Short story We have been going to WDW regularly as it's our favorite vacation destination. A few years back I was lucky to be sent to DL for a conference, so DW and I decided to enjoy DL and then take 9 days to drive up the coast of California. Saw a lot of interesting places and DW and I thought they will be amazed when we went up to see the giant redwoods. At first yes, but then when we would be driving and would say "look at that" we got, "ugh, are we still in the forest" I can definitely say that our DDs would be totally bored in Europe etc. after just a few days and even faster if they spoke a foreign language. We will be doing a trip to DC, because on one trip we stopped there for the night and they said they would like to go back
Really? Bored with the entire continent? I just got back from a trip to Europe with my DS12, and he had the time of his life. His two favorite things were watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night, and the Sistine Chapel. Now, to be fair, I left him home from last year's trip to Italy, and I told him it was because I didn't think he'd be open-minded and mature enough on the trip. So, on this year's Europe trip, he made an extra effort to try new foods and new experiences. It really worked well. And the language barrier was much less than you might think--most people speak at least some English. Now, I wouldn't be in a rush to take a 7yo--on our tour, there was an 8yo, and she was a trooper, but she did have some trouble with all the walking. Still, she and her family had a lot of fun.
