What are your *pre-schooler's* fav rides & attractions?

[Kimberle]

Brittany's has got to be the little cars you drive at MK. She can ride them all day long!

She also likes Dumbo, Flying Carpets (both MK), and the flying Elephant ride (AK). (see the trend?!)

My 2 yr old son also loved the Indy cars! Other hits were Small World, Dumbo (I think), the carousel (he loves any carousel), the train, the monorail, Honey I Shrunk the Kids play set, Playhouse Disney, Fantasmic, and Safari ride. He fell asleep on Spaceship Earth. We didnt ride a lot of things, but rode a few several times. He did not like any of the 3 D movies, and Haunted Mansion. We didnt even attempt Bugs Life!

Last year my 4 year old daughter's favorites were Splash Mountain and Goofy's Barnstormer.
My 2 year old son loved Goofy's Barnstormer(he even held his little arms up in the air LOL) and Pooh.

 

[GADISNEYGIRL]

Our 2 yr old loved Small World, Pooh, Peter Pan, and Pirates of the Carribean. (He is a big fan of pirates!) Also loved Spaceship Earth, El Rio del Tiempo and Maelstrom.

At 2 and 3, Peter Pan's Flight was the big hit. They also enjoyed the Tiki Birds, the Safari, Playhouse Disney, Dumbo and the parades.

At 4 and 5, we skipped the parades and Playhouse Disney, but they liked all their earlier choices. My 4 year olds new favorite was Mickey's Philharmagic. They enjoyed Imagination (not open before), Spaceship Earth, Barnstormer.

My 4 yr old's favorites are: Splash Mountain, Goofy's Barn Stormer, and Test Track.

She enjoys all the other rides too but she's definately a thrill ride junkie!!

DS 3 1/2 LOVES the Buzz Lightyear ride. He's a huge Stitch fan so we can't wait to see the new ride this fall!

DD 6 loves It's a Small World and Alladin's Flying carpet ride. Also when I just asked her she said "The Tiki Room" with a Huge smile.

These are probably the standard answers but...

Rides...
Small World, Dumbo, Peter Pan, Snow White, Buzz Lightyear, Pooh, Kilamanjaro

Attractions...
Philharmagic, Muppets

Shows...
Beauty and the Beast, Tazan Rocks, Lion King, Little Mermaid

But my daughter's (3yrs old) favorite ride is the monorail.

 

[4greatboys]

My 2 and 4 yr old really like Buzz, TTA, Peter Pan, Dumbo, Triceratops Spin, Indy Cars, KS, HM.
On the bigger rides my 4 yr old loves BTMRR, TT and keeps asking when he can ride the bigger coasters like RnR and The Hulk.

My boys have been twice, at ages 1 and 3, and 2 and 4. they are both kind of timid on rides, and the older one is TERRIFIED of Pirates, hence no POC, much to his parents' dismay!!

The 3/4 year old loved:
At MK: Buzz, Indy Speedway, Teacups, Barnstormer, Aladdin (and water play area nearby), Dumbo, Philharmagic, Peter Pan
At MGM: Nothing! except the HISTK playground and playhouse Disney the first time
At AK: Dig site, KJ safari ride, Kali river rapids, Lion King show
At Epcot: Test track, Spaceship Earth, water play in area betwen the two sides of the park, meeting Pooh and friends in U.K., kidcot stations, Mexico rio de tempo ride, Norway ride, street shows.

The 1/2 year old loved:
At MK: teacups, tomorrowland transit authority, Pooh, small world, Buzz, dumbo, aladdin, Philharmagic
At MGM: Playhouse Disney
At AK: Digsite/boneyard, various trails, Lion King show
At Epcot: liked walking around, doing kidcots, water play in fountain, watching street shows, Mexico ride

We will not be going back to MGM on our March 05 trip, but they loved the other parks. they also loved the Universal parks.

My 3 1/2 year old granddaughter loved the Haunted Mansion. She can't wait to go back to see it again! She also loved Spaceship Earth (enough that we rode it three times) and Kilimanjaro Safari. Of course, when we ask her what her favorite ride was, she says "The plane to Florida".

My 3 yo's fav was definately the monorail (don't try telling him it not a ride ). He also rode TTA, Spaceship Earth, and Goofy's Barnstormer about the most of the park rides. This year, he's all excited about being able to ride Thunder Mountain, Splash, and Test Track since he was a touch too small last year.

 

[meeko_33785]

Well, I don't have any kids, but when I was that young, I liked It's A Small World, Cinderella's Golden Carousel, Grand Prix Raceway (now Indy Speedway), Tom Saywer's Island, and the parades (there wasn't too much else back then )

We haven't been to WDW yet but did take DD, then almost 2, to DLR last year. She loved the Mad Hatter's Tea Party and Dumbo. She fell asleep 3 times on the POC (the rocking of boat did her in ) Each time we approached the PPF ride, she was hesitant but as soon as we were off, she wanted to get back on (same for Mr. Toad's Wild Ride). the Winnie the Pooh ride also seemed to be enjoyed.

One problem with the "tea cup" ride was spinning it fast enough for DD without inducing motion sickness for the adult.
