Disney World is the perfect place to vacation with little ones. The Disney parks are catered to families, and families of babies and toddlers find it especially easy to enjoy their time there. There are Baby Centers at each park that offer clean bathrooms, changing stations, areas for feeding, and nursing rooms. Staying on property makes it easy to catch a bus back to your resort for a quick mid-day nap. There are many attractions that are suitable for toddlers and babies with no height requirement. Popular attractions for toddlers include Dumbo the Flying Elephant, “it’s a small world”, and Frozen Ever After. There are so many attractions that toddlers love, some of which tend to be underrated or overlooked. If you have a vacation coming up with your toddler then don’t skip these underrated Disney attractions.
Prince Charming Regal Carousel at Magic Kingdom
With so many exciting attractions throughout Magic Kingdom it is easy to forget about one very special classic ride. Located in Fantasyland and overlooking the rear of Cinderella Castle, Prince Charming Regal Carousel is a beautiful merry-go-round that you shouldn’t skip. This ride was first built in 1917 before being sold to Disney in the 1970’s which makes it the oldest ride in all of Disney World. The horses are hand-carved, and you can really appreciate the craftsmanship as you ride. Toddlers absolutely adore carousels and this attraction makes for a great break from all the stimulation of the parks.
Walt Disney World Railroad at Magic Kingdom
When you think of attractions at Magic Kingdom you might not be thinking of the Walt Disney World Railroad. But this attraction is the perfect ride for toddlers and especially those who love trains. Disney uses real steam engine trains and there are currently two stations in the park that you can use. This is a great ride to choose when you want to get from Main Street to Fantasyland, and there is typically little to no wait for this attraction as well!
The Affection Section at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom is a great park for toddlers to experience and enjoy. The Affection Section is a lesser-known attraction that is located in Rafiki’s Planet Watch. After taking The Wildlife Express Train, guests can walk toward Conservation Station which is home to The Affection Section. Here, you can get up-close with goats, cows, pigs, and other animals that love to be pet.
Disney Junior Play and Dance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Hollywood Studios is home to some great attractions for little ones like Mickey and Minnie’s Runway Railway and Toy Story Mania. But there’s another attraction in Animation Courtyard that kids love. Disney Junior Play and Dance is a fun and energetic dance party featuring some of your favorite Disney Junior pals alongside Mickey Mouse. This is a great opportunity for your kiddo to burn off some energy and play a little during their busy day at the parks.
