only taking some DCs to Disney land.

Me and DH have been talking for years about taking our three eldest to Disney land when they were old enough and when we can afford it. Next year they will be 10,7 and 5 and DH thinks that it would be the perfect time to take them as the 5 year old would be old enough to enjoy it and the 10 year old wouldn't be too old to be bored.

However we have Dtriplets who would be 1. We have people who would love to take them whilst we were in Disney.
We are just trying to gain information at this point and we asked SIL who went last year with her 4 DCs aged between 2 and 16. She was horrified that we would not take the triplets with us. She thinks we should take them all. But at 1 it seems a bit pointless. We could wait till they were older but then our eldest would be a teenager and she may not enjoy herself as much or she may not want to go at all.

DH is into the idea of going next year with the eldest then going in 7 years or so with the triplets and the older DCs that want to go. However we may not be in a position to afford it then.

So AIBU to take some and not others.
Does anyone have any experience of this at all?

BTW - I wouldn't think the older child will be too old in a few years either. Disney has stuff for ALL ages to enjoy. I am way older than a teen but still love the rides, the shows, etc.

I hadn't even thought of the plane Blush

I am older too and I am very excited about going. Dh is by far the worst though and he is 33 Grin

YADNBU. We went when DD was 4 and I remember seeing a couple with three kids, aged about 5, 3 and 1 and thinking it looked like BLOODY hard work for one child who'd remember it, one who probably wouldn't, and one who definitely wouldn't AND get nothing out of it. Multiply that by three - yikes!

We went with a 5 and 7 year old and thought it looked lik hard work with babies. I nearly went when my youngest was 2 and glad that we held off. There's a wide age range between my siblings and we grew up sometimes having different holidays.

Great idea to take the older ones-they get some quality time with you and your dp whilst the triplets won't realise they are missing out. Just make sure you take them when they are old enough to enjoy it...it'll be lovely to spread the excitement out.
