What attractions are best for with 18mth and 5year old boys

My husband and I are going to Orlando in May with our 18mth old and 5year old boys. What attractions are a must and a no way. We went to DisneyWorld when our 1st child was 2 1/5years but are not sure with the 18mth old???What else would you recommend?



What attractions are best for with 18mth and 5year old boys


If you want them to be calm for at least 5 years, take them on the HULK :-))





NO!! WAIT.. Just kidding!!!





I would say that Magic Kingdom is best for the 5 yo! The 18 mo will never recognise to have been there but the 5 yo will!



That is the best time for kids to visit the mouse, see the castle, meet fairies and throw pixie dust!





:-))





another great option will be seaworld. A lot of nice shows and really education (again, for the 5yo!)

Yeah i would definatley visit all the disney parks as at 5 one of your kids will love seeing the castle and the characters scattered across the parks.And your 18 month will as well.However the only rides i dont see them getting on is space mountain, thunder mountain, splash mountain, test track, mission space, rock n roller coaster, Tower of terror and everest but there are loads of other rides.I would recomend going to things like seaworld and gatorland maybe as there is a lot to do and your kids will love feeding the stingrays and watching shamu. And at gatorland your 5 year old will be able to touch the gators. A great experience.As for universal you may want to go to universal studios because there is a lot of family rides there and movie classics with really no hight restrictions.However on the other hand islands of adventure is mainly for the thrill seekers but there however is still many rides that they can do. But there are a lot of rides with hight restrictions.




Of all the parks where everyone in the family can participate in most things together, here%26#39;s the ones I would choose in this order:





1. Magic Kingdom



2. SeaWorld



3. Animal Kingdom



4. Epcot



5. Hollywood Studios




I agree with all the advise.



I went with a 22 month old last time and have been with 5yr olds.



Magic Kingdom will just amaze them and leave them speachless. Yes the 18month old wont really understand but your older son will love every minute of it.



There are loads of rides in Magic Kingdom for both boys, Animal Kingdom he will love the safari, the Boneyard and maybe the dinasour ride if he is quite a brave little boy. Kali river rapids is also a must for the 5yr old.



Hollywood studios, not really got any rides for their age, but there are some wonderful shows and it is so worth a visit.



Epcot, personally my favourite park, has some really cool rides for the boys, and also some shows. But mainly the worlds for you to wander round and also the fireworks are a must.



Sea World will leave them speachless, and you could easily spend two days here.



Personally I would not bother with Universal or IOA as there really is not much for them to do and is something I would do when they are both older.



Hope that helps, have a wonderful holiday.




Thanks for the advice everyone!
