Play areas in parks (except MK)

[cgorn]

We'll be traveling with a 2-year old in December. I'm wondering if there are "play areas" in the parks. I know that in MK, you have the Pooh playground and the Laughin' Place. It looks like at DHS, the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" area is for 3+.

Basically, I'm trying to find areas where a little little kid can run around and burn energy so she's not jumping out of her skin waiting in lines all day.

Thanks!

At MK, there is also a playground in Toontown by Donald's Boat. AK has the Boneyard play area but I'm not sure what the minimun age is.

In MK
Donald's Boat in Toon Town - I just wish they would have thought to add a few benches around it, so the adults have a place to sit as the kids play.

Tom Sawyer Island - also in MK great for running around, exploring

In Animal Kingdom there is the Boneyard

In Epcot - the dancing water fountains is a good place to cool off and jump around a bit.

I am sure there is more!

The Boneyard at Animal Kingdom is always fun!

Epcot has all sorts of nooks and crannies for little ones to burn off some steam. In The Seas, there's the area with the big Bruce head that my kids love to climb on, as well as many other fun things to poke and pull at. My son love's to climb in the tunnels in the area where you wait on the rest of your party riding Misson: Space. Innoventions of of course a nice cool place too, as well as the Imagination Pavillion with lots of neat things to bang on and run around on. Some of the countries have areas too, like the garden in the UK. In HS, we like to cool off in the character area in the Animation building. My son has taken many naps in there!

Epcot has a whole bunch of new play areas in WS.

Epcot has a whole bunch of new play areas in WS.

Those new play places usually only stay around for the Flower show.

WS doesn't have a playground. They do have a mini maze in UK.

The Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground at DHS is open to all children, not just those over age 3. My kids both played there at younger ages than that. That said, it is EASY to lose sight of a child in there unless you're limber enough to follow right behind them.

The Boneyard at AK is a lot of fun for kids of all ages and the Dig Site area is like playing in a huge sandbox.

Epcot has a climbing area inside of the waiting area at the end of Mission Space.
