I worked at Disneyland in California for years-- long before I had kids-- and I won't take our two girls until they are 5 and 6 1/2. You rarely see five year olds throwing fits but plenty of younger kids do. As for the "magic"? A six foot tall Mickey Mouse is pretty creepy to a toddler. The rest of the park is really designed to wow adults who can appreciate things like architectural detail and marketing tricks such as blowing candy scent into Main Street. Once, while working the crowd during a parade, I asked a three year old boy what he liked best about Disneyland and he replied, "The birds have pink feet!" Save your money and steal away to a quaint little riverside town where you can feed pigeons and play on the swings!
