People asked why I would take an 18 month old to Disney - he would never remember it they said. Well this is why! - NEVER too young to experience the magic.

It isn't about his memories but the experience you all have as a family - MarshaMouse  2863.1 #15 3:11PM
👆This! - KermitFan13  407.6 #321 4:30PM
Well said - spaceranger916  337.8 #442 6:54PM
Ohhhhh! Absolutely adorable! Yes. The reason you bring a 18-month old to Disneyland is because that's how old he is! Are you expected to do nothing with a child until he is 5 simply because 'he won't remember?' That just doesn't make sense to me! - meridafan  1036.1 #83 3:23PM
Exactly! None if my friends ever understood why I would bring my kids from about 9 months on . They might not remember .. But I remember . All that matters is being "in the moment" and enjoying disneyland with your family - eviljules  281.2 #725 4:27PM
::whispers we started taking Abby at 3 months, and so glad we did! She loves Disneyland.:: - LilMissPixie84  35.1 #4167 10:59PM
Can I just tell you how much this picture warms my heart?!? Everyday I think about when I get to take my little boy to Disneyland for the first time and I so look forward to seeing reactions like this! - kritomiester  328.3 #482 3:55PM
Copy it, share it, frame it because this photo really is priceless!! (And I just want to (very lightly) pinch his pink cheeks!! Such a sweetie! - secretagentangel  669.6 #154 4:32PM
Through the eyes of a child 😊 - Missymoo  392.4 #342 11:12PM

Precious!!!!! - MomWithAJuiceBoxBuzz  922.2 #94 3:08PM
I definitely agree! We took our son at about a year old and he loved all the sights and sounds. Disneyland is so colorful, perfect for babies. What an adorable expression! :) - kss4tink  216.8 #1396 3:09PM
adorable! - Sarafina  398.6 #335 3:09PM
He might not remember the exact trip, but he will remember the feelings he had when he was there. Looks like he is hooked for life! - lovetheland7  139.1 #2458 3:09PM
Adorable! - MXPrincess399  482.1 #246 3:10PM
I know how you feel. I'm taking my son next month. He will be about 16 months and everyone wants to know why i would take him since he won't remember. That is such a great expression. - rachelelizabeth  146.6 #2337 3:11PM
I absolutely love his expression! - Armenda  994.4 #89 3:13PM

So true!! Adorable picture! - duckchub  290.3 #668 3:35PM
Agree with you 100%. The joy on the little face is priceless - FairyGrandmother  119.8 #2742 3:37PM
So true! We took my nephews at that age. They may not remember it but I will never forget that trip with them! I experienced Disneyland in a whole new way with them! - AKMouse  376.5 #364 3:38PM
I used to be one of those people, then I started taking my now 9 month old son, and I am now experiencing the magic all over again when I see his smile grow into a squeal when he watches the fireworks or sees Screamin' go roaring by our car on the Fun Wheel. He might not remember it, but for those few minutes he is the happiest little boy in the world. - mandigutterrose  156.4 #2204 3:41PM
so much awesome in his expression! - OhanaPhoto  1414.3 #56 3:43PM
What an adorable picture - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint  1798.9 #42 3:57PM
Awww, love that face! - ElectricMayhemMom  312.3 #546 4:24PM
I've heard that comment several times. You are right for taking your child. - TangledsDad  192.7 #1720 5:30PM
Priceless☺☺ - jokers-queen  7.8 #7690 5:32PM
I've heard that comment many times too. When I've encouraged people to go with me & my toddlers, I get "I'll wait until they're 4+; otherwise, it's a waste of money." *shakes head - MommaMel  24.5 #4695 5:34PM
I've been told that too. To which I reply, it really isn't about money, since kids under 2 don't pay for airfare, under 3 don't pay for tickets and stay free at a hotel. Soooo... - MsKa-chow  12.2 #6184 5:49PM
Absolutely love his expression...we're taking our 18 month grandson and I wondered how it would be, getting even more excited now - cdeley  392.8 #341 5:43PM
The expression on his face is so cute. - aidensmama  336.5 #445 5:45PM
Well plus you will always have the picture for him to see as he gets older. Totally worth it. - madsdad  1124.8 #73 5:46PM
Awwwww, that's when I took my first trip to Disney way back in the day! - Dufus  109.4 #2914 5:54PM
Priceless! - pinkmonkeys  321.6 #515 5:56PM
You need to frame this! So adorable. - DisneyVacationLover  274.8 #782 6:08PM
Exactly! - socaldad85  88.0 #3166 6:09PM
Classic!!! - bonedaddy909  338.4 #440 6:09PM
Love his expression! - MonLuvsDisney  157.5 #2183 6:10PM
I have been taking my kids since my son was 4 months old. My son is 3 1/2 years old now and my daughter is 1 1/2 years old. Not to mention I'm expecting another daughter in may. We are planning a trip in June. Totally worth the faces. - Disneyprincessmommy  157.3 #2185 6:50PM
I used to get that all the time too!!! Took my son on a holiday at 18 months and he's now 6 and can recall so many details. It's all about creating experiences and memories I say! Age is just a number!!! - ariel1981  276.8 #759 6:54PM
My little gal was about the same age in her first trip and she LOVED it!! I totally agree with you!! - brittandkell  288.3 #678 6:56PM
He will remember always. I feel that way on the inside every time I'm there. - supersparkles  34.3 #4198 7:07PM

I used to feel the same...couldn't remember my first Disneyland trip as a two year old. But when I have kids I will want to see their faces....just like this sweet pic - Islandariel  169.3 #2017 12:35AM
I started taking my daughter on a regular basis at 6 months old and she loved it!! When she first started talking when we got to the parking structure she would always start screaming, "Disney!" - Queenof2princesses  254.7 #965 12:55AM
Love it! - LisaMouse7531  409.1 #317 2:00AM
This is such a cute picture. My daughter.is 15 months and she loves it. - CM_JLuvly  7.0 #8211 2:40AM
Yes!!! We started taking our little one right when she turned one! I love seeing her reaction when we come back every week(we try) we take her so much that sometimes I feel she will never forget! Lol - annjay07  134.6 #2525 4:26AM
Such a precious face! I love seeing the looks on my nieces faces when we walk in for the first time. It's the most amazing feeling! - mcramos925  247.4 #1034 7:34AM
So sweet. I have a picture of my son when he was a year old and he has the same look in his eyes. When people say their kids are too young to enjoy Disney, I show them his picture. - mamamouse22  26.4 #4563 8:38AM
