[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PP. As a mom of four girls, they all gravitated towards their own things - regardless of how we tried to influence.

This thread makes me sad. The princess phase is really so fleeting. My experience is they move out of it by age 5.

As an “anti Disney” person myself, one of my most magical memories was seeing my daughters experience Disney around the age of four and five. [/quote]

So then are you still anti Disney?[/quote]

No. I guess I am not. However, I absolutely do not get the grown adults wearing the merchandise and honeymooning there.

My advice (having done it both ways), is if you end up with a princess loving girl, go visit the park when they still believe. Even my husband commented how special it was. Don’t you “been there done that” parents agree?[/quote]

As the mother of a 4 year old who isn’t really into princesses, but has adored Mickey since she first saw him when she was 12 months old, I totally agree. We took her to Disney in February, before everything went crazy with COVID, and it was absolutely wonderful.

Seeing her really believe she was meeting Mickey, Minnie, Winnie the Pooh, etc. was priceless. And honestly, even my parents—who definitely aren’t the theme park type of people—love going to Disney because of the cleanliness of the parks and the level of customer service.

We plan on going every couple of years because DH and I enjoy it too. There’s a lot to do for adults, especially if you enjoy Star Wars. They’re also about to open a couple of pretty cool attractions based on Guardians of the Galaxy that are definitely not geared towards little kids.

I think Disney is great for the young and young at heart. And there’s no reason you can’t go there and go elsewhere, assuming you have the money. We’ve also taken DD to Europe twice so far and intend on taking her abroad every 2-3 years. [/quote]
