[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did all of those ages and found "A" to be the sweetest. We took our 2 year olds and they talked about Disney for an entire year. Every day they remembered it and talked about it. Every time a Disney movie came on with the Disney fireworks in the opening, they talked about the fireworks at Disney. 2 year olds are just adorable.

And yeah, my kids went on other great trips and international vacations yearly, but Disney really held their little hearts.

I would NOT go on a Disney cruise until your youngest can go to the kid's program. Napping on a cruise is the worst. Whereas my kids just stroller napped at Disney. We got to Disney at rope drop and left when it closed. They just did whatever we wanted. [/quote]

I'm very surprised to see so many C and Ds. I think those are people who really don't like Disney. I don't loooove it either, but it's so magical for the young kids. My vote would be for A and then another trip 3-4 years later when the younger one is 5. That's the best age to go - still into the magic of it all but old enough to remember it.

We went when kids were 5/1, 9/5, and then just did a Universal trip more recently. I would have regretted waiting until my oldest was older than 5 or 6. [/quote]

Some of this is kid-dependent.  My youngest was 4 when we went and yeah I guess it was a bit more magical for her than our 6yo but it was also just a lot of stimulation and we pretty much had a daily meltdown at some point.  I can't imagine taking her younger.

I think the other thing to consider is that with three kids with that range of ages, you really need to think about how the two parents are going to divide up.  Like we frequently split for things because 6yo wanted to go on Star Wars rides but 4yo found that too scary (and may have been too short for some?).  And there were some where they both needed to ride with an adult.  So if there's a 2yo who can't ride anything, you need to be sure the older one is comfortable sitting on their own if one parent is taking 2 kids on a ride.[/quote]
