Hi Shoshana, How exciting that you will be visiting Walt Disney World! Your trip will be here before you know it! Yes, there are indeed areas for your 16 month old to stretch his legs! I remember very well needing to let my toddlers out of the stroller for a bit to get some energy out! In Magic Kingdom, there is a small area under the bridge near the Splash Mountain attraction that has a soft sided playground for small children to play. It has a small slide there.There is a whimsical interactive play area while you are waiting in the queue for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh attraction.This is a fun new addition to a very popular attraction! At Hollywood Studios, there is
"Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" Movie Set Adventure, a colossal 11,000 square foot play area for little ones and preschoolers. Also at Hollywood Studios, you will want to check out
Disney Junior - Live on Stage for your little one. This interactive show features many of the characters from the Disney Junior television channel. Be sure to pick up a park map and times guide for daily show times for this popular attraction! At Animal Kingdom park, there is
The Boneyard, which is a sprawling area for children to explore. At Epcot, if weather permits, there is an area featuring water jets that kids love to play in! I have taken my young children to Walt Disney World at your son's exact age and they were mesmerized by all the attractions and shows. I am sure he is going to love the magic of Disney! I hope you have a most magical Walt Disney World vacation and create lasting memories! :-) Jodie
