Welcome to planDisney, Keri!
I'm so glad that you've chosen to be our Guest. I love nothing more than taking my little Mouseketeers to Walt Disney World Resort. Experiencing and enjoying the magic through their eyes is a uniquely memorable joy. There's
so much for little ones to do during your Disney adventure.
And here's some fabulous news: Mousketeers under the age of 3 are considered "Guests of Mickey" and, therefore, don't need a Theme Park ticket! Oh boy! How great is that?
Tickets for kids aged 3-9 are slightly cheaper than adult tickets. For example, as I type these words, a 1-Day ticket to Magic Kingdom Park on Wednesday, July 6 for 3-9 year-olds costs $124 compared to $129 for those aged 10+ (subject to change).
Keri, let me highlight a few great things to do with your Mousketeer. Magic Kingdom Park is my favorite park for kiddos. Make sure you make time to watch the Festival of Fantasy Parade. There are also many kid-friendly attractions, like "it's a small world," Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Jungle Cruise, Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid, and Peter Pan's Flight.
Disney's Animal Kingdom is wild, beautiful, and fun. "The wilderness must be explored!" I'm sure your Mouseketeer will love
Kilimanjaro Safaris (mine certainly does!),
A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King, and the wonderful
Disney KiteTails. EPCOT is also great for young kids, with attractions such as
Frozen Ever After, Journey Into Imagination With Figment, and The Seas With Nemo & Friends. There is less for little kids to do at Disney's Hollywood Studios (it's honestly my least favorite park for kids). However, my little ones loved Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy and Disney Junior Play and Dance.
One final thing I want to highlight is the
Baby Care Centers in each of the four Theme Parks. These are convenient (and air-conditioned!) places to change diapers, feed your Wilderness Explorer, or even just take a break from all the noise and stimulation.
I hope that's helpful, Keri. Have a magical trip!
Mike
