First Disney Trip must do with little ones??

[Thesamestars]

This will be our first family Disney trip with our two girls, ages 4 and 20 months. We will be there during April vacation so we know it will be BUSY! We are doing a 4 day park pass and currently planning on doing 2 days at MK, 1 day at AK, 1/2 day at EC and 1/2 day at HS. We are staying off property at my in laws timeshare. What are the best rides/attractions for little ones?? I don't want to over-do it, we will have many more Disney trips in years to come!

Hi!

For Magic Kingdom, my suggestions would be:

-Dumbo, especially with the new playground queue that would interest the 20 month old

-Aladdin's Magic Carpets

-Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid

-Peter Pan's Flight

-It's a Small World

-The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

I hope you have an amazing time!

My girls were that exact age when we took our first trip! There is a ton for them to do at Magic Kingdom. They loved Winnie the Pooh, and Peter Pan. My oldest loved Barnstormer. Disney Jr. in HS. The safari in Animal Kingdom. Nemo in Epcot.

Also, the baby care center is wonderful. Small enough to feel comfortable letting the 4 year old go into the stall alone while you change the baby.

Living with the Land (I think a lot of people overlook this ride, but my family loves it! It is a very relaxing ride and you see a lot of cool things!)

My four year old sons favorite ride was splash mountain and the Barnstormer. I'm sure your little girl would like them too. I know it's not a ride, but BBB would probably be amazing for her, we took my son to the Pirates league, and he ended up being so amazed and excited by it all ...it wasn't something I was just thrilled about, but it turned out to be a surprisingly major highlight for him/us!

Since u are staying off site, plan your park visits around avoiding the early magic hours. The parks will already be crowded when you get there.
