HS or AK?

We have a 4 year old and one year old. Which park is better for that age group, Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom ? Mostly focused on the 4 year old (44 inches tall). Thanks!

When we went in the fall my kids were 2.5, 2.5, and 4. AK was by far their favorite park. They absolutely loved it. We even added in a second day just because they loved it so much.

To be fair, we didn't even try HS because the Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area was closed and there didn't seem much else there for the 2.5 year olds. Next trip we are going to try an arrival day half day at HS, but still plan on doing two AK days.

I would think AK. My then 6-year-old liked it 10X better than DHS.

I would go with AK for children that age. if you are there before May 31 your 4 y/o will enjoy the Jungle Jammin' Parade, and if you are there in June or later she could see FOTLK. There's also Nemo the Musical, which everyone of all ages loves, awesome M&Gs, the safari, the jungle trek. Lots to do to entertain a 4 y/o without mom getting too worn out

If you have hoppers I would suggest both.... Out of all our visits, we've never missed a park,ever.

It's hard to say for your family, because both have plenty of stuff/ shows to see.

AK.: BESIDES some good rides, it has conservation station, which ties in with train ride.
It also has birds flights of wonder, Nemo, lion king, tough to be a bug too. Has a bunch of other stuff as well.

HS.: Also has somerides like TSM, Star tours, great movie ride, but also the shows as well. Beauty n the beast, Indiana Jones, Play house Disney, The little mermaid,Lights motor action, Muppets 3d and also their playground. Obviously Fantasmic at night too.

As I state both are great but if you try could only do 1 , then I'd choose HS.
