[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I'm getting from this is that you want us to think you are cool for taking a toddler to Joshua Tree???[/quote]

No. I feel really weird and gross now knowing that our friends are judging us for it. It just never occurred to me go to Disney. It wasn't something I cared about. I thought parents who took their kids places like this 1) went with older kids and 2) went because THEY really wanted to go and needed an excuse.[/quote]

What I am getting from you is that you only think about what you want.  You dont consider the interests of others.  [b]Every kid wants to go to Disney even if just to see it.[/b]  If your kids tell you otherwise it is because they know you will disapprove of them if they express interest and they don’t want to disappoint you.

NP. I'm happy to take my kids where they want to go, but I know as a kid I didn't want to go to Disney. We went once before I was old enough to have input, but once I could help open I wanted to go to aquariums and Civil War battlefields mostly. [/quote]

It matters that you went.  Assuming you remember, you were able to talk with other kids about it etc.  We went once as a kid and didn’t go again for a decade or more and that was because I had a much younger sibling (big gap between us) who had never been.  I never asked to go back because I knew it was a BIG vacation to go at all.  But to never go at all is different.  I would bet that the kids are just a tiny bit curious what all the fuss is about.  Kids like to be in the club and most kids around here go to Disney or Universal at some point.  Maybe they never go back and maybe it’s not their thing but I think OPs kids who have never been and apparently say the have no interest at all are telling her what they know she wants to hear.
