People are apprehensive when taking 2-4 years old to Orlando but there is somuch to do and although they may not remember everything when they are older,the looks on their faces and the photos are such memories that they must not bemissed. Hire the buggies available at all parks so if they do get tired, theycan have a lie down, it is a long day of walking for them otherwise. There isnothing worse for everyone than a tired toddler who needs a sleep. Don’t forgetthe shade for your own buggies too. Take a cool bag with their favourite drinksin, we often freeze water or fruit juices in the freezer in the villa and thenthey melt nicely during the day. Our kids used to love the characters as toddlers (still do I suppose) so Magic Kingdom was our first stop. Such a lot of characters here but most ofall MICKEY! So off to Toontown Fair and stop by his house andthen get the photo of Mickey in his famous red jacket and black trousers. As you enter Mickey's home, be on the lookout for all the "mouse-ified"details: the coat rack, the mirror. And check out who Mickey’s been sent lettersfrom on his hall table -- Buzz Lightyear, Ariel, even Wendy and Peter Pan! Keepon going thru all his rooms and you will see All Things Mickey. Toontown Fairis busiest in the early morning, but traffic flows fairly smoothly throughMickey's House. Allow 15-20 minutes to walk through. You'll have to wait alittle longer to see Mickey though - we have waited up to 45minutes before nowand the little ones found that hard. You can bypass the sights in the houseand exit the back door, then follow the path to the Judge's Tent, in whichMickey greets guests most of the day. However, if you are going to Hollywood Studios, Mickeyis always there in his Sorcerers uniform and the queues for him here are notgreat. Also, at Animal Kingdom, he is always about in Camp Minnie Mickey in hissafari gear. Opposite Mickey’s house is a small play area with slides etc. Make sure you take the little one’s swimming gear, there are lots of waterfountains/water fun areas the parks. Aerial's area is fantastic so while youqueue for the all important photo of Little Mermaid, the kids have a greattime. Remember to reapply the sun cream afterwards. Don’t miss the Share a Dream Come True Parade and Cinderella’sCastle often has shows during the day, the music will even give yougoosebumps! Definitely go to Fantasyland and take them on the It's a SmallWorld (at time of writing this is in rehab until late 2004). Take them on Cinderella's Golden Carrousel and Dumbo The Flying Elephant. ForWinnie the Pooh fans there is a colourful sedate ride for them to enjoy. Off now to Frontierland and Goofys Dancing Jamboree where kidscan get up and dance and even get involved in the show. County Bear Jamboreeis a little dated but daft huge bears will keep them entertained. Toddlers and adults alike will enjoy Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spinat Tomorrowland – take a look at the photo outside and see the intensityon Dad’s face! Tomorrowland Transit Authority is not usually busy and isa welcome sit down and leisurely ride. Story time with Belle as you enter Tomorrowland near the base of the Castle takes place a few times a day –check the site maps/planner. The above will definitely take a day, but you can go back to the villa midafternoon to have a nap or swim and then return to the park in the evening butthe fireworks whilst amazing, may frighten little ones as they are noisy. We have been visiting Florida for over 15 years and always encompass a visitto Magic Kingdom – it really is the heart of Disney! Page added on: 21 July 2004
