Hi Stephanie,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Mickey and Minnie Mouse are so pleased that you are coming to visit them at the Walt Disney World Resort!
I would first suggest that you review the
Planning for Pre-School Kids and Little Ones Guide. It provides wonderful information for visiting the parks with young children. In particular, you might find the
Rides and Attractions list for little ones especially helpful. Be sure to check the height requirements. When our girls were younger, they enjoyed Dumbo the Flying Elephant, The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Tomorrowland Speedway, Peter Pan's Flight, Kilimanjaro Safaris, The Festival of the Lion King, and Toy Story Mania!.
You are wise to inquire about
Character Meals! These provide the perfect opportunity for your toddler to interact with characters without the long lines. Some of our favorite character meals are
Chef Mickey's with Mickey Mouse and Friends,
Crystal Palace with Winnie the Pooh and Friends,
Hollywood & Vine with Disney Junior characters (breakfast and lunch), and
Cinderella's Royal Table with select princesses.
Be sure to make dining reservations!
Sending pixie dust your way as you plan the most magical trip!
