Help me plan have 2DD's (4.5yrs and 3yrs)....

[dharma517]

What should we NOT miss on our one and only day at MK? We have CRT ressies for breakfast and then I have no idea what we should do...obviously we are going to focus on the rides and areas for them since we only have one day (then we are doing a 4 night cruise)!!! I saw the pooh play place...that looks good. What else? They both like those little rough rollercoasters.
Thanks,
Jenn

I am never one to stick to a set play-by-play plan for Disney, but you can use this as a reference guide and adjust to your family's liking.

Because of your DD's ages I would definitely do FantasyLand and focus on that.. There are so many other rides, but at their ages FL is the best bet..

I have an almost 5 year old boy and a 3.5 year old girl. They love Indy race cars Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Small World ( DD calls this the dancing dollies) Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, the whole of Mickey's Toontown ( DD isnt into Goofy's Barnstormer but DS loves it). They love areas that they can run around in the water so Ariel's grotto was a big hit and we never made it to see Ariel.Dumbo, Aladdin's Flying Carpets, The Jungle Cruise. DS is more adventerous than DD so he likes BTMRR and Splash Mt.They both like the MK RR.

While planning your trip, make sure you read about the rides and events and then decide if they are right for your kids.

Each child is different, and you know them best.

When you evaluate a ride or event, make sure you take the "scare factor" into account.

What I found with our son was that he didn't like the 3D movies. Even the ones geared towards kids (I had seen them before, and thought they were cute, and he would love them). I was wrong. He didn't like the dark theater and the load noises.

Another thing I found was that my daughter was OK with some characters, but not others. She wanted nothing to do with getting her picture taken with a 6 foot tall "miss piggy" at MGM Studios.

Also, your two children might like or dislike different things. I found a big difference between those ages. My two kids are 15 months apart. We were at WDW when my DS and DD were about the same ages as your kids. My son went on "Snow Whites scary adventure". My daughter said she wanted to, but when we got to the loading area, my DW went on with my son, and I walk out with my DD.

If you do your homework and plan well, everyone in your family will have a great time.
