Disney World now or later? Vermont Family Vacation Resorts? Dude Ranch?
0Question: Disney World now or later? Vermont Family Vacation Resorts? Dude Ranch?
My wife, daughter (nearly 6), and I live in Maryland. We’re considering whether to do Disney World in August or wait a year or two (or three…).
At what age does the wonder start to fade? My daughter loves (most) princesses now; when does the imagination fade? I’m hoping for an age that combines an ability to go on rides (she’s 4′ tall) with her current innocence/wonder. When I was 12 or so, I was already too “mature” (in my mind) to like many kiddie rides or Disney characters. (As the Byrds sang, “I was so much older then; I’m younger then that now.”)
If we don’t do Disney World this year, we’ll likely do a Pennsylvania trip this summer, which would include staying at a working farm, going to an amusement park, and going to Pennsylvania Dutch country.
Next summer, we might do Disney World or a family vacation resort in Vermont, like Tyler Place or Smuggler’s Notch.
And what age is good for a dude ranch trip?
Any thoughts on this jumbled mess of ideas?

When does innocence fade? I don’t know. I was 22 when I went to Disneyland in California. I was like a kis in heaven. I guess it depends on the person. By the time she gets into MTV it’ll prob. be too late for her to get all fanatic about Cinderella, so maybe as soon as possible.
Dude Ranch? Take to ride horses near where you live first, then you’ll get the feel of whether or not that’s something she’d like. But then, all girls like horses, and a working farm sounds great. You’re a bery thoughful Dad. My hats off to you.
By the way, How’s her breathing after the pool incident? I keep up on this stuff.
