Epcot or HS with the littles?

[DisneyMom2000000]

I have a 2.5 year old and a 4 month old... going to Disney next month. Obviously this trip is more about the 2.5 year old.

If you have children or have taken children of this age, would you plan to spend more time at HS or Epcot? Which is a better early morning park? Is Toy Story too much for a 2.5 year old?

We will be in Disney World for 4 full days.. plan on 2 days at MK, 1 at AK, and 1 at Epcot/HS.

I would do Hollywood studios at that age. They have Disney junior. I have taken my oldest son at 16 months, 2 1/2, and almost 4. His favorite things are breakfast at Hollywood and vine with the Disney junior characters and Fantasmic. He got bored pretty quickly at epcot. The only thing he liked there was the nemo ride and aquarium.

Also, please feel free to pass on tips after your trip. We are going in October. Our boys will be almost 6 and almost 2, and our new baby girl will be about 3 months. So it will be our first time with a baby and first time with more than one child.

We are planning to do both for now. I have an 8 year old and a 4 year old to entertain. I haven't told the 4 year old about the new Frozen ride at Epcot - so if we need to have a "down" day, Epcot will be the first to go. We have to do HS because the 8 yr old wants to do Jeddi Training Academy and the 4 yr old will love all the shows.

We went last year when my son was 2.5. He loved both parks but the thing he STILL talks about is the Disney Jr. Live on Stage show in HS. It was his favorite thing from the trip. He was completely mesmerized. Toy Story wasn't too much at all for him but I had my arm around him because it's a bit bumpy when the cart turns. Nothing scary at all though.
