Greetings, Chalisse!
Hooray! How wonderful to be planning your first ever Walt Disney World Resort vacation and with such fun ages! I'm so happy you've stopped by the Disney Parks Moms Panel to ask us your question. You are going to have the BEST. TRIP. EVER.
It wasn't too long ago that my little ones were that age, exploring the wonder and living their dreams. There are so many incredible experiences, but I'll try to narrow it down to just a few of my favorites. As toddlers my little ones were super excited to meet their favorite pals, until the moment actually came and those larger than life friends made them just a bit shy and nervous. My first suggestion is to plan a
Character Dining Experience at one of the many dining locations with some of your favorite characters. This allows the kiddos to take a little time to warm up to their friends, fill up on delicious food and get those great big smiles ready for the perfect photo. At Magic Kingdom, you can't miss taking a ride on Dumbo the Flying Elephant - bonus: there is an awesome play area inside the queue that is perfect for kids and adults to take a break. At Epcot, you'll want to make sure to visit The Seas with Nemo & Friends. The ride is adorable and my children love spending time after, watching all the creatures inside the gigantic, 5.7-million-gallon saltwater aquarium. At Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, make sure you travel to Pandora - The World of Avatar! The little ones will love the vibrant colors and drifting through the bioluminescent forest on Na'vi River Journey.
Have an amazing vacation, Chalisse. There are plenty of other experiences and attractions the whole family will adore, so if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to come back and ask.
Magical Wishes,
Lauren
