Best Age!

Lisa ParsonsFebruary 21, 2017What is the best age to take my kids to Disney?  This is a question that I hear often.  After all, a dream vacation is an investment of sorts.  We want to make sure our family can treasure this special time when we can get away and just have fun!Some families wait until the children are old enough to remember their time at Disney.  Maybe it is important to you for your kids to remember the first time they saw the Castle or got a hug from Mickey!Although I can relate to this mindset (my kids were 4 and 7 their first trip), I also have a new perspective on this.  Parents of young children are often overwhelmed with adjusting to new schedules and thinking about developmental stages.  A Disney vacation is time away to remember the joys of parenthood.  That huge smile of delight on your child's face as they ride Dumbo for the first time is a memory for you to hold onto.  Although your child may not remember this moment, you will.Of course there is also a point where some feel their kids are getting too old.  At Disney I truly believe that something magical can revert even the most stubborn teen back a few years.  There are many different places to go and things to do that would excite your teenager.  You may also want to consider a Disney Cruise at this point in life.  Disney Cruise Line offers “Wave Phones” that keep you in connection at all times on the ship.  There is even a special “Teen Club”.  It really opens up time to be together as a family, yet have fun alone time as well.In conclusion, I feel that every age is the best age to visit Disney.  Walt had a vision of family togetherness - I think he did a pretty good job of achieving it!"We believed in our idea - a family park where parents and children could have fun - together."—Walt Disney For more great Disney information, contact me at Lisa@WishesFamilyTravel.com and follow me on my Facebook Page.
