It depends on the kid. I took DS when he was 3 for the first time. He did ok but he was still napping 3-4 solid hours from 12-4 pm. He was a VERY active kid and if he didn't get that sleep we would all pay. It was a PIA to sit in the room for 4 hours everyday and stop our day (we are midday break people but we do our breaks at the pool, not napping). He was also easily over stimulated. I think we only did one or two days in MK and then spent most of our time at the water parks.
We took him back when he was 8 and DD was 2. DD wasn't a napper anymore so we did midday breaks by the pool or no breaks at all since park hours were shorter that trip. She was much more relaxed and went with the flow. But I found doing the stroller, diaper bag, changing diapers in the park, etc. to be a pain too.
We've made more trips after when they were 9 and 3, 11 and 5, 15 and 9. If I could do it over again I would have taken each of them for the first time when they were 4.5-5.5 years old. No stroller, no diapers, no bags, etc.
