Hey everyone I've been MIA as of late and just been lurkin' haha. Anyway, I really want to take my niece to Disney! She's almost a year and I was wondering how young (or old) were your kids when you first took them to Disney? She's already obsessed with Minny Mouse haha!

We waited a while...until our son was 9. I wanted him to be able to remember everything, go on all of the rides and really be able to appreciate the magic of DL, and of course, the money we spent to enjoy a wonderful 4 days in the parks. Lol!  Hope she enjoys her 1st visit! - iHeartDisney84  267.1 #872 9:23AM
I started my two when they were tiny. Every trip at every age was amazing. - ShariRenee  1576.2 #51 10:38AM
1.5 years and 2 months. Had wonderful visits both times. I hope you enjoy her first visit too (in a whisper voice....the kiddie leashes helped us out a lot) - PrincessDuckie  590.8 #190 8:57AM
*whispering* We used one for my oldest when she was a toddler, but for keeping her in the stroller - she was a climber and wouldn't stay in without an extra harness. - jmgphx  323.0 #524 12:16PM
My daughter was about 3 months old. She 3 and a half now and can find all of the bathrooms! - LaPearleNoir  621.1 #179 9:26AM
My daughter was a newborn on her first trip and an AP holder since the age of 4...she's 11 now. - Linzee  533.3 #218 9:28AM
Haha that's awesome!! - wrecklexx  7.6 #7981 8:47PM
My daughter was 17 months, and my son was 3, my older 2 were 8 and 10. We have ap's now, for almost a month, and my daughter didn't realize until she saw Mickey where we were again, the next time, she realized on the tram, now she knows as soon as we are in the parking garage. - GarnerPhotography  321.4 #532 9:44AM
My son was about 3 months on his first visit. I know a lot of people say what's the point when they're that young but I think it's worth it for the memories you'll make and the pictures you'll take for them to look at one day and know you we're sharing the Disney magic with them! - DisneyLuvinMama  230.4 #1264 9:48AM
Yah I totally agree, I love looking at old family albums where I was like 6 or 7 on my first trip :) - wrecklexx  7.6 #7981 8:48PM
2 years only because I didn't have the money to take him when he was 1. - Lelundrial  344.9 #437 9:55AM
6 months 😊 - adventurerEnDisneylandia {AED}  284.6 #721 9:58AM
I found my son does better as a tourist than at home....😁 - adventurerEnDisneylandia {AED}  284.6 #721 1:28PM
My girls went at 2-3 months old their first visits. We love having pictures of them growing up in the parks. We got pictures of my youngest when she was a baby and again when she was two with the exact same Ariel CM. They like being able to say that they rode attractions that aren't there anymore, even if they don't remember it. - MamaRoo  351.6 #420 10:43AM
I took my nephew when he was 8 months old, he enjoyed it, but we were only there for about 3 hours. - Bolt22  43.5 #3963 12:26PM
It's way different with kids but still fun. I took my son when he was about 6 months. Even at that age they enjoy Disneyland. Especially small world and the parades. - Philliprocks  306.6 #590 12:35PM
Mine would tug on the waiters apron😳😊 - adventurerEnDisneylandia {AED}  284.6 #721 1:26PM
We took our daughter for the first time when she was 1.5 years old. She is now 10 and still remembers that trip. It was when she first met Aurora ..her favorite princess. - tinkfan88  5.8 #9596 12:48PM
Took our youngest when she was 18 months. She had a blast. Loved IASW and the parades and of course meeting the characters. - GoofyMomma  191.6 #1766 12:50PM
Took my little girl for the first time when she was three months old. She's 2 1/2 now and has been there at least 40 times since then :) - minniemoomoo  181.4 #1885 12:59PM
I don't have any kids (that I know of, or acknowledge).. but we took my nephew when he was 4 months old.. we went on POTC, IASW, and a couple classics - we can't stay too long (maybe a few hours) because it can get difficult. - LaTruce  1830.7 #44 1:05PM
Hahahaha "that I know of or awknowledge" - wrecklexx  7.6 #7981 8:42PM
We first took our son when he was 11 months and he had a great time (he didn't have any meltdowns anyway :)). I took advantage of the mother/baby center on Main Street, I love it there! Our son will be two next month and he's always wonderful at Disneyland (surprisingly lol). The only problem is, he refuses to sit in a highchair at restaurants and I refuse to let him scream it out in public, I guess I just pick my battles *sigh*. - kss4tink  216.8 #1426 1:16PM
Aw lol! Wow no meltdowns that's amazing!!! - wrecklexx  7.6 #7981 8:42PM
We took my brother when he was a month. Lol - Riahh23  32.1 #4362 1:19PM
I'm sure you'll will have a great time, we took are niece when she was that young. And she has loved it since - HanLostLeia  1093.6 #76 1:25PM
We took my son when he was 1 1/2 and my daughter as well ! - jmza4  243.4 #31532 1:28PM
My daughter was three months old and LOVED it! Never cried once! - iwantdisney  259.5 #929 1:36PM
Oh lucky! My niece is a little diva and cries at the littlest things haha - wrecklexx  7.6 #7981 8:40PM
I took my daughter for the 1st time when she was 3 months. Now she is 3, we both have AP's and have stayed at the grand and dlh. She is my excuse for spoiling both of us!! - Twitterpated  233.7 #1213 1:37PM
Awww! That's really cute haha - wrecklexx  7.6 #7981 8:39PM
Just take her, tell people it's for her, but we all know it's really for you to have fun. I always tell people it doesn't matter if kids will remember as long as you take pics of them having fun so they know later how much you cared. - madsdad  1245.7 #65 8:42PM
Love that mindset - wrecklexx  7.6 #7981 8:44PM
Definitely agree! I know I appreciate looking at the pictures my mom and dad took of me at Disneyland when I was too little to remember. - kss4tink  216.8 #1426 8:52PM
I took my daughter when she was 3 weeks old and my son when he was 18 days old. They're never to young. - Mandm07  7.3 #8165 8:52PM
I took my son at 3 months- it was totally a trip for him lol. We did find that there was still lots he could do with us. It was a great experience. Just a lot of long breaks and a slower pace than usual :) - missyandpaul  255.7 #970 9:10PM
11 months, she cried on all the baby rides. But I just kept taking her and little by little she got used to it. Now she can't wait to go every weekend. - USCVivian  192.9 #1752 11:14PM
