My two nephews went at 3 years old and 9 months old. The 3 year old (now 4) still talks about Disney EVERY DAY! (kind of like that Disney cruise line comercial, almost
). The 9 month old doesn't remember, but during the trip was very happy and took in all the sights and sounds, and enjoyed being with Mom, Dad, aunt, uncle, and grandparents for a whole week.
But if you want them to truely remember their first visit years from now, you should wait until 4 or 5. I went when I was 8 and the memories have faded quite a bit. I still have memories, but just snippets, not the whole trip like I remember all my adult trips.
In short, there is no perfect "age" for the trip itself to be an amazing experiance for your child. But if you want them to remember, I'd wait until 4, and 5 would be even better.
