Hi Laci,
Thanks for visiting Disney Parks Moms Panel.
When our little guy was the age of your little ones, we enjoyed each of the Walt Disney World theme parks and have lots of memories we cherish from those visits. The parades and character experiences were especially fun for him at those ages. One suggestion is to check out the
Online Planning Videos because they help you get a great feel for how to build an itinerary that best fits your family — and they're fun to watch! You'll get an overview of all the magic that awaits you in each of the parks.
I always feel a visit to Magic Kingdom is a must-do for a Walt Disney World vacation, so I'm happy to hear it's in your plans. And I can definitely understand feeling torn between
Disney's Hollywood Studios and
Disney's Animal Kingdom. If you're limited to 2 theme park days, and if you're looking at full park days rather than the Park Hopper Option, I would personally plan on Magic Kingdom and Disney's Animal Kingdom. I think you'll find Disney's Animal Kingdom offers
attractions and
character experiences and
entertainment that your little adventurers will enjoy. We have so many favorites, including Festival of the Lion King, Finding Nemo - The Musical, Kilimanjaro Safaris, and all the wildlife adventures and animal encounters.
Laci, here's wishing you a wonderful Walt Disney World vacation!
Jerry
