Rides & Things To Do?????

[sara969]

Are there plenty of rides for little ones to go on???

Im starting to get worried that there wont be many rides for my daughter to go on as from reading some posts there are alot of fast rides and roller coasters etc.. With height restrictions....

My daughter will be only just be 3yrs old when we go to DLP this November and im hoping that theres plenty for her to go on and to do, just worried that everything might be too old for her.

However she is a very daring girl, very confident and rides dont bother her at all shes not scared of puppets, characters in costume the dark, heights or speed (to a certain sensible limit)
She loved Halloween last year, we went to a disco and she loved the load spooky noises and scarey decorations and spooky people dressed up!

Just dont want to be disappointed and wished that we had waited until she was a bit older...

What do you all suggest??? Is there lots to do for a daring, energic, confident 3yr old...

(she will only just be 3 as her birthday will be while we are there)

there is plenty to do in Fantasyland

potc will be good and add a bit of daring for her

Adventureland has lots of places to explore too.

DS has flying carpets and shows like Animagique

Im sure she will have a FAB time

hi ya again!

There is heaps for your little one to go on...she won't be bored! My son will be 3 in a couple of months and we were there 2ish wks ago...

He went on:

Dumbos x2
Flying carpets x2
Pinnochio ride x3
Snow White Ride x3
Peter Pan Ride x3
Cars x6
Autopia x2
Buzz x8
Orbitron (rockets) x2
Carousel x3
Small World x3
Pirates of the carribean x4
Studio Tram tour x2
Paddle Steamer Boat thing x1
Lion King Show x2
Mickeys winter wonderland x2
Honey I shrunk the audience x1
Stunt Show x1
Haunted mansion...he could have but he didn't

We went for 6 days and this was more than enough for him! The queues were also near non existent so we managed a few goes on things. There is probably more but I can't remember...we spent alot of time also stalking the characters

Hope this gives you an idea!


By the way there is a place called Pizza planet (for lunch/tea) and there seemed to be a play area but it looked unfinished...that would be great too while youre having a cuppa!!

Things she MIGHT not get on:

Crushs coaster ????
Big Thunder mountain????
Indiana Jones (defo won't)
Rock n Roller Coaster (defo won't)
Space Mountain (defo won't)
Tower of Terror (defo won't)

ermmmm thats all I can think of...so not alot she is missing out on to be honest?????

back to the topic in question.
There is lots to do for little ones so dont worry your lo wont get bored.
My DD was obsessed with dumbo we went on that about 10 times

I'd say there is more for children/families than coasters rides.
We have been going to DLP every year since DD was 14 months and have never had a problem finding plenty of things to do

WOW!!!!!!! Thats brilliant, there is actually more she can go on than i thought.... im really happy about that. Thank you soo soo much for your detailed reply, that is really helpful....

DD was 3 and a bit the first trip to DLP. And she enjoyed every minute.
There was loads for her to do - she was more upset that she couldn't go on the big rides with DH and DS!!

 

[tiring_day]

Thanks for that jumbo list Katrina, my nearly 3 yr old is going to love all that stuff. Question has anyone taken a 3yr old on Haunted Mansion? I seem to remember the one at Paris being a little more intense that the WDW one. Comments?

Thanks

I took my DD on haunted mansion and shes only 2, she wasnt scared by it, she just sat in the cart thinking what the hell is going on lol.

Hey thats what I do and I'm 32!!!!

 

[tiring_day]

Yeah maybe he will be ok, I suppose it's going to be different from child to child. I think a lot of the time, with Josh, he doesn't know that he is supposed to be scared by something.

I even looked at Big Thunder Mountain for him but then again maybe not.
