They won’t remember it - are your kids too young for Disney? Apr 18, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we explore the idea that children can be too young to experience the magic of Disney World. Many parents hesitate to take their young children to Disney World, thinking that they won't remember the experience or that it's not worth the investment.
However, we argue that even the youngest visitors to Disney World can be enchanted by the sights, sounds, and experiences of the park and that those memories can last a lifetime. We'll share stories from our own families, and discuss the benefits of creating magical childhood memories.
