We'd only do Disney every other year when our kids were little. We had a limited amount of time with them when they were young, and a world to show them. In addition to Disney, we cruised, went to Mexico, Europe, Hawaii, Washington DC and San Francisco - and a lot of other more local trips.
We did pull them from school during elementary - they had a fall break of two days, so we'd pull them for three and get a week. That became not possible by middle school due to the pace of school and activity schedules (i.e. if you want a role in the school play, you need to be at rehearsals over break, and teachers were NOT required to give make up tests for vacations nor were teachers required to let you make up homework, or provide homework for you to do on vacation - so pulling kids meant going from an A to a B in a lot of classes) - and by high school was REALLY not possible - by high school getting them to have a week to vacation at any time was hard - during school breaks they had jobs or activities that they participated in.
