Or rent a stroller from Orlando Stroller Rentals. Then you have somewhere to leave your bags and whatever else you bring in the park.

We’re leaving for Disney next Sunday. I’ve never been, but my wife (no pics) has and she wanted to bring the kids. My oldest is 6 and my youngest will turn 3 at the end of March. We’ll see how it goes.

To be fair, she was 2. You could have just blown bubbles in the air and she would have been equally as happy.

Memory really doesn’t register until age 6 or so. I would say 8 years old.

Kids need to be old enough to remember it when they’re older

2 months they will remember everything. After that 6 is a good age.

Over 40 inches in height and not completely scared of rides and you will get your monies worth, imo.

7 is a good age, then go back again when they're around 11, before they turn on ya.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Get there at least a half hour before open,hit the big rides early, then LEAVE AT LUNCH.

Take a nap take a nap take a nap.

Then return around 3 pm when the # of people leaving is greater than the # coming in and stay for the fireworks.

Under 3 is free. Age 2 has been the best time to take our kids actually. We have gone right at 2 and right before 3. It’s a great age.

Were going with ours when he makes 5. He’s 4 now, but still to short for some of the rides.

5. If you take a one or two year old to Disney you are a fricking idiot.

There are height requirements for many rides so make sure they are that tall.

I think 6 or 7 years old is old enough for most kids.

They are out of diapers and probably tall enough for everything.

Both my eleven year old and my nine year old have been to a Disney park every year they have been alive.

Don't care that they don't remember the early years. We have had a blast every time we have gone - except the year we went at Christmas. Never will go at that time of the year ever again.

The most magical times for both of them were when they were younger than four.
