Dear AMom,
You're missing the point, dear. It is hard to relax with a toddler at WDW. You're constantly dealing with tantrums or planning how to avoid the next one. If you relax too much, you might even lose them. You have to be on your game the whole time, and that is what makes it work, not a vacation. You're free to state your opinion, but let's keep this discussion civil, shall we?

Oh My . . .
I feel for the dear mother who originally posted her question. From the response of MOM above very few vacations can be fun with a young one. For goodness sakes, the mother originally asking the question was taking only ONE child to WDW. It is as if she has three or four children under five to keep track of at WDW!
As I noted above, it was a little challenging when we took our one child (at the time) at age 2 to WDW, twelve years ago - But it was certainly doable! And I do have pleasant memories of the trip. I have pleasant memories of all our family trips.
We knew at the time the little child would not remember the trip. And we knew we would visit WDW later when she was older.
Twelve years ago, as well as today, I was and am concerned that I do the best I can with my kids (now 14 and 10). I certainly don't think this "concern" is doing anything but helping them. And I am loving every minute of it - Even the really difficult minutes. They will be gone before we know it!

We took our kids aged 11, 7 and 2 to WDW last year. It was great and something we’ll never forget. There were times where we needed to make adjustments for our little one and times when we just sucked it up and forged ahead. Luckily, nothing traumatic happened. I do remember her sleeping in her stroller a lot during the day. You just have to be realistic in your expectations. We broke up the group and did separate things when necessary. WDW is a lot to handle for any age. She is 3 now and has become more interactive on vacations. We do not regret taking her to WDW at age 2.

To everyone who replied negatively to my original message, we just returned from a WONDERFUL vacation with our 2 year old daughter. The one thing that I couldn't wait to come back and do is post this message. I also truly believe that those individuals are not meant to be around children and that is fine but don't steer someone away from a vacation that is truly meant to be for families to enjoy!

So Glad you had a great time! Would love a trip report. Where it may be more appreciated however is on Deb Wills site www.wdwig.com, you could email a trip report & she will post tips to the appropriate FAQ or trip report section.

Come on people! Any guidebook or website tells you how to do WDW with kids! It was obvious from the get go IWilson, was going to do what she wanted to from her posts. Why the heck did she waste valuable space posting here? IMO, this person has some psychological need to get attention! Then she has the audacity to post a gloating in your face post!! IWilson is definitely warped!!!

The first time I took my daughter she was 22 months. It was very easy. She was in diapers, so no wet panties like when she was 3. Also, she was too young to ask for everything in sight. She was easy to feed and slept in the stroller. She loved everything she saw.
We all had a great time. Babies are easy to travel with. Just keep them fed and dry, and make sure they get enough sleep. The sights and sounds at WDW are attractive to everyone, even infants and 2 year olds.
