My oldest is 4 and has been twice already... she most definitely remembers! In fact today she told me she is making a list of her favourite rides ready for next year...

My other daughter will be two in two weeks time and has been just once... she enjoys looking at the photos of her trip and certainly remembers “mouse” and “castle”

what I mean is there are things they wont experience if you wait til they are older.
it is personal choice at the end of the day what decision is made but I do not agree that it is not worth bringing small kids as there are always magical moments and memories to be made

I didn't say that, it's just the memories will be for the adults, not for the children, no problem with that of course but for families going once I imagine you're thinking about the children's memories too.

Yes she's still very young, ask her in 3 years and I can guarantee she won't!

2022 is a big year for all of us as a family. We were going to have a special trip but after this years complete washout we’ll either have a blowout or not go at all. It depends on the next year and how it all unfolds.

Disney is always busy and always awesome. October is a brilliant time to go. Its still our favourite time.

Yeah but the big difference your oldest as already been twice and your youngest been once the post was about only going once and I know a few people at work ask me about Disney and Universal and they plan on only going once cause of the costs and I said to them at least 1m tall to enjoy most the rides at Disney or 1.3m to enjoy most the rides at both resorts.

I still disagree, even if they don’t remember you will and those memories are so so special.

Disney is about more than rides in a theme park after all we have theme parks closer to home.

Disney is pure magic, for me it’s a feeling that you just can’t get anywhere else and to share that with a little one while they still believe it’s all real is worth so much more than getting on more rides imho.

But if you're going there for a child isn't it important for them to have actual memories of it too rather than them just looking at photos with no actual memories of it? If not then you're really only going for yourself, not the child.

No... everyone is missing the point entirely.

Why does it matter if they remember it or not? What is important is that they go and that it makes them happy and special in that moment.

Making them wait so you “get your moneys worth” is more selfish and more for the parents than the children
