It’s not like Disneyland is the only form of entertainment. I have children and do things with them all the time.

If money weren’t an issue, of course I’d have fun with my children at Disneyland. But I have limited resources so I find other ways to spend time with them that gives them just as much fun and entertainment. We have an annual pass to Thanksgiving Point, for example. No, the water tower isn’t as “magical” as the princess castle, but it’s okay. It’s not like they’re comparing their experience at Thanksgiving Point to what their experience would be at Disneyland.

I prefer to wait until they’re 7 or 8 years old. It’s just as magical for them at that age, but at that point they’re potty trained and they can handle a full day without a meltdown. They’re less prone to wander off, and they’ll actually remember going there.

There are pictures of me at Disneyland at about 4 years old. I have absolutely no recollection of it. I’m sure I’d be just as happy with life today if at that age my parents took me to the beach instead.
