We went in October, the week before our son turned 3. I thought it was a great time to go...still free, but no diapers! We’d gone when he was 18 months, but I thought 3 years old was more fun.
At DHS, we did EMM. It ended up being a great value for us. We did all 3 rides (some of them twice) and met the characters - Woody/Jessie and Buzz. The only thing my son talk Ed about before our trip was meeting Chewie, so we knew we had to do that! We also met Sofia, Doc McStuffins, Vampirina, Olaf, Pluto, and Goofy. We saw the Frozen show and the Muppets 3D show, bit of which my son really enjoyed.
At AK, my son really loved Nav’i River Journey. He also enjoyed the Safari and Lion King show. We met some characters...I remember Timon and Pocahontas off the top of my head. I think the highlight of his day was...playing in the Boneyard playground. Go figure.
At Epcot, he really liked Turtle Talk and he’s apparently one of the 3 or 4 people who likes Gran Fiesta Tour. We were there during Food & Wine, so we spent a lot of the day eating, which is another hobby of my son’s. We met Belle, Anna, and Elsa in World Showcase, and Mickey/Minnie/Goofy at the character spot.
At MK, we also did EMM. It was nice to knock out 3 rides (it’s even more now) before the park even opened. My son really loves a lot of MK. Some of his favorites are Dumbo, small world, Enchanted Tiki Room, Winnie the Pooh, and the speedway. He also loved playing in the play area near Splash while my DH rode. We met a couple of characters...Cinderella, Elena, Merida, and Ariel. I may or may not have forced him to meet all of these princesses. I really wanted to meet them and the pictures are adorable!
We also did character meals at Tusker House and Crystal Palace. We did breakfast to keep the cost down and both were big hits with all 3 of us!
We stayed at the Poly and he enjoyed just hanging out and playing on the beach, quite honestly.
It was a great trip. I hope we can go back relatively soon!
