I say go for it! We go to Disneyland often with our LOs (now 14 mo and 2.5 years) and we enjoy it. Sometimes we do half days but we usually do full days in the park. There are always a few rides we can all go on with relatively short lines and they looove the parades and shows. DD was afraid of the characters at age 2 but now she loves them. DS is still pretty unsure about them. They both wipe out mid day and will take about a 2 hour nap in the stroller.

I think it's awesome your dad is a Disney fan! That'll make the trip even more worthwhile and a special memory for him

Make sure you take advantage of the rider switch passes for the rides LO is unable to go on.

ETA: Also take advantage of the baby care stations, if you need to. They're great!

We went for LOs 2nd birthday and it was fun. Exhausting, but totally worth it. She is about to turn 3 and still talks about it.

I would do it too! We are HUGE Disney fans in our house, my parents started taking us when we were 2. Dd turns 2 this year so we will be taking her when she is 2.5. Im going with low expectations and to play it day by day, but I know she will have a blast.

definitely do it. just be prepped with snacks and drinks (water is a small fortune in the parks) and be prepared to go slow! the baby centers are awesome, too.

We're going with DD when she's 2.5 and I can't wait! I would definitely take her at 2 as well. Under 3 is great because they're free! I especially say go for it since it's not your only possible Disney trip--we also hope to go a few times in DD's childhood. I think them not remembering it is only a factor if it's a "once-in-a-lifetime" trip and you're doing it primarily for them, not the whole family--but I love Disney and travel so trips are as much for me as for her! Definitely take a lot of breaks and don't plan on taking it at a super-fast pace but I bet you'll have lots of fun!

Honestly, that sounds really tedious and exhausting to me, but I'm not a disney fan. I'll take my kids some day if they ever want to go, but absolutely when they're old enough to enjoy it and appreciate it. I'd only go with a young child if I or my husband was really into it, since a not even two year old isn't really going to care one way or another.

I'd do it, especially since it's with your Dad...what I wouldn't give to have my parents be able to take my son to WDW!

Is your child still napping? If so, just plan around it and decide if you're staying on site or off.

Do it!! Seriously. Everyone's given great advice, esp regarding fast pass- waiting in line is the hardest part for toddlers so avoiding that as much as you can definitely helps. I went with my 8mo, my 7mo nephew and 3 year old niece and all three of them loved it. I would go every year is we could afford it.
