Which two parks for a short trip in March (5-yr-old edition)

[Ecomommy09]

AK is my FAVORITE park, but Celery is SHORT and can't ride anything. Should we just do two days at MK or is there another park that has enough for her to do to have fun. She's 5, but too short to ride FOP. Thanks!

I like Epcot with my 1 year old. I thought it had enough rides and things to do for her. EP had the mexico ride, frozen, figment, living with the land, and spaceship earth. Idk if your DD is tall enough for soarin or test track. We also liked doing the scavenger hunt in the counties during the art festival. I didn’t think AK or HS had a lot for my DD to do.

OK! I'll look at Epcot. She'd love to do SW, but I'm not sure she would be tall enough for any of the rides...

It's flower and garden festival when we go. I've discovered they have two scavenger hunts, but I don't know which is better for a 5-yr-old. I need to figure that out.

My son has been obsessed with AK and Epcot since he was a small toddler. LOTS of space for him to run since hes a mover and a shaker and doesnt need rides as much as he needs physical and visual stimulation. Epcot has that in spades. He's 5 now and we both will have APs, so I will be taking him another 3-4 times during our AP year. I imagine some trips we might not even go into MK as he quickly gets overwhelmed there. AK for the Safari and all the animals, Epcot for Soarin and Mission Space. HS for Galaxys Edge. Might Hop to MK in the late evenings to ride some rides.

We planned on only MK and HS when my daughter was 6, but ended up adding in Epcot and spending less time at HS. I would never have projected that, but at the time there just wasn’t a ton for her to do at HS. I really don’t like stage shows and we even ended up watching the Beauty and the Beast show just to make it seem like a fuller park visit. (This was right before GE opened).

Epcot, however, was her request and she LOVED it. So while I initially doubted people who said their kids really liked Epcot, there seems to be strange phenomenon for that age group!

AK has Dinoland, Kilamanjaro Safari, Tough to be a Bug, the expedition train, the gorillas and other wildlife, Navi River etc. that a five year old can do. Me personally since you are asking opinions: MK and AK.

My kids (7 and 5) love Hollywood Studios. Our last trip we only had two park days and did MK and HS. I feel like HS is really good right now for kids that age, with Runaway Railway, Slinky Dog Dash, Alien Swirling Saucers, etc. We also built droids at Galaxy's Edge but the kids really aren't into that area just quite yet.

It looks super fun, but I’m afraid to even attempt it since it’s the most popular park right now.

Was last there in November, it didn’t seem any more or less crowded than MK, except the number of people waiting around Rise of the Resistance. I have not tried to get dining reservations or anything recently though.
