    I wanted to know which parks have the most amount of rides available for his age (4)/size (42"). & what the expected wait times are? Im wondering if I should wait until he is a bit older. I can't see him patiently waiting for over 30 minutes for

    Hello Jayne and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
    My youngest daughter was four the first time we went to the Walt Disney World Resort and I can assure you that with planning your son with have a magical time. But, do you know who will have a better time? YOU! There is nothing better than seeing the Disney Parks through the eyes of a child. Every park has attractions designed for the young and young at heart. However, in my opinion, the Magic Kingdom is the best park for a child of your son's age and stature.

    As for wait times, they are highly dependent on the time of year you go. There are a number of websites with fairly accurate crowd calendars. I would recommend either easywdw.com or touringplans.com.  Also, if you are intent on reducing your wait times I suggest you get a copy of the book "The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World." It is filled with a ton of great information and includes touring plans designed to reduce your wait times.

    Here is something else to consider- many of the attractions at the Magic Kingdom have amazing interactive waiting areas. Our favorite is Dumbo the Flying Elephant. This attraction provides a buzzer much like you would receive at a restaurant while waiting for a table. Then, you and your little one can enjoy the immense indoor playground while waiting for your flight.

    I hope this helps with your planning.

    See ya real soon!
