Depends on age of the child.
Heâll never forget 
If you trust her completely without doubt, I see no harm. If you have some worry, go with your gut. Some parents and grandparents arenât that responsible. Disney world Is huge.

Do you trust her? I trusted my mother more than anyone and I let her take my kids wherever whenever.
Personally I wouldnât being that hes so young⊠especially Disney being those major wish list trips for kids. I would certainly want to be there. it all depends on your relationship with your mom and how responsible she is. Are you able to go?

Why does Grandma want to take the child WITHOUT YOU? That doesnât pass the sniff test to me. Your child deserves to make DisneyWorld memories WITH you too. Everyone goes or no go.

The fact that you are questioning whether the child should go or not makes me think there is a trust issue of some sort with your mother? If there is not a good reason, I would let him go ⊠they must have a special bond if she wants to do something like that. My children donât have Grandparents and never did. It would also give you some âmeâ time.
If sheâs a good grandma that will take good care of him I would say yes. The only problem I see is that a child that young may get homesick and have a hard time being away from you. My son is very close to his grandparents and had a hard time being away from me for a week. He wanted me to come get him and I couldnât. They usually are fine while they are busy but nights are tough!
Was she a good mother? Did she take care of you? Did she ever lose you? If the answers are yes, yes, and no, let the child enjoy the vacation with grandma.

My parents took my daughter out of state and country when she was 3. I trust my parents explicitly. Was it easy? Hell no! Now, I love Disney so I wouldnât have let my mom take her without me to Disney for the first time.
At the end of the day, youâre his mama and itâs up to you. If you have a gut feeling, I say go with it. If you think it might just be some nervous jitters about your baby being away from you, thatâs normal, but itâs up to you. Donât let anyone guilt trip you with âshes your mom why not let him go?â, âits a once in a lifetime chanceâ, blah blah blah.
Because we do not know you or your family or anything in between and what is okay for one person, may not be for another.

Unless you have knowledge of her wanting to take her take her then no⊠Otherwise why not?
Im a grandma that lives with my daughter and her child. I would not take my grand baby without Mom. However, if the child was a teen and we were going in a group I would consider it, but it seems unfair.
When my daughter was young my parents took her to Disneyland and she had a great time. I donât see a problem with it
I mean why notâŠshe raised you and you turned out okay right?!
I had this come up once. The fact that is even a question to me means you should be safe, rather than sorry.

Glad my kids would never question me taking my grandkids anywhere , They know I love them to pieces and would never let anything go wrong ⊠js
Why would you not want him to go? Besides the fact your going to miss him. My mom has taken my kids out of state. We as mothers need a break too. And your mom is probably just trying to give you one, and at the same time give your son an amazing memory.
I feel to much is left out of this to even begin to make a statement on whether or not the child should go with or without you.

My grandma and grandpa took me and my sister to Disney before we all went as a big family. I was really young, but I recall a few beautiful memories when I see pictures of the trip. Also anytime someone wants to take your child and give you a break I say run with it lol
Why wouldnât you? Are there trust issues?

You should be there to enjoy that special time with him. Not just your mother.

I know this may sound a little off the wall BUT! Just for piece of mind compose a letter saying you are allowing the grandmother to take your child out of state. Have it notarized. This was some legal advise given to a friend of mine. Too me it made great sense because of all thatâs going on with child abductions.

I had same issue with my daughter I ended up taking her with Had she had to work I still wouldv taken grandchild Let child goâŠ
It would be a wonderful experience for a little one. I would let my mom take my children anytime. As the others have stated enclose a note proving she is allowed to go and maybe a copy of her birth certificate Just to be on the safe side.
I went everywhere with my grandparents.
As long as your on good terms (which you seem to be) then why not?

I just came back from Disney with my 3yr old Grand and my daughter didnât blink when I told her I wanted to take my grand daughter with me on vaca. My daughter knew my grand daughter would be very well taken care of and it would mean the world to me to share that special time to bond with my grand daughter. My daughter would NEVER question if it would be ok for me (grandma) to take my grand daughter anywhere.
Do you trust her? If soâŠI say yes.

Yes let her go I let my boys go on a long vacation last summer with my mom they left Michigan an went to Florida. They was gone a month I cried when they left but I really needed the break an I missed them like crazy but I talked to them every day.
Do what is best for your child. Try not to be selfish and let him enjoy. I speak from experience lol. I used to hate to let my kids go without me, but they only suffered due to my selfishness of their time.
Let them go make memories.
If youâre worried, put a hedge of thorns around them. Theyâre going to have so much fun.
I would 100% let my Mama, apparently there are reasons to even have to ask such a questionâŠ
Iâd let my parents take my children out of the state to do whatever. I had no problem with it at all even if aunt and Uncle is wanted to have them their family
If you trust her with your childâs well being then yes

