We are doing a couple of days at US/IOA before we check in at Disney. DH and I were there in 2005 but going with a toddler will be a whole different experience! Any tips or suggestions are welcome!
 
In US, Curious Georges Play Area, Fival's Play Area & Barney! that was about it.... when mine were young, there wasn't any IOA. But if you ask me, there isn't anything in IO for a toddler.. maybe the Caroseussel... and the play area & that is it....
 
IOA - Everything at Seuss' Landing and the Sinbad show.

US - ET, Animal Show, Curious George area, and Fievel's Play Ground area. Make sure you bring a swim suit and water shoes for the water park area. That was a big hit.
 
Our 2.5 year old loved staying home with grandma and grandpa ....
 


I concur with Darcy...our daughter when she was 2 1/2 (her name is Brenna, also) loved the Suess area. She loved Merry-go round(s) the best.

Isn't hard to find personlized items for Brenna? Everyone thinks of "Brenda" or "Breanna" first before Brenna.
