4. WDW For People Who Insist On Bringing Kids To WDW That Are Too Young. (those who do not have siblings, cousins, etc. that are an ok age for WDW) Yes, there is such a thing as being "too young" for WDW-- I personally know that I wouldn't have cared for for it much as a 3-year old, and the people I know who did go that young can't remember a thing about it!
Wow I can't believe you went there. I ought to save my response to this statement in a notepad file because it comes up so frickin much.
The whole reason Disney was created was so that families with members of ALL ages could go and enjoy a vacation together. I've vacationed in a lot of places, and there is no better place on Earth to vacation with an under 3 year old than WDW. By this upcoming January my 2 year old daughter will have been on 5 WDW vacations. She knows who almost every character in Disney is, some of the attractions she's so excited and happy it actually makes me cry to see her - I was wiping off my tears watching her face when Jo-Jo appeared in the "Playhouse Disney" show. She runs around my house singing "yo ho yo ho" and “you can fly you can fly”.
I also have a 4 year old boy - and his 6th trip to WDW will be in January. He's been an absolute disney fanatic since the age of 2. At least once a day he asks "can we go to Disneyworld tomorrow?" He remembers every detail of every ride, he loves the parades and has a blast waving at all the floats going by, he begs to ride the "ghost ride" over and over again. While we're at home I always catch him singing "yo ho" or "there's a great big beautiful tomorrow". My 4 year old knows more about Walt Disney World than most adults.
Just because you “personally know that you wouldn’t have cared for it as a 3 year old” doesn’t mean that other people’s 3 year olds don’t care for it either. My kids have loved going to Disney since they were under 2 years old! If you remember how you “personally” felt when you were a 3 year old, then that’s pretty amazing.
I am always just plain annoyed with people like you who believe that all children ages 3 and under should remain locked in their houses with no entertainment or stimulation because they are "too young to have fun because they wont' remember it". I think the mentality that only children ages 4 and up should be able to vacation with their family is ridiculous. It is awesome to see the amazement on a 1 or 2 year old's face when they see all the neat stuff at Disney, and to deprive them of that just because "they won't remember it" just seems dumb. Whether they remember the details or not, it's those early childhood experiences that shape their little minds and imaginations.
Ususally people who make statements like that have no kids themselves and really don't have a clue what they are talking about anyway.
PS - I don't remember a thing about elementary school. Maybe my parents shouldn't have let me go to elementary school because now I don't remember it 20 years later.
