The author reflects on their love for Disney and their experiences taking children there. They emphasize the importance of age in creating memorable experiences and have decided to wait until their grandchildren are older before visiting the parks. The article shares a nostalgic recounting of a past trip and contrasts it with the challenges faced by parents today. By opting for alternative Disney experiences, such as visiting Disney Springs, they aim to preserve the magic for when their grandchildren are better able to appreciate it.
As much as we can't wait to take our grandkids to the Magic Kingdom, we vowed never to pay them a $150-plus entrance fee until they're 6 or 7 years old.
Sadly, my youngest doesn't remember any of these wonderful family moments because he was too young.
It's expensive and exhausting. Seeing parents and grandparents trying to get every dollar's worth out of their tickets takes the magic out of the Happiest Place on Earth.
We still take them to Disney World - either staying in our RV at Fort Wilderness or enjoying the atmosphere at Disney Springs.
