Her dad thinks she is too young still but I dont. He doesnt think she will get to do many things because her age. I wanna go in september because the rates are cheap and (hopefully) the crowds will be smaller. What do you think?

Yes. go in September. She will probaly be able to get on some rides but the magic of Dusney alone will amaze her. Perfect age to use her imagination with Mickey,Minnie, Donald etc. Make sure to take lots of pictures so she can always remember her time there! It will be a lot of fun. They even have the character breakfeast which she would love! Have fun!

She would find a day at Magic Kingdom pretty exciting, even though she's not old enough to appreciate the majority of the offerings. Remember though, that she is going to tired and have "had it up to here" with the park long before Mom and Dad have seen and done all they want to see and do.
Your options (1) accept this and make a short day of it, despite the high ticket price (2) get a hotel adjacent to the Magic Kingdom and take an afternoon break for some familiar "from home" foods and toys, and a nice long nap (3) wait a few years.
I don't think such a young child would care for Epcot or MGM at all, and after taking the Safari ride, might be restless and Animal Kingdom as well.
If your family has the money, I'd suggest a couple nights at a WDW hotel, one day at the Magic Kingdom, and one day for some non-theme park activities like Bird Island, a character breakfast, Lego Land, Wilderness Farm, and so on. Typhoon Lagoon is a great water park, if your daughter likes water.

I would definitely take her. She may be too young to really remember the trip. But, take a camcorder and a camera and take pictures and video like a mad-lady ;-) These will be memories that you will cherish forever and together you will have fun watching in the future. The first trip to Disney is more for the parents enjoyment, you will never forget the trip. Her next trip should be when she is a little older and will be able to ride almost everything and enjoy it. But, she should still be young enough to really feel the true magic of Disney, that only a child can feel. 7 or 8 is the perfect age for a second trip.
But there will be plenty that she can do to have a good time and enjoy the trip. Your going to blink and she is going to be in college, so enjoy the time while you can!

She is a great age for Disney! Heck, my parents took me when I was only weeks old and got some of the cutest photographs you've ever seen. She'll have a ball! Magic Kingdom is geared for kids her age and she will be able to do almost everything! She may not be tall enough for some of the faster rides (48inch height requirement), but there is so much to see and do! And Septebmer/October are the best months to go because the crowds die down and it isn't as hot out.
If you want to make the trip truly memorable for her, stop by The World of Disney Store at the Downtown Disney Marketplace and step into the Bippidi Boppity Boutique. There, Disney hair and makeup specialists will dress her in the princess gown of her choice (you guys pick it out and all of the accessories), and then they do her hair and makeup and add sparkly glitter to her eyes and cheeks. I've never seen so many happy little girls walk out of that store in my entire life. She'll love it!

I took my niece when she was 3 and she could ride alot of the rides she is now almost 6 and remembers alot about our trip and can't wait to go back in 2007. My sons first trip was when he was 4 and he remembers everything too. The only things your daughter will not be able to do is the roller coaster and thrill rides but if you go on the disneyworld.com and check out the rides and attractions you will see there is alot of things that does not have a height requirement. She will love meeting the princesses. My son is now 6 almost 7 and we went in April and he could ride every ride they have because the height requirement on the rides are not that much and he had a ball. September is a great time to go kids are back in school and the lines will be alot shorter. I hope this helps and have a magical trip.

wait a few more years, hard as that may sound...if you are going to waste all that money, waiting in line all day, it might as well be with a kid old enough not to whine about it. We took our kids a while back, they were 4 and 6...bad idea, doesn't matter when you go, lines are ALWAYS bad, like 1/2 hour to 45 minutes in the off season, when we went. The kids don't have the ability to stay still for that long, and really shouldn't have to. There are a lot of rides for little kids, but my 6 year old was very sad, he couldn't go on many of the "theme" rides, targeted for his age group, you have to be like 48 inches tall, and he was just 46 or something like that. I say just wait, take her to a childrens museum, or some amusement park a bit more local, you will get an idea of what they (including Disney) have to offer for your little one.

She is not too young to appreciate it. There is lots and lots to do and see for a four-year-old. Disney World is very small-child-friendly.
However, I would recommend waiting for this reason: The sheer size and scope of the Disney parks in Florida means that with a four-year-old along you will only get to do and see a fraction of what you could cover with an older child. My husband and I have spent a total of twenty-four days at Disneyworld in the last six years and still have not seen or done it all. Wait until your daughter is older and you will be able to see and do much more. Disney World is not cheap, at any season. Get your money's worth.

We just came back from Disney with our 5 year old twins and had a great time. But I say you might want to wait one more year before you go. At 5 there were enough things for them to keep them busy and entertained but also a lot of things that they were frightened by. Had we gone a year earlier, I don't think they would have gotten as much out of the trip as they did.
Regardless of when you go, get your hands on the "Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World" at your local bookstore. Going to Disney with little ones is best done with a fair amount of planning ahead of time. This book is filled with time and money saving ideas that really work.

She is to young to remember any of it, small children don't start retaining info until about 6 yrs old anything before that is a blur. Disney is fun but the rates are not cheap by any streach of the imagination no matter what time of year it is keep your eye on specials and package deals.

She will love it! Just don't overdo it by staying at the park too long every day, (hoping to get your money's worth) It is no fun once the kids get cranky.
If you stay on Disney property, you can always go back to your resort room for naps and return later in the day.
There are things there geared to ALL different ages. And when you want to go on the "non-kiddie" rides, you can do child-swap. you all go through the line together, at the ride, one of you goes and one stays with the small child. After the first person gets off the ride, you "swap" and don't have to stand in line again.
