Magic kingdom is a must. Character breakfasts are best since they are early in day. Are u staying on site?

I second MK. I made sure we found a reason to take the Ferry (Sounds silly but oh the view). I did character dining in Epcot and MK. I also did the drive in at Hollywood studios so she could ‘sit’ in a car and eat. It was so much fun. She loved the shows at Hollywood Studios, actually enjoyed all the music in Epcot. She fell asleep listening to the Japanese drums, she had fun watching others get pearls there too. One of the Japanese drummers was a candy puller too, so AJ watched for a long while. The Beatles-like band in England was a hit, listening to the drums in America, the dresses in Mexico and meeting Jasmine and Aladdin of course! Taking the boat in Epcot was fun too.
I was surprised how much she liked Epcot. Best place we ate there was the Corral Reef one. OMG so so SOOO good and we got seated right next to the tank and she could watch the Turtle through lunch. Watching the Nemo stuff there was a giggle for her.
So our top three were Magic Kingdom, Epcot then Hollywood Studios. Animal Kingdom was a far far 4th but the loved the ‘sand’ pit they had with slides and stuff. Never got a chance to get her on a safari, so that may be why I feel it was ‘meh’ for her.
Can’t wait to take her back to Disney World!

Re: If you've been to Disney with kids..
We are going next week - we have a 17 month old DD, and my sister and her husband have a 1 year old DS and a 2 1/2 year old DD. We're doing each park and two days at the Magic Kingdom. We are doing the Princess breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table in MK - we did it without kids and loved it! We are doing a special buffet lunch at HS that is with Disney JR characters. We also have dinner planned at Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary. We can't wait!

Re: If you've been to Disney with kids..
Is 3 a good age? I don't know if younger is 'better' but 3 was GREAT. Being potty trained etc made things easy.
But more importantly under 3 or if they turn 3 there  they are free to the parks free to eat and buffet meals. Saved us a TON

Re: If you've been to Disney with kids..
we took ds at 2 1/2 he loved it....
Magic Kingdom, tried the monorail and the ferry.
Epcot- I think is better on the older kids. Ds still had fun though seeing the trains in germany.

Re: If you've been to Disney with kids..
I've never brought kids (my baby is only about 6 months old!) but I actually used to work at Disney, so if you have any specific questions I might be able to help. I can't wait to bring my little girl!

Re: If you've been to Disney with kids..
We loved Hollywood studios..Disney jr and Pixar is big there
If you have a girl..the princess character breakfast in epcot Is just as good as the one in the castle (IMO) and a lot cheaper
