re: Best Disneyworld activities for toddlers.....

First things first. Kids want to play. Whether they are in Disney or at Uncle Cletus's, they want to run around and have fun, so look for any playgrounds or fun shite for them to climb on, like characters.

Breakfast - book this each day, early as possible, at the park. Crystal Palace for Magic Kingdom, Akershus for Epcot, Tusker House for Animal Kingdom, and I forget the name of the one right by the 50's primetime in Hollywood. This gets you into the park before it opens, and allows you to bypass waiting in line. If the park opens at 9am, make breakfast for 9:15 or a few mins after. That way, you go in early, walk to the attraction you want, ride it, then go to breakfast.

Now for 2y/o's -
Animal Kindgom - Safari fa sho, Nemo, boneyard. Rafiki's Plantwatch has a train ride to get there if they like trains, and a petting zoo. This is a massive time sink and boring though, avoid except to ride the train. Kali river rapids also has a low height requirement, not low enough for 2yo's, but others reading make a note.

Epcot - Nemo ride, Figment, Ellen's Commercial Ride, play in the Innoventions Place, Maelstrom, fireworks at 9pm, and go listen to the England band and let them run with the other children through the hedgemaze, provided you have the adultpower to cover the exits.

Hollywood Studios - Avoid this park. They have the great movie ride, which they won't like much. Muppets show, Honey, I'm Rick Moranis Playground, backlot tour. Indiana Jones maybe, Cars NO. Cars is fun, but it takes soooooo long to do, it's a daykiller.

Magic Kingdom - This is where you want to spend your time. Fantasyland is great, Tomorrowland, meh. Everything here will be fun.

The plan we used at 2yo was go really early, leave around 2pm. Nap if they nap, swim if they don't. Eat dinner at hotel, or the park you go back to. We would end up at a park for 6pm-10pm or so, kids would sleep on bus ride back, we would get in, pack up for the next day's haul, and go to sleep for 11:30pm after a quick bath/shower tap.

Possible, but highly highly unlikely the mine train will have any availability after mid morning. Even if you book the earliest time frames available (9-10, 10-11 and 11-12) then walk to a kiosk by 11:15, they would probably be all gone.

I also forgot about the play area at the end of figment, and the playgrounds in Hollywood Studios (Honey I Shrunk the Kids) and Animal Kingdom (Boneyard) the kids love them all.

I was just able to get a reservation for my daughter and me, so the others can do a ride and I'll take her to meet A&E

How did you do it, by looking individually?

Tusker House is one of my favorite character meals inside any park. Their lunch is legit.

Margaritas from Mexico as soon as 11 a.m. strikes
and go inside to get them, the cart outside sucks compared to the ones inside

I chose the option to change only my FP+ for the day. I was able to get the other two reservations close to the same time as the rest of my group.

Not this year..we're going for Not So Scary Halloween Party. Wife and I did F&W last year, this year we decided to bring the little one to the Halloween and Christmas Party so I'll actually see two LSU games from Disney this year....Sam Houston and aTm

Just grabbed a post to respond to.

We did Animal Kingdom this past May without using a fast pass. Just get there at park open and ride what you want. We did all the rides and were done by noon. Save your fastpasses for the afternoon in another park.

Do the Safaris FIRST THING IN THE MORNING!!! It is unbelievable how much more active the animals are in the morning!

Also, do not bring a 2 year old to see Its Tough to be a Bug! That show is extremely scary for a kid and you can book it that about 10 kids a show are escorted out screaming their heads off!
