Magic Kingdom
* Rides- must do some of the better known rides – Pirates of the Caribbean / Small World / Peter Pan / The Haunted Mansion / Jungle Cruise
* It is best to go straight to Fantasy Land and ride those rides early
* The Barnstormer is a good "first roller coaster" ride for the kids
* Buzz Lightyear is a get on early or get a fast pass ride
* Monsters Inc is a cute show that uses video/pictures of people from the audience. It can be really funny if they ham it up for the camera!

* Older kids like – Space Mountain (coaster in the dark....if you like to be able to see where you are going, this one is not for you) / Thunder Mountain (mild roller coaster) / Splash Mountain (You will get wet!)
* For relaxation you can do (air conditioned with seats) Mickey’s Philharmagic (3D show with special effects), Country Bear Jamboree (old but cute), Hall of Presidents (not too exciting for the kids)
* Have to see Main Street Electrical Parade and fireworks (they are great). You usually have to find a place to sit at least an hour before it starts.
Animal Kingdom
* Must ride the Dinosaur ride (can be scary for little ones-its dark, loud, and bumpy) and the Kilimanjaro Safari (real animals)
* Expedition Everest is a must for roller coaster riders
* The Nemo show is good but you need to line up early for better seats
* Festival of the Lion king is one of my favorite shows in all of the parks!
* Its Tough to Be a Bug is a 3-D movie with effects...good stuff!
* If you ride Kali River Rapids – you will get soaking wet!
Hollywood Studios
* When you go into the park, get a schedule of the day's events. Hollywood Studios has several shows you will want to see and they are at certain times throughout the day.
* Rockin' Roller Coaster ride (Aerosmith) is great
* Tower of terror is excellent (not for the weak)
* Great Movie Ride and Back-Lot Tour are fun
* MUST do Toy Story – however go to the ride when you first walk in – ride or get fast pass (fast passes run out early for this one)
* Indiana Jones show is a good action packed show. The boys loved it!
* Indiana Jones show is a good action packed show. The boys loved it!
* Little Mermaid and Beauty & The Beast shows are great for relaxing (and air conditioned!)
* Disney Junior is a must do with little ones! It changes a little based on which shows are currently popular on Disney Jr. Channel. Be ready to sit on the floor in this one though.
* American Idol is fun for older kids
* Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area will let the kids get a little energy out!
* Star Tours is fun especially for Star Wars fans. It is 3-D motion simulated so a little scary for some kids
* Fantasmic is the night time fireworks/laser light/water show. Great seating everywhere here so no rush to get there early!
* If you go during November or December you have to see the Osborne Family Lights!!

Epcot
* Meet Anna and Elsa from Frozen in Norway
* Rides – must do – Test Track and Soaring- always long lines for these. Either go here first or get fast passes
* Mission Space has 2 versions of the ride. I have never done the "lower intensity" level. The full blown version is not for the weak! It is a shuttle simulator and very close quarters. Gotta do if you are not claustrophobic and you are a ride lover!
