What did your 2yo like best about Disney World?

My son really enjoyed:
-riding all the transportation (buses, monorail, MK train, etc.)
-the random little train in Downtown Disney
-Tomorrowland Speedway (with Daddy)
-meeting characters at Hollywood & Vine (esp Jake)
-rice krispie mickey head
-the Dumbo queue area (cried when we were paged to ride Dumbo)
-watching the construction crane taking down all the holiday lights from the castle :/
 
2yo DS's favorite thing by far was meeting characters - any and all of them. As far as attractions, he really liked:

MK
Philharmagic, small world, Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh

Epcot
DS's absolute fav ride in all of WDW was Spaceship Earth, which surprised me. Also really enjoyed Nemo

Hollywood Studios
Toy Story Mania and the Disney Jr. show

Animal Kingdom
Playing in the boneyard
 
My DD's third trip was when she was just a few weeks shy of two. Hands down, hugging characters was her favorite thing that trip. But just a couple months earlier, you would have thought Anna and Elsa were terrifying monsters, the way she reacted to meeting them. So, point is, toddlers are unpredictable and not all alike, so check in with your 2-year-old often to see what he's enjoying. Because you have a number of character meals set, I'd recommend trying to do at least one character meet & greet first so that you will give your DS a chance to warm up and see if he likes them or is afraid of them, rather than going into a meal and finding out he hates them at that point (hopefully he won't).

Otherwise, in all 3 trips (14 months, 21 months, 23 months), DD has consistently loved all rides and not cared for many shows. And I think just about every 2-year-old has It's a Small World high on their list. Also, especially since you'll be going in hot June, make sure to know where air-conditioned rest and/or play areas are. Inside the Dumbo tent is good for getting some energy out and the baby care centers are good just to cool down and relax for a bit.

Have a great time!
