My wife and I want to take our two sons to WDW together for the first time in 2022. The three year old has been twice - once for his first birthday and once about a year later, so he obviously doesn't remember it - and the other one is currently nine months old.
If we wait until the older one's next birthday, it would be a February 2022 trip when he turns four, and the younger one would be 20 months.
If we wait until the younger one's birthday next year, it would be a June 2022 trip when he turns two, and the older one would be closer to 4 1/2.
Half of me likes the idea of them being as old as possible, and waiting until June instead of February could actually make a significant difference with the little one being four months older. Four months is a big deal when they're under two, and even the older one being four months older can make a difference, as well.
We've also celebrated the older one's birthday there once but obviously not the younger one's yet, so it's tempting to lean toward June in order to have celebrated each of their birthdays at WDW.
That said, the other half of me likes the idea of going before school gets out (if we don't go during winter break in February, of course), and I also like the idea of not going in the summer, as the summer heat and humidity in Florida is just one more variable that can make it difficult with very little kids. But...not really pool weather, and we do like the pools, so it's a bit of give and take either way.
What would you do and why?
