Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel Lori!
Two days at the Magic Kingdom and a day at Animal Kingdom sounds wonderful! Be sure to catch the Festival of the Lion King at Animal Kingdom. The Tumble Monkeys are awesome!
You will find more of the Disney Junior characters at Disney's Hollywood Studios but you will find some at Magic Kingdom as well (although they appear dressed a little different):
* Mickey appears dressed as a Magician in Town Square Theater
* Goofy appears as the Great Goofini at Pete's Silly Sideshow in the Storybook Circus
* Donald Duck appears as the Amazing Donaldo at Pete's Silly Sideshow in the Storybook Circus
* Daisy appears as Daisy Fortuna (fortune teller) at Pete's Silly Sideshow in the Storybook Circus
* Minnie appears as Minnie Magnifique (poodle trainer) at Pete's Silly Sideshow in the Storybook Circus
* Pluto - you can often find him in Town Square as you enter the Magic Kingdom
I have 2 boys as well and they love meeting Buzz Lightyear (Tomorrowland); Gaston (Fantasyland); Chip and Dale (Frontierland); Woody (Frontierland); Jessie (Frontierland); Winnie the Pooh & Tigger (near the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh). Be sure to check your Times Guide as you enter the park for appearance times on the day of your visit.
Be sure to catch the
Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It! Street Party. Its a great way for kids to dance in the street with some of their favorite characters.
Please feel free to visit with all of your questions. We're hEAR for you!
Wishing you minnie magical memories :-) Alison V.
