If I lived close I would buy annual passes and be there allllllll the time, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney/page/2#post-1881648 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 14:35:20 +0000 HabesBabe 1881648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took C when she was 3 months old, and H when he was 2 months old. However, we are lucky because:</p> <p>a) We get in for free (me &amp; the hubs, too, not just the kids) because I used to work there and still know people who sign us in<br /> b) We live 10 mins away so we can stop at home for C's nap</p> <p>If we didn't have those perks, I wouldn't take them until they were almost 3 and almost 5. That way, one kid would still be free and they would be old enough to enjoy it. C is 2 now and is terrified of the furry characters, but likes the face characters (princesses). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney/page/2#post-1881506 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 13:20:29 +0000 littlebug 1881506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're thinking about taking D in the Spring...he'll be 2 in January. We just took him to HersheyPark this past weekend and he LOVED it. So I think he'll really like Disney. He'll be free, and we'll be staying at my parents' house in The Villages, so that's free, too. If we had to pay for him and a place to stay, we'd wait until he's old enough to really appreciate and remember it, like at 5 or 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney/page/2#post-1881469 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 13:00:20 +0000 pui 1881469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 I think, but I'd like to wait until all my kids are above 4+ to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1881465 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 12:59:48 +0000 loveisstrange 1881465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say 4/5 minimum. Its not something I could see us affording to do a lot, so I want her to remember it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1881453 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 12:54:48 +0000 JMOM 1881453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took my DD to WDW when she was 7 months. We have so many adorable pictures from that trip, she wasn't afraid of the characters at all. It seemed kind of silly to take a 7 month old but she loves looking at the pictures now and we had a great time. We went to Disneyland last summer she was 4 and she still talks about going back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1881287 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 11:37:30 +0000 ShootingStar 1881287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My minimum is when DS can recognize the characters and not be scared of them. I'm assuming that age will be around 3? My parents have a winter home in FL not too far away from Disney and we go there every winter, plus DH is a huge Disney and theme park fan. </p> <p>When I was little my parents took us for the first time when I was 7 and my brother was 2. He spent most of it in the stroller and sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880998 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 09:04:11 +0000 BandDmommy 1880998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: agree. :happy:<br /> I think you just need to set some realistic goals if you take a younger child. I know that we were ambitious and our next trip we will be realistic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880924 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 07:17:06 +0000 MrsTal 1880924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are a huge disney family and go every year but I don't have a little one yet so take what I say with a grain of salt. Our first trip will probably be around LO's first birthday and we will probably go every year for at least a few days. </p> <p>I think at 2.5 your LO would have a blast, BIL and his wife took their boys at almost 2 and 1 and the oldest remembers bits and pieces and talks about it still two years later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880906 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 06:37:06 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1880906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 if this was our main annual vacation.</p> <p>However, given we live just 3 hours away from DW, and have gone to DW or Universal Studios for a long weekend, our LO may be younger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880888 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 03:09:48 +0000 looch 1880888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You don't know until you try it. We went last year at 2 years 9 months and are back now at 3 years 9 months. Anything is possible if you are strategic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880887 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 02:14:10 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1880887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3, but if I can help it, she'd be closer to 4 or 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880881 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 00:33:59 +0000 anonysquire 1880881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went a couple weeks ago and she was 6 months. We rode a couple of rides but pirates and snow white scared her. It was more fun dressing her up as a princess everyday :) Oh and she got to eat at blue bayou which she loved, got a giant sucker which she loved even more. I really think she enjoyed hetself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880872 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 22:51:09 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1880872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we took Olive when she was 1 1/2 because she was free! She was able to enjoy many of the rides and had a blast. </p> <p>i would take them just before 2nd birthday when they are free, and then again at 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880870 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 22:37:06 +0000 ElbieKay 1880870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am hoping to skip that entirely. Maybe his grandparents will want to take him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880836 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 21:40:59 +0000 wonderstruck 1880836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tip though, for those saying they'll take them when they don't need naps anymore? Yeah, they might still need a nap. At the very least, take a break in the middle of the day to go back to the hotel so they can rest, swim, nap if they're tired, etc. Otherwise you're bound to end up with a child having a total meltdown and no one having any fun, especially in the hotter parts of the year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880809 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 21:03:53 +0000 yellowbird 1880809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: we took our almost 2 year old in august. She turned two a coupe weeks later. We had a BLAST!!! She could ride almost everything in Magic Kingdom and she is still talking about several of the rides and sings It's a Small World all the time. I thought it was great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880807 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 21:00:27 +0000 chopsuey 1880807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went recently. DD was 3 yrs 4 months old and DS was 19 months old. we'll probably go again when the kids are 4 and 6. It was fun and magical, but too stinkin hot when we went. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880788 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 20:36:01 +0000 Sparkler 1880788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We regularly take family vacations, but neither my husband or I are big Disney people. That said, my mom is already talking about a Disney vacation and I sure the kids would love it. My vote is that when our youngest is at least 4, we would consider it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880771 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 20:25:13 +0000 Smurfette 1880771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5! Not napping and can remember it. Not spending all that money for nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880693 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 18:55:26 +0000 mrsjyw 1880693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Four! Just because he's a sleeper and would like to go when he's no longer needing a nap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880680 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 18:40:08 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1880680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We plan to take future LOs around kindergarten age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880678 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 18:37:40 +0000 Charm54 1880678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents started taking us when we were 2 and we went pretty much every year. I think I will do the same - once dd is out of diapers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880661 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 18:07:58 +0000 Mamasig 1880661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably around 18 months - I want them to eat normal food. I don't want to have to deal with bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880645 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 17:38:45 +0000 LalaLove 1880645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took LO in May a few weeks before her 2nd bday. We just really wanted a vacation and figured Disney would keep her happy and all of us entertained. We drove down from NH which was an adventure in itself lol. She did wonderful and there were some moments that me and her dad will cherish forever, but I do think she was a little to young to truly enjoy it. We plan on going back when she's around 6. I will say I think if we went next May when she will be 3, she would be way more into it than last year. Just in the past month she sings all the disney songs and pretends to be a princess. Every time we see that castle at the beginning of a disney movie she says, "Mama, Lala, Dada, remember?!" So she does have the memory of the fireworks at Magic Kingdom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880635 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 17:21:43 +0000 pinkcupcake 1880635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We recently took her to a theme park in Korea and she had a great time (she's 2.5). She just barely met the height requirements for the youngest rides, so there weren't too many we could go on, but she loved the rides we did go on. Initially, I wanted to take her to Disney around age 3, but now I'm re-thinking and we will likely go when she is 4. She was terrified of all the costumed characters so I can imagine she would flip out if she saw all the Disney characters. I also want to wait until she's taller so she can go on more rides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880629 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 17:12:05 +0000 autumnlove 1880629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went when LO 1 was almost 2.5 and LO 2 was 1 and we had a blast. We live nearby and spent the whole day at the park. LO 1 really enjoyed the rides and the lines weren't bad on a weekday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880625 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 17:05:00 +0000 shopaholic 1880625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's too young! We live so close to Disneyland people take their infants. And by 2, the LOs all seem to be really into it, remember rides, characters, specifics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880622 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 16:56:53 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1880622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Isnt it free before three?</p> <p>I plan on taking LO before he turns 3 for that reason alone. Also we get cheap flights from NYC and I love going to Florida. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-youngest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-disney#post-1880616 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 16:43:45 +0000 BandDmommy 1880616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took LO this year when he was a little shy of 2 years old. We are planning on going again next fall/winter, he will be 3.5 and DD will be almost 1. </p>
