    What are the best rides/attractions/events in Disneyworld for a 2 and 3 year old?

    Hiya, Courtney! There is nothing more magical than seeing Walt Disney World Resort through the eyes of a little Mouseketeer! I am so excited for you and your trip. 

    Let's begin in Magic Kingdom Park, which is home to many iconic attractions. Starting with the view of Cinderella Castle, the enchantment begins before you even enter the park. In Fantasyland, you can ride the Prince Charming Regal Carousel and dance in your seat along with your favorite Disney movie soundtrack at Disney's PhilharMagic. You can go on the happiest ship that ever sailed on "it's a small world." Life is the bubbles here, too. You can enjoy Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid and meet Ariel in her grotto. You can also meet Cinderella and some of her tiaraed friends at Princess Fairytale Hall. 

    If it's an adventure your after, your little ones can take flight on Dumbo, Astro Orbiter and The Magic Carpets of Aladdin. If they are 32" or taller, they can go for a ride on the Tomorrowland Speedway. Of course, they'll love going for a spin at the Mad Tea Party and chasing Heffalumps and Woozles on a very blustery day at The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

    The Happily Ever After fireworks and the Festival of Fantasy parade will have them captivated by the characters, stories and songs they love, shared on the grandest stage. And even though I am terrified of parrots, my kids have taught me to love The Enchanted Tiki Room. No trip is complete without this magical show "where the birds sing words and the flowers croon."

    At EPCOT, my kids could spend hours playing in Bruce's Shark World and watching the amazing sea creatures in the aquarium. Your kids can enjoy riding The Seas with Nemo and Friends and meeting our favorite turtle dude at Turtle Talk with Crush. He's awesome! Cha! In the World Showcase, there is the Gran Fiesta Tour Featuring the Three Caballeros. Anything with Donald Duck has my heart! You will also find Frozen Ever After for a fun adventure through Arandelle. 

    If you are headed to Disney's Hollywood Studios, your little ones will love Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. Here, they can enjoy sing alongs and meet so many characters. If they are animal lovers, just strolling around Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park is thrilling. They can enjoy Kilimanjaro Safaris and delight in watching the tumbling monkeys at the Festival of the Lion King. 

    If you want to explore options, you can see the attractions ideal for preschoolers. You can also add filters based on their interests and the theme park you are visiting.

    I also recommend checking out the Planning Guide for Parents of Preschoolers & Small Children. It includes fantastic information on attractions, dining, character greetings and making the most of your time at Walt Disney World.

    If you have any other questions as you plan your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth, you have a friend in planDisney!

    As Pooh says, "Sometimes the smallest things take the most room in your heart."

    Happiest Wishes for Your Time with Little Ones!
