What age would you take your kids to Disney world (assuming you have the money for a one time trip)

I’m always curious on what age families think is perfect to give their child that experience.
What really came to my mind: is it important for some parents that their child is able to remember this big day? Or is it memories of this experience not a factor—especially because we can record and take lots of pictures

I want to take my girl to Florida but living in the UK, I know it will be a once in a lifetime kind of thing so I want to make sure she will remember it! I'm thinking maybe when she's about 11yrs old

We’re going to Disneyland in two weeks for the first time. My kids will be 6 and 4. We could have gone before this age, but we wanted to go when no one was napping, out of the tantrum/over tired phase, and for my oldest to be able to ride a lot of the rides. We’re not huge Disney people though.

I think toddler is good. We go most years to visit my grandma and do a day at Disney. When my oldest was 8 months we just did Disney springs because I didn’t want to fuss with a baby there but now that she is older and baby is almost a year old we’re planning to go this or next year

Definitely out of the tantrum / overtired / napping stage. When I was a kid I wanted to go to Disneyland, never did, but I feel like if I had as a baby, I would have been suuuuper irritated that I couldn't even remember it, especially as a once in a lifetime thing.

Taken my toddler at 18m and at 2.5. 1st was really for us, 2nd time was for her.

I’m planning on taking mine to Disneyland Paris next year when they will be 6 and 3 (or 4 depending on if we go in April or October). Florida doesn’t massively appeal to me as it feels too big and I think I’d get overwhelmed never mind the kids 😂 I feel like any younger the youngest wouldn’t remember and I don’t think it’s a holiday we’d realistically do more than once

assuming it would be a once in a lifetime trip/opportunity (which for us, it absolutely would be as it would take a lot of saving etc as it’s so expensive), then we would wait until our kids are old enough to truly enjoy it, so i’ve voted school age!

We’ve been twice with the kids from the uk. 6m & 8. 5 & 12 which was probably the best time as really magical for my then 5 year old. Going again in August with our now 8 year old and 16 year old and going to Epic as well. Ironically it’s cheaper to go to Florida for 2 weeks than 1 week in Europe somewhere in August. It’s the park tickets that’s the killer! Also done Disney Paris 3 times but doesn’t compare.

If you can afford it, why not lol

We took our girls to Disneyland when they were 2 and 13 but have said will go back when our youngest is about 8, we only went so our oldest would still enjoy it and find it magical but deffo need want to go back so our youngest remembers it this time.

I only plan on taking my kids once. My oldest is 8 so probably in 2 years when I’ll have 10, 7 and 5 year olds.
I’ve heard it’s so consistently crowded that is not at all what it used to be. We also live in Maryland so it’s a plane ride with 3 kids or an extremely long drive to get there.

We took my nephew for his 5th birthday and thats the plan for my son. I would love to take him sooner as our family trips to Disney were some of my best childhood memories and I want to experience that with my own kid.

We go twice a year usually and have been going every year since before we had kids.

I’m going to Disneyland Paris in June and my daughter will be almost 8 months, and then we’re going to Disney world in October! She’s free to stay, enter the parks and fly!

6 months is the youngest we take ours, they are free till 2 and it’s amazing for us and our babies love it my 1 year old just lights up when she sees princess or characters in general

i would say 5 if i could only go one time bc i would want them to be able to remember & get a full experience but i wouldn’t be mad about going earlier if i could go whenever bc disney is so so FUN & i also wanna do a friend trip no kiddos

that’s a hard answer bc I know my son would be so happy and truly engaged and involved with disney parks if we went (he’s three) but I don’t know if he would remember it much for when he’s older looking back… also another consideration is if they can handle a trip like that, I imagine disney is a sun up to sun down experience to get your moneys worth and I’m pretty sure we would crash out in just a few hours 😂 so probably older even though my memories of his reactions and sharing the experience would be worth it in the end. I’m just broke so this is all hypothetical 😭

If it's just really one time, then at least 6/7, so they will remember.

But they are free until 3! So we've been 3x (at 8mths, at 1.5, and at 22mths). Each time has been so sweet and special❤️

I seriously can’t wait for the day my daughter meets Mickey Mouse! She squeals every single time she sees his face anywhere lol.

as much as we can afford from the time they’re born!! we love the mouse 🐭

its so worth it! Hey they may not remember but it still is amazing and you will remember it! I made a photo album for my son last year and it was his favourite thing to look through. Plan to do another this year! ❤️ my son was chosen for a special experience with goofy and loved all the other characters! Perfect for the toddler age! Staff at the park also all help when they see you struggle. My son dropped his bubble wand and it broke open. A worker comes in running over fixes it up and fills it back up lol another helped me move my stroller when my husband got on a ride with my son i was like where am i this is great!
