    I have a 5 year old son and will be at Disney World for 2 days. Which 2 parks should we go to?

    Hi Leigh!

    Thank you for sending in your question to the Walt Disney World Moms Panel!

    You will definitely want to visit the Magic Kingdom for sure.  That is the crown jewel of Walt Disney World, and in my opinion, the crown jewel of the theme park industry.  It has the most attractions for young children, and it is the favorite park of many guests of all ages.  For example, it is my favorite park at Walt Disney World. 

    Some families can easily spend two days or more just in the Magic Kingdom.  However, I suggest experiencing another park on your second day.  I suggest visiting Disney's Hollywood Studios or Disney's Animal Kingdom.  Both have a lot of appeal, in general, for young children.  A good compromise, however,  might be to visit one of those parks on the second day and then to park hop back to the Magic Kingdom.

    It is not an easy decision!  Good luck and please write back with more questions!
