Hi all, do you think a two year old is too young for Disney? Do you think she will remember going?!

She won’t remember but you’ll remember the joy and excitement on her face, and trust me, it’s priceless!

@floats Geraci Conroy you couldn’t have said this any better! We took my son to Disneyland last year. He was a little under 2 years old and his excitement was priceless. I’d do it again without any regret

We took our 2 year old and he loved meeting Mickey. I don’t think it’s too early for them to enjoy. If she likes characters, I think she’d have a great time!

This is such a personal choice question . No it is not too young to watch your child happy and cherish those memories FOR FREE mind you lol . I have taken my son twice at 11 months and 2 years and it was amazing to watch both times im about to take him again right before 3 cuz thats when u have to start paying for tickets lol . Good luck

I waited until my youngest was in Kinder. He was 6 and my oldest had just turned 10. it was worth it. They can ride all the rides, walk around with out being carried or needing a stroller.

@korean yes! This makes me upset when people say they won’t remember. They may not remember the specifics, but it shapes who they are for getting the experiences. Also as moms we will remember and cherish the moments.

If your kid likes the stroller it will be fine. We are here joe and mine won’t ride in stroller. Takes an hour to walk a minute. Long days. Glad we came but ya

While your child will enjoy it, unlikely they will remember. My son was almost 3. 5, he has no recollection (he’s 12 now). And I COMPLETELY agree with the above comments about stroller/walking. It would be next to impossible walking all day (and relatively miserable for you)

I took my daughter at 2 to the magic kingdom. She had a fabulous time. They may not remember but there is a lot they won’t remember. You will though and it’s fun. I would only go for 1 day though and to magic kingdom. We stayed at a nice hotel and enjoyed the pool and relaxed the other days. We brought a comfy stroller so she could nap while we walked around and there are so many rides they can do. Going back for her fourth birthday and she is excited. (Grandma and grandpa live close by so it’s any easy trip for us)

They definitely won’t remember details I went when I was 6 and again when I was 9 and I remember it so much better when I was 9! That being said I took my son at 4 and I don’t think he remembers details but he does talk about it a lot! I say if you think she’ll like it, go for it! ❤️ I’m sure you will have so much fun experiencing it with her!

It is and it isn’t. I think it’s up to you. My oldest two didn’t go until they were 5 and 7. But their younger brother has gotten to go at 9months, and was there again at 1. 5yrs, and 2. 5 years. I think 9 mos and 1. 5 yrs was way too young, this was the first year he really enjoyed meeting characters and doing the rides. Plus-2 year olds are still FREE!

Who cares if they remember? It's. not just a vacation for your 2 year old. And i can safely say that the 2 year. old that i nanny for will remember that he is there this week with his family. The kid knows all the names of the paw patrol, bubble guppies, power rangers, and transformers and you're gonna tell me he won't remember Disney? Negative. If a kid doesn't forget you said they could have a lollipop if they crapped in the pot, they ARE going to remember Disney. Why would you even say they wouldn't? That's dumb. They do remember. Go and have fun.

@providence exactly! And even if THEY don’t remember it, the joy and memories YOU will get just from seeing their faces in awe is truly something magical.

We took our twins at 2 1/2. They remember some thing, especially when we look at the photos. A couple of pluses to being under 3: free admission for her and if you get the meal package, you can share your meals with her and not have to include her. Have fun!

I remember, before having kids, thinking how stupid it was to bring little kids and babies to places like Disney World. until I had my first son. We took him to Florida to visit my dad and grandpa, and spent a couple days at Disney when he was 15 months old. He wasn’t even walking yet, but he loved it, and we loved watching him have fun in the moment.

I have a 2 and 5year old and have a rule before going to Disney. No diapers, no stroller and no naps. Once they have outgrown those stages I can not wait to go! I think it is fine however to take them at 2 but there is a lot more “stuff” to handle and depending on the time of year, sitting in a stroller in Florida heat can get pretty hot.

We took our first to Disneyland at 2. She loved it and to this day still talks about it! Three weeks ago we took our two girls (now 5 and 2) and our two year old is still talking about it. They’ll remember. It’s a super awesome age (plus their free till 3) and I sobbed watching the excitement in my two year olds eyes. So worth it.

Not to be a Debbie Downer here but. We took our daughter to Disney, she turned 3 while we were on the trip. People told us it was a waste, she was too young, couldn't ride anything, she'd never remember, blah, blah, blah. OMG if you could have seen the way she LIT UP being there! We had no idea that our daughter would unexpectedly pass away less than 6 months later. I said all of that to say F what people say! MAKE THE MEMORIES while and when you can! This was truly the BEST DAY EVER

I personally have zero memories of being 2. scratch that before 7 really. Yikes! I look at pictures but that’s about it. Can you afford to go to Disneyworld? If you have to save up money for a trip, maybe wait to go on a trip until the kids can remember it. If you don’t have to save up money for a trip, then vacation often. That’s what I would say IMO. We don’t vacation but my kids have a great $$$$$ start to their college fund instead.
