What is the best age to enjoy Disneyland?

Disneyland is great for kids over the age of 7. So if you have 4 kids, 2 of which are under 7, you may have to watch which rides you can do. For my family, this meant that my oldest two (ages 9 and 10) could ride rides together while an adult rode with the younger kids (ages 2, 4, and 6).

Toddlers are totally free before their third birthday at Disneyland, so be sure to schedule that trip just before your child's big day.

If you're worried about them remembering, wait until they're both age 5+. I still remember my Disney trip from the age of 5. It's one of my most memorable vacations as a kid. If I could only take my kids once or twice, I'd probably wait until the youngest was 6-7 (tall enough for most/all rides, magic is still there).
