Why You Should Take Young Kids to Disneyland
To the People Who Say My Kids Are Too Young to Remember Disneyland
I've heard this over and over: "Why bother taking a child under the age of 5 years old to Disneyland? They won't even remember it! Why deal with all those crowds and spend all that money on a kid who won't have any memory of their first visit?" I mean why do anything with your children before they're old enough to remember it, then?
And I saw so many babies there during my recent trip with my 3.5 year old and 15 month old that I know I am not alone in disagreeing with this point of view. Not to mention, I have proof — a photo of myself at 3 years old sitting on my dad's shoulders in front of the Mickey Mouse flowers that brings back so many nostalgic "memories" even 29 years later. Turns out, in addition to wanting to give your kids a magical childhood experience, there are actually so many reasons to take them to Disneyland when they're young.
1 Because experiencing the park through the eyes of your child might actually top your own experience of going as a child.
2 Because sometimes you need an excuse to satisfy your Dole Whip obsession.
3 Because those personalized mouse ears just look more adorable on toddlers.
4 Because there are a lot of ways to spend money on children and Disneyland is proven to be worth it.
5 Because the Instagram pictures will be way cuter than the ones you'd get when they're teenagers.
6 Because hearing them talk about Disneyland will be music to your ears long after your visit is over.
