CAPTAIN HOOK said:My youngest was 2 years old the day after we returned from our first ever trip. She was able to enjoy the entire experience in her own way and concessions were made so that she could do things. A word of warning - the characters completely freaked her out, she wouldn't go anywhere near them (even in my wifes arms)

Sure we could go before he turns 4 and we'll make due with the diaper changing and the naps, and he'll have a great time. But he'll never remember any of it.
My wife and I feel that WDW is such a special place that we would like him to remember his first visit. We wouldn't want to take him now, and then when we go back later in life (when his long term memory has developed) and have to explain to him that he had already been there, he just doesn't remember.
We also feel that without the need for diapers and (possibly) naps at 4, we'll have a better experience as well.
I certainly understand that if older siblings are in the picture, that you wouldn't want to keep them from the experience. We just have our son to be concerned with, and we've decided to wait.
