    What is a good age to take your child for the first time to WDW? I have a one year old and I was planning to take him when he was 2. What do you think?

    I think 2 is a great age to visit WDW! You'll all grow from the experience of traveling to WDW together.

    Does my son remember his first trip at age 2 to WDW? No. Does he enjoy looking at the pictures and watching the videos? Absolutely. He also loves to snuggle and hear stories about what we did on that early visit. He finds it amusing that he called the monorail the "Disney choo choo". As his Mom, I would have been sad to have missed out on watching the "world" through his young, magical eyes. Now we don't ride Dumbo as much as we race to Space Mountain. Those earlier years were precious for our family.

    Magical moments at the age of 2 included dining at Chef Mickey's, visiting characters and riding the monorail. Here are just a few attractions that your child might enjoy:

    Magic Kingdom -

    Peter Pan

    Small World

    Dumbo

    Pooh

    Buzz Lightyear

    Tomorrowland Speedway

    Magic Carpets

    Jungle Cruise

    Tom Sawyer's Island

    Parades and fireworks

    Epcot-

    Nemo

    Journey into Imagination

    Visiting characters in World Showcase and Future World

    Hollywood Studios-

    Muppets

    Little Mermaid

    Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area

    Toy Story Mania

    parade

    Animal Kingdom-

    Triceratop Spin

    Boneyard

    Lion King

    Nemo musical

    Camp Minnie Mickey greeting trails

    Safari

    Parade

     and so much more!

    Now that my son is battling Darth Vader in the JedI Training Academy and bypassing Dumbo for Space Mountain, I treasure our memories of our earlier trips.

    Best wishes for a wonderful first trip to WDW!
