Taking Little Kids to Disney World (4-7 years old) We're moving on to little kids ages 4-7 years old. This is a great time to take kiddos to Disney World for the first time since they're still young enough to be excited about meeting the characters and all the fun, little-kid targeted Disney stuff.
While I don't think you are crazy, and I think a trip with a newborn is doable, especially for a seasoned mama, for a first-time mom I might recommend you wait at least 8 weeks, but maybe even closer to 12-16 weeks. I have visited Disney while pregnant, but the youngest I have brought to Walt Disney World was 4 months.

Should We Hold Off Disney Vacation Plans Until Our Baby is Older? There is no reason to wait for a certain age because Disneyland is a place for all ages.
