Your stroller, etc. wouldn't cause me a bit of trouble, unless you asked me to push it for you. When your youngest is 20 do you think that she will have accurate memories of these early trips? Or will her memories be what she has been told took place? The one who didn't go until she was 9 would have been going for 4 years by that time in our household. We considered our kids to still be "little" at age 5, 7 and 8. But without dealing with strollers and diaper bags. There was not a chance in the world that we were going to be changing diapers at WDW parks. Vacations with diapers consisted of things like renting a beach house on Isle of Palms for a couple of weeks.
You don't "damage" your kids by taking them to WDW (unless you act like a screaming idiot while you're there). You do damage by not preparing them for entry into the real world, which is NOT going to recognize their "total and complete perfection and infallability".
What's up with your holier than thou attitude on this thread? Just because everyone doesn't abide by your reasonings and/or method of entry into the park and/or lack of carrying stuff around, doesn't mean they are WRONG, or bad parents, or coddling their kids, or idiots for bringing a camera bag to protect their (potentially) thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment!
I mean... really, dude?
