Disney - what's a must?

Skip MGM studios. I remember it being a bust. Obviously do animal planet, and the Magic Kingdom.

do you have a girl?

oh my god i looooove going their. my family used to go every three years. you have to have to do Animal Kingdom and Magic! also while your their you should stop and do Seaworld ( not connected to Disney) I thought MGM was fun....but only a few good rides versus the many at the other two parks. I loved tower of terror and rockin roller coaster.......at the Magic you have to do splash mt and thunder and space. hit all the mt rides lol.

man i wish i was going. take me with you!!!!!!!

ps. do haunted mansion, pirates, snow white, dumbo, ...other park, the new ride ( i think its journey to mt everest), and dinosaur are my fav!!

I've been to Disney World quite a few times(will actually be going there at the end of may!) and my fav park is still Magic Kingdom, it has the most rides. The Animal Kingdom is also a lot of fun, if you go there def do the safari ride in the morning because thats when the animals will be out! You can combine Epcot and MGM studios in the same day. As far as the water parks go, Blizzard Beach is really fun and has a lot of interesting slides. Have fun!:happy:

I've been 4 times, in fact we have a time share there. You're kids are at a great age!Universal Studios is for a bit older I think. Send away for a package online, you'll get a movie of the parks, coupons and all! At this age I'd do the Disney parks if you think you'll get back there. Islands of Adventure is definetly for older kids., but our favorite park. Seaworld is awesome, they have a new waterpark opening. Discovery Cove is expensive but amazing. I did it twice. Once alone, once with my youngest. We did the big "Trainer of the Day" package. It was worth it! My husband and I deep sea fished-fun!!! Great deals on right now that's for sure! Should be good line ups too, I heard they had to lay people off! Disney used to let you bring you're own food in, but I'm not sure anymore. We had a thermal backpack. Epcot was a let down for us, but we like crazy rides. I thinks younger kids may get bored, but it depends what you like.On a Disney website, I found an area where people made suggestions on what to bring, etc. It helped the first time. Busch Gardens in Tampa is amazing! My 17 yr old son and I went on a safari and fed giraffes up close. They leaned in the open back of the truck where we were-got amazing pics!! My only advice is, if you can afford it, is don't skrimp. I bought beautiful frames, and shirts, etc. More expensive in the parks, but not crap!! We're heading back next year, now you have me excited to go!!:flowerforyou: Enjoy the parades with your littles ones. Animal Kingdom is awesome!

My husband says not to forget to try a smoked turkey leg at the parks. Filled the kids up too-HUGE!. Buy a collector cup for the family, refills are cheaper throughout the day! Wear a fanny pack so your arms are free, put money etc. in a baggie as you will get wet. We bought disposable cameras for the kids to take their own pics. Interesting to see what they were intigued with!

we were there in Sept. also 5 & 9 year olds. your little one won't be able to go on some rides, but we had a big group, so he would hang with someone who didn't want to go on a ride, so me and dh were able to go on with our 9yo. (who was quite daring!)
buy a photograph book here and pack it.
I also bought a backpack (Outside baby) that had a cooler attached to the bottom and the top kept reg. stuff. so we carried all our passes, phone, money, camera, a squeegie towel, water, snacks. My husband would carry that. Get a stroller. Worth it. The kids get a little pooped by the end of the day.

Hollywood studios...
Toy Story Midway Mania (4-D) was the BEST ride, we had so much fun. We had to wait in line, but it was sooo worth it!
Rock n Roller Coaster
Tower of Terror
The kids actually like one this out of all the parks.

Epcot
Mission Space, Test Track, Soarin, the Ellen Degeneres ride was pretty good too. the Nemo one was kinda lame.

Magic Kingdom
Pirates of the caribbean, Big thunder, Monsters inc., space mountain, stitch (kinda scared my 5yo, cause you're in the dark)
sit near the beginning of the street for the parade (where the rotary is) Prince charming winked at me! haha
splash mountain... don't do first, you'll regret it!
buzz lightyear space ranger (fun!)
haunted mansion
and the racecars

Animal Kingdom
safari ride, Bug Life 3-D (very cool), Expedition Everest

I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot! but, when you get there, go left, instead of right where most people go, you'll have less traffic!

I'm letting my daughter answer this......


k i'm 13 and my mom takes us there every year, don't really like magic kingdom but for some reason parents think we'll like it, animal kingdom is really awesome, Epcot sucked big time, so did seaworld, i loved when we went to Universal studios..adventure island..the other park was a total bust, we had meal deal tickets and everything, and i love it there, also really liked hanging out in downtown disney, but my all time favourite thing was discovery cove, it'sthe coolest place ever, and they give you lunch and drinks, and you can like tube through these like caves it's soooo freakin awesome, I love it, gatorland was kinda cool, it has like a zillion gators hanging around and some pretty cool shows to watch, Busch gardens is good too, but been there too many times, and kinda sick of it, the medieval time show is lots of fun, so is the Pirate of the caribbean one..think thats what its called we stay at the Nickelodeon hotel, which is the coolest place ever!! it's better then any of the disney hotels that we ever stayed in u can even get slimed in one of their shows, and they have like a huge water park, 3 pools, mini putt, basketball, that place really rocks, video games in the room...very cool place! =D, jut ask ur kids what they wanna do, let em look at the websites, thats what my mom and dad do, and we pick out stuff that looks cool.
