Hey there, hi there, ho there, Marissa! You're as welcome as can be here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I'm so excited for you to take your little one on her first Walt Disney World Resort trip! There's nothing like experiencing the magic of Disney through the eyes of your children. My little guy has been a regular Walt Disney World visitor since he was a baby, and I honestly think I've enjoyed it every bit as much as he has.
Ok, first things first. We need to get some rides on your must-do list! Check out the list of
Walt Disney World attractions for Guests of "Any Height." You may be surprised at all the things there are to do, even for the youngest children. You can narrow down the list even further if you filter by Theme Park to help you plan your Disney days.
For your little Mouseketeer, I definitely suggest the
Disney Junior Dance Party! at Disney's Hollywood Studios. She can dance with Disney Junior pals like Vampirina and Doc McStuffins, as well as Mickey himself in his Roadster Racers gear!
You'll also want to check out shows like
Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire and the
Move It! Shake It! Mousekedance It! Street Party in the Magic Kingdom Park, and of course, the
Festival of Fantasy Parade. Mickey and Minnie make a grand entrance at the end of the parade that your little girl will love!
Plus, you can
get hugs from Mickey and his pals at meet-and-greets or
character meals throughout the Parks and in Resort hotels.
Marissa, there are so many fun things to see and do with your daughter that I can't list them all! Fortunately, Disney created a super helpful
planning guide for parents of preschoolers that has lots of ideas for fun with little ones.
I hope this helps you plan a truly magical visit to Walt Disney World for your family, Marissa. Please come by again if you have any more questions. We love to help! And now, as Mickey would say..."See ya real soon!"
Keep Disney Dreaming,
Kathy K.
