Well, as a veteran of over 20 visits in the last 20 years with 2 kids I can say it's what you make it. If you're a miserable person in general you will have a miserable experience. With just minimal planning you can make all of the things people bitch about completely disappear.

I think 4 years old is the minimum age for them to have any specific memories of the visit.

I love this point that always gets brought up in a Disney thread. It's like people think you shouldn't leave the house with a kid until it's 4-8yrs old. "Nah honey, I don't want to take junior baby to the zoo. He's only 2. Oh the mall? Nah, Sally won't remember her first trip to the Gap." Silly.

Yeah, because going to the zoo or the mall is exactly the same as going to WDW.

Yep, sometimes the memories are for the parents as well. My wife's sister took her 2 year old daughter. Lots of cute pictures of her giving characters huge hugs. Young kids can still have fun even if they don't remember it forever.

I get that there are plenty of other great places that you should take your kids. There is nothing wrong with a few Disney trips along the way too.

Don't bring logic to the OT.
