I remember visits from when I was 3 or maybe even a little younger. I voted 3-4, but I don't see any reason to not take kids earlier as long as parents are comfortable with it.

I voted 9-10 because that's the age of our daughters when we went the first time and they loved it. And now they are Disney fans as much as Mom and I. It really does depend on the children. Ours were accustomed to going to Six Flags at least once a year, even when they were still in the womb. When they went to WDW the first time, it was like a whole new world and they loved it. I said 9-10 because the children are somewhat independent and they will remember the experience. But, seriously, if I were still in the childbearing portion of my life and had an opportunity to go to WDW, I'd certainly go and take the children with me, whatever their age. There might come a time when they are too "Cool" to go with their parents and have a good time. This never happend to us, but I've heard others say that they wasted their money taking their teenagers to WDW. So, I suppose it's possible to wait too long to take that first trip.
