With children the ages you listed I would do both days at MK. MGM just does not have the fun rides for the little ones that Mk does. Sure there is Playhouse Disney and the Voyage of the Little Mermaid and Muppet Vision, but they just don't compare to Fantasyland!

I would do both days at MK. It would allow plenty of time for both kids to explore. There is so much to do that it all can't be done in two days anyway.

I hope they have a great time. :cool1:

MGM is by far my family's favorite park! However ---- a lot of what we like about MGM is the thrill of TOT and RnR. So, for your kids, I'd think that the MK for both days would work the best.

thanks for the quick replys ,Im looking forward to going as much as the kids are.I can also add another Disney day if we want.

I would also vote for a second day at MK. We have small children (20 mos. and 4 yrs) and found MGM to be our least favorite park. AK was our 2nd favorite (behind MK of course). I would consider taking the kids there if you wanted a little variety!

Have you considered gettins a park hopper and doing a day and a half at MK and half a day at MGM?

That would give you enough time to hit the places they'd like at MGM and you'd get to see it. It's my favorite park. The theming is great.

Definately 2 days at MK. We were there in Sept (slow season) with our dd4 & dd11 mo & we did 3 days at MK which wazs just right. You'll probably spend most of your time in Fantasyland, Tomorrowland & Toontown. If you think dd4 can do it, you can do HM (my dd4, who is very brave, was a bit nervous at 1st but sat with daddy & did just fine) in Liberty Square. You can also do PotC, Aladdin, Jungle Cruise (one of dd's faves) & BTMRR. Maybe Splash if you think she is daring enough. It was broken down when we were there

so I guess we'll do it next time. Maybe the 18 mo old would like to play at Tom Sawyers playground area for a nice break. The parades are fun as are the shows (Cindy's Surprise Celebration - great, Belle's Story Time & Sword in the Stone). Wishes is the best!! CP would be a fun character meal for both kids.
Anyway, do both days at MK. Then you can plan a future trip to hit the other parks!! EPCOT actually turned out to be our best day so we'll spend more time there next time!!
