I was surprised at how cheaply it can be done - yes for some it will be expensive and when my daughters were tiny it would have been out of the question but if you are going to plan or save to go anywhere I would say it would be a safe bet for a good time. We got awwwwessssommme treatment and of course not everyone has their own VIP treatment, but I saw enough to know that paying guests were swept away by the "magic" as much as we were.

We also went AS kids, in the early 70's shortly after it opened. Obviously, it has changed dramatically! We have been a few times – my hubs and I even went once BEFORE we had kids.

Honestly, my children are 11 and 3 and I think 3 might be too young. Both of mine have had fun with the rides/attractions, but there is a lot of walking - accompanied by a lot of whining (in my camp). Even though the 3 yr old is in a stroller most of the time. And, she has taken to the notion that Mickey shows up at EVERY restaurant! LOL. I’m glad you had such a great time. Honestly, my children are 11 and 3 and I think 3 might be too young.

Did I mention I was a teenager and it was still magical, even in my snarky teenaged mind.
