I wouldn’t plan my trip of a lifetime for kids that young.  I’d wait until they’re older.  They’re not going to appreciate it and it won’t be worth the money.

We’ve gone on several “trips of a lifetime“, including our entire family on a luxurious safari, but we waited until everyone was older.

+1, they will not remember it in a few years and would probably like disney more.[/quote]

I’m okay with them but remembering everything. Also open to domestic but we have visited a fair number of places in the US. As a family we have gone to Costa Rica, Hawaii, Southern California including San Diego and LA, Vail/Beaver Creek/Denver, Martha’s Vineyard/Nantucket, NYC, Boston, San Francisco/ Carmel/Monterey, Grand Canyon, Utah Arches, Taos NM, Disneyland, Disneyworld, Amelia Island and St Augustine, Charleston, New Orleans, Seattle + San Juan Island, Coeur d’Alene Idaho and Philadelphia. Stand out trips for the kids have been skiing, Southern Cal, Costa Rica and NYC. They liked Disney but didn’t love it and don’t ask to go back much. [/quote]

You are clearly raising children of privilege. Nothing you do with them is going to be the “trip of a lifetime” because you’ve already bombarded them with experiences. [/quote]

I agree with this. I think it’s nice to travel with kids but you are really ratcheting it up at a young age. They’re going to be bored and unimpressed teenagers who won’t be excited by anything and won’t appreciate anything. You’re gonna have to get them seats on a submarine to visit the Titanic just to up the ante. [/quote]

This x1000.  They will have nothing to look forward to.  Nothing will seem special.  [/quote]
