(We have a nearly 5-year gap between our third and fourth children, so we knew that it would be hard to wait until all four children were old enough to form memories.)įast forward a few years, and we finally took our Disney vacation in October 2019. We wanted to wait until our children–at least our older three who are very close in age–could remember the trip for their entire lives. After all, our kids loved Disney movies, characters, etc., and we had no problem with that. We hoped we would take our kids to Disney World one day. At the time, we felt a societal push (based on some conversations I was having with other moms) that Disney was the must have vacation for every American family–and we didn’t like that pressure.īut even when we weren’t actively saving or planning for a Disney World vacation, we didn’t put it completely off the table for the future. We honestly didn’t want the cultural pressure of “having” to take our kids to Disney World.
