    No rides as such (I seem to remember there was a playground though) but take them to Gatorland. It's a hoot and my children loved seeing the huge alligators and handling some of the smaller animals and feeding the lorikeets.

    My daughter was 3 & 1/2 when we went earlier this year. We went to all the main parks & she loved them all. Magic Kingdom was good for rides but was also the busiest park we went to. She went on a few rides at Epcot, not so good tho(not really kiddies rides). She enjoyed the shows at MGM. Not many rides again at Animal Kingdom but she loved the shows. Universal Islands of adventure was better for her, quite a lot of rides there. The universal studios were ok. No rides at Seaworld but great shows. I think she probably had the most rides at Busch Gardens.
    She also loved watching the Dixie Stampede show!
    Hope you have a great time- we did!

    Our kids like this area so much the first time we went to the park, but were intent on doing as many rides as possible, we later set aside an afternoon just for this area. We went prepared with their trunks and a towel and we relaxed and watched as they run wild.

    Busch Gardens and Seaworld now both have smaller rides for the little ones and there is the added attraction of the animals. Also there are normally far fewer queues than at Disney.

    Hi

    Have a look at a website called thedibb.co.uk its a site run by and for people who love Disney. The site is full of advice about how to make your holiday a magical experience. Its a really friendly site, I am sure you will get lots of information for your holiday from it.
