MGM - these attractions for 3, 4, 6 year olds?

[SnoWhiteRabbit]

Hi,
In the past my kids have all been 4 and under so we skipped several attractions at MGM. This year there are a few we'd like to try. My kids will be 6, 4 and almost 3 (one month after the trip). They are pretty interested in how things work, and they like movies and have decent attention spans, but they are still little kids! Are these attractions ok for little ones?

- Magic of Disney Animation
- Backlot Tour
- One Man's Dream
- Indian Jones

They have done these and we will do them again this trip:
- Playhouse Disney
- Beauty & the Beast
- Voyage of the Little Mermaid
- Great Movie Ride
- Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground
- Muppet Vision
- Fantasmic
- the parade

Thanks for any feedback on the four we haven't tried yet!

All of this depends on your kids, of course.

Magic of Disney Animation - probably more boring than anything for young kids

Backlot Tour - the "Catastrophe Canyon" portion is pretty intense. The tram rocks back and forth, a lot of fire and a lot of water. Pretty realistic to a young kid, probably. Scared my DS5.

One Man's Dream - Kind of a Walt and WDW museum. Probably boring to young kids. Interesting to Disney lovers, though!

Indiana Jones - Special effects event. Pretty cool. Some explosions, loud noises. Not as intense from the back. DS5 liked it okay.

I have brought young children to all these my little one is bright but was under 3- Indian Jones effects are far enough away you could talk about them and say just pretend mine was nto upset or bored- mildly interested. Backlot just warned her about the pretend waterfall and explosion she did fine. One man's drem she liked chasing the mickey patterns on the floor and did fine so I could enjoy it. My fact enjoying kids loved the animation tour and when the woman said anyone have questions my 3 year old asked several and raised his hand each time! LOL It is a great disney magic memory. Enjoy!

I think they would be board at animations and one man's dream.
They should enjoy the back lot tour and really like Indy. HAve a blast.
