It's actually super expensive, surprisingly dirty, and boring with long lines and expensive nasty food. We lasted about 2 hours with our kids (6 and 8) then left for a Disney water park.  Lower your expectations because the place has not aged well. [/quote]

Not our experience at all.  Our 7-year old DD isn't really a Girly-girl, but she embraced everything - breakfast with Cinderella and the princesses in the castle, a hug from Buzz Lightyear in Tomorrowland, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, the Everest ride, Pirates of the Caribbean, lunch with Mickey, Donald, and friends at Animal Kingdom, the Lion King show, the Toy Story rides, T-Rex in Downtown Disney, the fireworks, the parades, the light shows, the great pools, etc., etc.  Don't let a few sour people make you think it's not a hugely entertaining trip for a child.[/quote]

That is exactly how my 5 yo daughter reacted.  She's a girly girl, so she ate up the princesses, but also a speed freak - if I never ride Space Mountain again, that's fine with me.  If you don't have fun in Disney, you just don't want to.

OP, if at all possible, I suggest going at an off time.  I know that's often not possible, but smaller crowds make a huge difference.  We went off-season, and were able to get to the parks right when they opened, and coudl knock out a bunch of rides with no lines at all.  And even in those less crowded times, Fast Passes for some of the more popular rides were gone by 11:00.  [/quote]
