If you're only going to take them once, I'd wait a few years until they're between 5 and 10 or so to maximize both the ability to retain memories and ability to see the experience through a child's eye. If you're going to go once when they're young and then again later, taking them at 3 or 4 might be ok.

We will be doing a two week Florida trip next year for a combination of our 5 year anniversary and my wife finally finishing school. We went through looking at all the costs and have figured for about 8,000 for the entire trip, which includes everything.
Is early June already the super busy and hot time at Disney World? I will definitely make sure go there on the weekdays. |

If you figure $10-15 for lunches and $25-$40 for dinner and $5-$7 for snacks (Bottle of soda, gatorade, ice cream bar), then it's not too bad remembering that you're paying Disney prices everywhere you go. Reservations are needed typically for the dinner places but they just scan your arm band after you eat and you're good to go. |

Unfortunately that's not an option as my wife is in her last year of school. But it's just the two of us so I am not overly concerned with crowds. We know there will be people but just hope it isn't so bad as to make it awful.
What is the fast pass or arm band situation these days for skipping lines? |

We waited until the kids were old enough to ride everything. I hated the idea of always having a kid that would have to stand aside while the older kids rode something. Six was the perfect age as far as my kids were concerned.

We have pretty much replaced Disney with Jamaica at this point. The all inclusives in Ocho Rios are one hell of a value compared to disney these days.
I did promise my youngest we would go to Disney one more time so I'm hoping I'll be lucky enough to find one last really good deal and call it good.

That new fastpass system really ruined Disney for me.

I read an article in a finance magazine about a year ago that one of the main reasons Disney is raising their prices is for crowd control. I'm sure making the extra money helps in their decision making process.
They are losing a bunch of money on espn fwtw
