    Should've took him when he was four like my parents did and pretend that I was 3 so I could get in for free.

    Whatever year you go, just don't go during the summer months.

    I think 10 is probably the best. My family went again when I was 18, and while fun, wasn't as good as the first time... (Shut up Michael Scott)

    but then they don't remember much. My parents took my brother and I when I was about that age, and all I remember is going through the Its a Small World Afterall river thing on floating boats and being awed by all the different cultures, accents, styles, etc. so peaceful and happy :D

    awesome! where all have you been yet? I'll have to pm you here in the next day or so with more specific questions. it would be neat to get a point of view from somewhere actually there, right now, in the moment.

    We waited our were 11 and 9. Then took our daughter back with a friend as young teens. Start whenever because you will want to go back, not just for the kids but for yourself! It is awesome. We had so much fun both trips. I don't know how close the beach is? but do it first it won't compare to Disney ;) Our kids loved the Disney resorts as much as the theme parks. The Contemporary had water sprites, small kid size jet skis, my son thought they were the best part of the trip. The Polynesian has a beautiful pool, the girls loved it. They have that wonderful water park too. And Epcot around the world, I cried in that world ride, and I loved bar hopping there all around the world :D. Can't say enough, I want to go back, I need a grandkid!

    We took our kids starting at 5, optimal was this past trip in April... 9,7 and 4. Something for all of them. Once they reach 8+ I would definitely suggest including Universal Studios...

    Not only for the weather, but for the crowds.... go when all of the other kids are in school.

    But yeah... 8-10 would be good I think...

    What is the perfect age for a boy to spend time at Disney World? If you were to spend a whole week there and go to several of the different parks, what age would he get the most out of it? 10? or younger?



    My son is 6 and a half. We couldn't go now or anything, just planning ahead. I'm thinking more like 2 more years or so down the line. I think I will have to plan for a year anyway just to find the best package deal. But if we go with my brother and his family, and take the grandparents, then we can benefit a lot.

    Ideally, I would love to have 2 weeks set aside for a trip like that because there is soooo much to see and I HATE rushing around on vacation. Besides the different Disney parks, I just want us to have time at a real beach for a couple days--just lounging by an ocean--that doesn't have oil floating around. :D

    I went when I was 8. I recomend going when they are 10/11.

    I dont remember it at all... I was too young to appreciate the experience. I would have had the same amount of fun if my parents would have just taken me to the park by my house. :oops: :roll:

    I see ur point, but "magic" kinda got lost on my nephew. My 3 year old little girl had the most amazing expression on her face. I'll never forget seein her dancin and clappin during the electric parade.

    We went to a breakfast today at one of the resorts. Donald, Goofy and Minnie were there. I am not a sentimental guy and seein my little girl meet an imaginary mouse made my eyes well up. Amazing!!!!

    My kids (3/9/13) all love Disneyland (and I have a good time too). We've been passholders for a few years now. The three year old really started to get it recently, although she's still a pain in the long lines.

    Check the blackout dates on the Disney World website for the Florida residents. The blackout dates are the times of year you definately don't want to be in Disney World unless you like waiting in line for 30 to 90 minutes for one ride. We made that mistake once.
    Most everyone enjoys Disney World at any age, but you can't beat seeing the look on a 4 year olds face when they're walking through the Magic Kingdom. Priceless.

    I've been to Disney World literally over 1,000 times in my life. my dad was on the PGA tour and always went down to play in the Walt Disney Classic every October, so my sister and I always got to get out of school for a week every year to go down. it only got more magical every year.... I haven't been to WDW in Orlando for sometime now, but I go to Disneyland frequently since moving to LA. I love it more and more the older I get!

    I took my 2 year old daughter in February. She had a blast. We spent a week and set up 4 different character dinnings before going. She still talks about it and wants to go back.

    Disney World is truly a place where someone can have a great time no matter there age.
