Took DD's best friend with us last year. It worked out fine. I think she behaved better and was less argumentative than my own children. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

My stepsister is 6 months older than my DS, and we took her to WDW once. She was a total pita...afraid of everything (I'm talking even Spaceship Earth and she was 11 at the time) and wouldn't eat anything except plain pasta with no sauce.

What was difficult for us is that we have a really flexible kid and aren't used to high maintenance ones. I'll think twice before bringing someone else again.

Not to WDW, but I did take DD's friend on a cruise with us. Worked out great. The girls get along and her friend is very easy to have and grateful for the trip. It was in 2005 and she still keeps saying its the best trip she's ever been on. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

I havent done this but my family did when I was younger. We took my male cousin with us to hang out with my brother. We went with 3 other families and all the kids were girls.

One thing I would stronly suggest is getting a signed medical consent form and have his/her parents and you sign it and notarize so that in case of emergency medical care can be provided. We also have these for my parents so that if they have my kids they can take them for medical treatment if needed. My kids are 1 and 3 and they expire when they are 18 years old.

Ok, we would not do this because of liability issues unless the kid was a family member. We are big scared weenies that way

If you are going to, then I would suggest doing the Power of Attorney for Health Care of a Minor Child as suggested by the above poster and also a Certificate of Consent for a minor to travel with you within the US. Those are both helpful to have on hand in case any problems arise. Better to be safe then sorry. The specific requirements for those documents are going to depend on your state laws. In some states the POA is only valid for a set amount of time, which cannot be exceeded (then a new one has to be executed). Of course, in your case it should expire when your trip is over. Just my opinion. Hope you all have a great time!
