 Trip to Disney World?
I went to WDW with my wife on our honeymoon fifteen years ago, then one more time just the two of us before the kids were born. I have to say that as often as I have been to WDW and as much as I love to go, taking the kids was a whole different and more fun experience. The first trip we took with our daughter she was 4, and my wife was 6 months pregnant with our son. We had a blast. Sure, she could not go on the Tower of Terror or the Rockin' Roller coaster, but we still had fun. The following year my son was 1 and my daughter 5. The next trip she was 8, him 4. Next was 11 and 6, now this next trip in March, 12 and 7. Needless to say each time we have taken them there was a little bit more they could do and wanted to do, and to see their eyes light up when they walked into WDW was worth every penny. I wouldn't dream of going to a place like WDW without my kids.I would say it is totally up to you. My opinion would be to take your fiance's daughter. You are going to be a family, and a trip like this is a family trip. You are not going to some all inclusive resort in the caribbean that she would be totally bored at. I hear the argument all the time "But they won't remember it." Honestly, how many family vacations can you remember from when you were younger, even 10 or 11 years old. Your going to Disney, there is something to do at every park and every resort for kids ages 1-99!! If there is something you want to go on that she is too little for, use the baby pass. One parent rides while the other waits with the younglings, then you switch. You all meet at the exit. It is not the most fun way to do the rides, but it gives you the opportunity to rige the bigger rides. You also will then have some experience so when your step daughter is older you know when she is ready for those rides. I would also suggest staying at a Disney resort. Disney has a resort to fit any budget, and something that the off site resorts can't offer, PERKS. Disney takes great care of their resort guests, from free transportation to and from the Orlando Int'l Airport to use of their free transportation system. Now that does not sound like a lot, use of the transportation system. Speaking from experience of going to WDW with a small child, it is HUGE. When the little ones get tired, the ease of getting back to your room to swim, eat, or nap is important. If you stay off property either you have to drive into the WDW resort every day, or you have to rely on the off-site hotel shuttles, which are inconvienient and in many cases an extra cost. Staying on property is worth every penny.A quick story to make my point. When we took our daughter for her first trip to WDW, we stayed at the All-Star Movies resort. She was very excited when we got there, and while we were checking in she discovered a little playground just outside the door. My wife kept watch while I checked us in and they stored our bags, our room wasn't quite ready. I went to get them to jump on a bus to go to the Magic Kingdom, and my daughter had a fit! She didn't want to leave (thinking that we were leaving WDW.) On the bus ride to the Magic Kingdom she complained all the way, but as we got closer she got quiet. We walked in the gates, and standing on Main Street U.S.A. with Cinderella's castle at the end of it, Mickey walking around shaking hands, Goofy signing autographs, I looked down at her and said "Katie, welcome to Walt Disney World." She looked up at me and smiled and said, "Dad, we don't have to go back to that playground if you don't want to." My heart melted, my wife and I broke out laughing. That is a memory I will hold with me for the rest of my life. Disney is the most magical place on Earth, and you will not regret sharing it with the youngling.Hope this helps, have a great trip! |
