DHS with Toddler?

[lilmape]

What do you do with your toddler at Hollywood studios? My hubby and I have been before so we aren't concerned with riding anything. We've had our fun and will again one day when the kids are older. We are planning our daughter's first trip to Disney and I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do with her there except Osborne's lights (December trip). Thank you in advance for suggestions! Ay suggestions for Epcot are also appreciated. I've found more there so far and lots at AK and MK.

My toddlers always LOVED Playhouse Junior. They also liked Toy Story Midway Mania, Little Mermaid show, Beauty and the Beast show, meeting the Disney Junior characters. We've never done Honey I Shrunk the Kids but I'm sure they would have liked that too.

Thank you! DD seems to enjoy little einsteins and Mickey the most but we have plenty of time for that to change.

All of these. Our daughter really enjoyed all of them. Plus, our DD at 2 LOVED characters. There are also many meet and greets there. A toddler can also go on the Great Movie Ride (which our DD liked), the Muppets, which she liked, and the Backlot Tour (which our DD was not interested in at all). I could not wait to get off that tram either.

Epcot: the Seas with Nemo (our DD loved this). She also liked checking out the Living Seas. She really enjoyed the Figment ride and the Mexico boat ride. There are many meet and greets around the WS. A toddler can also ride Spaceship Earth (our DD found this ok) and Malestorm (our DD was a bit scared of the trolls). She also really enjoyed coloring the Duffy and getting it stamped in each country. A toddler can also go on the Universe of Energy, but we didn't do that given the length of that attraction. Another thing our daughter really enjoyed was playing the fountain, but you may not be able to do that in December. In Dec., you will be able to meet Santas from each country. We went in Nov. last year. DD was 2 1/2 and she enjoyed that.

My daughter was almost 3 when we went. We spent half a day there and pretty quickly ran out of things she could do. We rode TSM but she was too little to operate the gun. Muppets was closed for rehab unfortunately or we would have done that. She liked the Disney Junior Live show and the Beauty and the Beast show. She loved the HISTK play area but it made me really nervous because I couldn't really follow her or keep an eye on her. I stood near the exit to make sure she didn't leave the area but I was relieved when we finally dragged her out of there. She enjoyed meeting Mike and Sully. I think that's all we did there!

Also, I would get a breakfast or lunch ADR for the play and dine at Hollywood and Vine. We have done that one every time we go, and my kids love it!
