We have an only child too. She's 12, a young 12. We've been considering inviting a friend along. She has two close friends. And to be honest, I do prefer one over the other. It's just when she's around one of them, it just brings out bad behavior. She's much more "calmer" and well behaved with the other. What keeps going thru my mind is the huge responsibility. WDW is a big place, lots of ways to get lost and I'd be the first to admit I can be a little over protective but I'd always rather be safe than sorry. My cousin has an only child, too. They went on a beach vacation when her daughter was around 15 or 16. The girls were "mis-behaving", I don't know specifics but I do know once they snuck out. She couldn't take it anymore, said she wasn't going to be responsible and cut her vacation very short and went home.
