I'm a crazy parent of a 4-year old (he was 3 on our last trip.) And I'm ready for the houses to be gone. I think they are in rough shape and I never did like the "over-mickeyness" of them.
DS, for the most part, could careless as well. He does like Minnie's Kitchen, but Mickey's house is of no interest to him when we walk through. He can't play with the ping-pong table so what's the big deal? And we always skip meeting Mickey at the end, we go to the Character Spot in Epcot, usually much more managable line wise (and DS even chose to leave that line once when it was too long - we've raised him well )
And as far as taking small ones to Disney... DS has been 5 times, #6 in a couple of months. A Disney trip to him is just as much a part of his knowledge as any other family trip we've taken. He knows a lot about the parks in terms of where things are and what to do where. Does he have specific memories? As of right now. Yes. Next year will he remember what he did on which specific trip, probably not, but I forget a lot too. It's the experience when we're there.
