[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did Morocco and Egypt at 9 and that trip was a blast. My son never stopped asking the guides questions.

We've also done Italy, Croatia, Paris, Rome at various ages (3 to 5) and he loved it all. [/quote]

Agree. I doubt a 3 to 5 year old would really appreciate those places or even remember them. But then again this is DCUM and all the parents on here think their kid is the next _____________ (fill in the blank for some highly educated, world game changer, etc).[/quote]

Sorry to be obnoxious but yesterday I asked my son what his favorite family trip was and he said hands-down Iceland. He was three when we went and he is now 10.

But I didn’t take him so that he would remember it. I took him because all four of us wanted to go because we saw a YouTube video about it. If your kid wants to go to a cool place and you do too, I don’t think the fact the the kid won’t remember it is a reason not to go.

I personally prefer to do bigger more “exotic” trips with my kids because that’s just more exciting for me. I am not going to plan activities they don’t enjoy, because if they’re not having fun it’s not fun for me either. But what they remember isn’t the issue. I think it would be really hard to plan a trip around what would be most magical and memorable for the child because as you see here, that varies a lot. If I was trying to do that I personally would choose Disney, assuming my kids wanted to go. Luckily they haven’t asked because I take one look at those spreadsheets on Disney blogs and close my laptop. [/quote]
