My almost 3 year old son really enjoyed MGM Studios. He's small enough that he really enjoys the shows and the backlot tour. If anything, I think Animal Kingdom is less toddler friendly than any of the other parks. About the only thing DS could do was the Lion King show and the Safari ride. Not much fun beyond that. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the park for the most part, but it's a lot of walking for not much of anything super special. So if and when we go back next year, we'll probably skip Animal Kingdom and spend time at the other 3 parks. JMHO.
