Should a 3 year old go to Disneyland?

Everyone has a different opinion on the perfect age for taking kids to Disneyland, but I think any age upwards of two is a good time. Younger than two, and some of the magic might be lost on them. You can definitely do Disneyland with toddlers though, and this post has lots Disneyland tips for toddlers.

Three year olds enjoy most anything, don't they? Our kids started going to Disneyland before they were 1, and they enjoyed it as much as they enjoyed many other things (such as trips to other parks; Disneyland is a park...)
