DHS with kids?? About This Page:

[ImGoofy3mmc]

I'm planning on only one day at DHS what do you recommend as a must see for me. We are myself, DH, DS7, DD4, DS2, MIL, and FIL. We definitely want to see Voyage of the little Mermaid and playhouse Disney because last time we didn't get to do those, what else do you recommend not missing. Thanks

We love the ToT for those that are tall enough in your party. We took my DS who was 4 1/2 at the time and he Loved it!! Also...see I have all boys...they loved the Lights Motor Action stunt show with the cars. I took a tip from another mother and packed the soft foam earplugs for the stunt show and they were able to sit and watch and not have to keep covering their ears. (good for fireworks too ). And of course, there are Great characters at DHS.

Enjoy!!

OH!!...also...I don't know when you are going...but, the new Toy Story Mania is supposed to open this Summer and that should be a must see!!

I'm not overly thrilled with the Studios but the Beauty and the Beast show is good. The Great Movie Ride is okay too.

This is one of our favorite parks! Luke and Brooke love playing in the HISTK playground. You have such a range of ages going and there is something for all of them. Your MIL and FIL should love Streets of America, One Man's Dream, Great Movie Ride, Lights Motors Action! Stunt show, backlot tour and the street entertainers are awesome! Try to find "Mulch, Sweat and Shears" around the Streets of America - very entertaining. For the little ones Voyage of the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast (for adults too!), Playhouse Disney, character meetings, Toy Story Mania. My favorite ride in all WDW is RnRC! Have a great time!

My DS loves the Stunt Show. And both kids love the HISTK playground. Also meeting all the characters

We, DS8 and I, loveThe Great Movie Ride, RNR, Voyage of The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, and you CANNOT miss Fantasmic! It is my main reason for visiting DHS. It is absolutely amazing!

My DS 6 loved Star Tours.....we rode it again and again. Eatting at the Sci Fi was very cool, too.

My kids all really enjoyed Lights Motors Action. It's one of the things they're most looking forward to seeing again on our upcoming trip.

My boys loved all the characters...and my oldest loved TOT and RRC!! They also really liked the stunt show.....

The Muppets 3-D show is worth the price of admission. Toy Story Mania is set to open in May and should be great. The atmosphere is great, the thrill rides are wonderful if you have anyone so inclined and the Great Movie Ride is fabulous if you have any movie buffs in your group. There is something for everyone at DHS. Enjoy...

My wife and I did a series of articles on taking toddlers and preschoolers to the 4 various parks. You got both, so here

I hope it helps. Basically, its characters and shows for the kiddies. Personally, I think the DHS is the least appealing of the 4 for the real young kids. The parks have more rides for youngsters (MK and Epcot) or animals & better shows (DAK)

We have been taking all three of our boys to Disnwey since they were newborns and we have never skipped MGM/DHS becaus eof their age. This is a great park for characyer interaction and the love VoLM and Playhouse Disney. They were into Muppets even as toddlers so we always did that too and if it got to scary for them we just took the glasses off. They loved being able to visit pizza planet and to this day SciFi is still one of their favorite places due to the atmosphere. The HISK playground is always a big hit. The only thing we skipped was the IJ stunt show as it sometimes was to loud for them and was to hard for them to sit thru.....They liked the bright colors and music in B&B and now as they get older, they are tall enough for ToT and RnR. Great Movie Ride is their favorite ride there and we often rode it many times in a row, Go and enjoy!

Thanks for all the great suggestions, I just talked with my inlaws and they were concerned that 3 days of MK might be too much for them so now I'm debating do we do 2 days AK or 2 days DHS we will be at WDW for 7 full days at first I was going to do MK 3days, EP 2days, DHS 1day and AK 1day now what they don't mind if we separate for the day and do something different what do you all suggest? I don't mind doing something other than MK and neither do the kids... but which of those 2 parks would be best for the all the people in our party?? Thanks

[doccoc2002]

We(DD's 4&2, DH & I) spend 2days @ MK, 2days @ Epcot, 1day @ DHS, 1Day @ AK and then the last day we spend doing thing like DtD and the rides in parks that we want to hit again. IMHO, you can spend a day each at DHS & AK and still have time to relax during the day @DHS & at night @AK.
