[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My only child is 10. Disney has never been a big draw for me, I never went as a child myself, but after hearing friends going on and on about the magical place, I'm wondering if I'll regret not going when my child is still young enough to appreciate the magic. Plus they're now getting into Harry Potter so might be interested in that part, too.

We enjoy other theme parks like Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens for a day, (but not necessarily more than a trip to NY or Philly for museums and culture). How much better of an experience is Disney?

We have international family so most of our family vacations have been to them. Should I reconsider Disney?[/quote]

I as a child went to Disney World twice, EPCOT once or twice, and Disneyland once.

I also went to my local town's amusement parks many times.

I think that, for kids who aren't absolutely in love with the Disney Princess universe, the Disney parks are just not that great. They're very expensive, the rides are baby rides, and, if you're at Disney World in Orlando, the ocean is two hours away. Downtown Orlando is fine, but it's not nearly as much fun as Melbourne, Florida, let alone St. Augstine, Sarasota or Tampa's Ybor City.

For most kids, it would be better to combine a trip to a fun city with a beach and a good, affordable local amusement park than to blow a lot of money on a Disney park.[/quote]

There is way more to Disney than just baby rides and princesses.  That’s like saying don’t go to Rome you can get good spaghetti in the US.[/quote]