I think you may just be experiencing some seperation anxiety and heâs young. I felt the same when my older son was about that age and my dad wanted to take him on a trip. But I let him because thereâs some things my dad can afford to do with him that at the time I couldnât. Didnât want him to miss out because of me. He came back just fine. But every mom has to make her own decisions. I couldnât go cuz of work, Iâm guessing it may be the same for you. No shame in that.
Yes. I assume you trust your mom and are torn for more reasons than just the obvious of being a cautious and concerned parent.
I was in a similar situation as a child and my father I love my grandmother to take us to Disney WorldâŠit was something he couldnât give us bc he worked, had bills, etc. He later took my daughter to DisneyâŠwhen he could, while I worked, etc. It was a special memory for a grandparent and grandchild. Something I cherished as did my daughter. I took her when she was a bit older and we made our own memories. Let them have it because grandparents will not be around forever and this is a special memory that will be
what is the issueâŠwhy ask on F.B.?? You know your own momâŠperhaps she⊠over refreshes ??
Yes let her have fun
Yes I just took my grandson on a trip.
Donât do it! Youâre torn and that doubt is enough for you to say no.

Wow why would this even be an issue!?? Your still alive!! Smh
Why would you have to ask that question that is your mom? You know the woman she is it would have to be a reason that you are having doubts about YOUR Mom taking her grandchild. anyway I pray things work out
I donât see an issue. As a mom youâre going to have to realize, you will miss stuff. And thatâs okay. That will be an experience for him. My mom hated me but I allowed her to take my oldest from Kansas all the way to Corpis Christi for a couple of weeks.
Oh my God let the baby go to Disney world
No thats weird as hell. If she is specifically asking you to leave your child and doesnât want you going then I doubt sheâs taking him/her to Disney. Sounds like sheâs taking them and not coming back.

Sorry but thereâs not enough info to really answer. Like why are you feeling iffy about your mom taking your child?
Is she older and not capable?
Is she capable but you donât trust her?
I have a wonderful relationship with my mom but after her car accident sheâs not the same so therefore I donât let her take my 3 yr old as much as before because of that. My older boys definitely cuz theyâre 10/11 and theyâre independent.
But I think you answered your own question. Donât doubt yourself
If you trust her to keep him safe and happy and cared for while they are in vacation, then yes. Absolutely. I let my kid go with her grandparents from MN to Wyoming to see family for two weeks or so. All depends on if you trust them enough or not. They can always call you while they are gone and check in
I see no problem with it as long as you trust her judgment and know sheâs not going to harm your child. I see no problem with it
I wish my mom would offer to take my kids out of town for a few days lol
My mom id let him go she raised me very over protective. Has she your mom shown you not to be watchful of your son before?
Really depends on so many things. Many questions, and to have to ask on FB to strangers answers some of them. No no and no
Let the child go, its memories that they will never forget! Are you torn or jealous that she wants to take your child and youâre not?
You donât trust your mom!? I let mine go Everywhere when she was that age. And she spent every summer in Louisiana with her other grandparents. Wonderful memories. Donât deny her/themđAnd I was divorced. My in-laws still love međ
Definitely let him go. Itâs every kids dream to go to Disney World and that might be the only chance he gets to go. You should take that offer because he would be a happy camper. 
Thereâs seems to be an elephant in the room. Thereâs the question as to why sheâs torn? Did grandma tell mom she was taking her son or did she ask if she could take him? Is it because sheâs not invited and wanted to her child to Disney World? Or is it only because she wasnât invited? Or perhaps she feels that her mother is trying to replace her?
Maybe her son is closer to grandma than mom? Does her mother overshadow her parenting? In other words, does her mother, feel that sheâs not a good parent and goes against the way she parents her son? Thereâs a lot of factors to consider. I for one, would not have hesitated if my parents wanted to take my children out-of-state without me. It depends on the mother and daughter relationship. It also depends on whether grandma is responsible.

Thats a very special occasion! Unless your mother is not fit to be alone with your child, I see no reason not to let them go.
This is a personal decision and it really has nothing to do with the care your mother would give but are you comfortable with it. I let mine go much earlier than that but my daughter is not comfortable with her son being taken to far away without her. I respect that I know itâs not because she doesnât trust me
Let her go have fun with your mom and just relax while sheâs gone
Absolutely, my mom has traveled with my kids when they were young many times. Iâd never denied either one this opportunity.

I dont think a 4 year old is near old enough for Disney world! My daughter was 5 amd remember nothing! She was also barely tall enough to ride anything
Itâs ultimately your decision. If you really donât feel comfortable with it, perhaps discuss it with your Mom.

Is disney somthing youâll be able to do with your child in the future? If not and you trust your mother to care for your child. Absolutely Yes. When my third was born my inlaws asked to take my older kids on a camping trip several hours from home. I let them go because I know my inlaws would take care of my kids and it was a experience I dint know if I would ever be able to give them. I missed thwm but they had a great time and made awesome memories with grandma and papa

Clearification question:
- Is the childs other parent ok with the child crossing statelines with out one of you present?
- do you trust your mother with your child?
- can you go? afford for all 3 of you to go?
She took care of you right? Then she will be with ur child
