Hi ladies!! My DD will be 3 in December and is already a disney fanatic. She adores all the princesses and everything she has is princess. I have never been to disney although my DH has and we disagree as to what age she should be when we take her. I want her to be young enough to still feel like shes looking at the real princesses. I have friends who took their 3 yo and she loved it. Now we also have a 4 month old daughter but I'm afraid to wait for her to be older because I want my older DD to see it while its still real to her and in my opinion-- kids I know at least are becoming to wise and synical with even a few years older. I would love to go and take her next summer but I dont know if we should. I'm not against take Brenleigh now and waiting for Sienna to be a few years older and going again.


I'm completely new at looking into all of this stuff so any and all help is appreciated! TIA

We took ours for the first time when they were 2.5 and 5.5 and it was perfect!

Amber,


I think it really depends on your DD's personality.

Well, personally I am a Disney nut, so I think that going any time with any age kid is good, lol!

Thanks for these replies, another ? if you dont mind. I dont wanna go to far out with taking her so many places. What would you reccommend doing with a small child there?

Just a little bug that may swing your dh to your side ........


If you go before her birthday or she is not yet 3 when you check in - She's free admission and at buffet/all you can eat restuarants.


Many of us here plan trips long in advance mostly becuase we love the planning part and partly becuase of expenses - so not knowing where you're coming from - that would be a hard call.
