[quote=Anonymous]I went for the first time at 12 and it was plenty magical. I didn't care about meeting characters but the rides and special effects were fun and memorable. It does seem to require a lot of planning ahead nowadays because there is so much in Orlando now and it seems way more crowded. When I first went in 1985 it was just Magic Kingdom and the new Epcot, and Universal was a brand new park when I went again in 1990.

We did take our kids to Magic Kingdom for a day when they were 6-8 as part of a family reunion. They enjoyed it but didn't seem especially captivated. They were pretty fried by the afternoon and wanted to go back to the house and swim. They are not really into characters or theme parks though - we've been to one park that's local to us several times but they've never asked to go back to Disney, or to Universal or other Orlando attractions. Meanwhile my sister took her kids (same ages as mine) to Disney/Orlando every 1-2 years so they had been there 3 times before this trip and the magic was gone, they were completely over it.

OP, if your child likes Disney or really wants to go, I'd say it's worth it (go during a cooler and less crowded season), but if not, he can certainly go at any age and find some aspect he enjoys. If you're not into rides, heat, overpriced food, crowds, and standing in line, vacation elsewhere. He'll be fine. [/quote]
