We will be taking our family of mom, dad, and 3 daughters ages 2, 5, and 8 for the first time to WDW in January. I have never been, so I have no basis for planning other than books, websites such as this, and travel channel documentaries.
I have begun getting marginally concerned about the number of attractions that I (dad) and my 8 year old daughter will really want to see, but that will likely be too intense for the other girls. The abundance of Travel channel shows on WDW has helped to gauge reactions. Although we play the "uh huh", "huh uh" game with the 5 year old, as to whether or not she will be scared, I know that they will almost certainly be too much for her.
How do you experienced veterans deal with the difference in ages and appropriate attractions. Would it be better to just plan on splitting up and dad going with the older sister, and mom stay with the younger ones? That's not much of a family vacation solution, though.
