What's best for under 6s

[Cottage]

Travelling to Florida with 2 under 6s for 1st time. What are the best things to do with them? Also are they ok on UK booster seats in car?

[marg21]

well all the parks will have something in them 4 that age group but it really does depend on wot sort off things they wanna do eg do they like rides fast or slow,do they like the water?

They love water. 3 year old likes gentler rides (not keen on dark) 5 year old similar but starting to get braver, did Star Tours in Paris.

My daughter who was 2 at the time loved the Magic Kingdom and the shows. There is lots for the younger ones to do. She also enjoyed MGM because there was Playhouse Disney, Beauty and the Beast and the Little Mermaid. She also enjoyed anything with animals so Animal Kingdom, Busch Gardens and Sea World were good places to visit.

It really depends what parks intrest them.... and you!!

There is the Orlando 14 dat flex ticket 4/5 park which is excellent value for money giving you entrance to both Universal Parks, Sea World and Wet n Wild water park - the 5th park is Busch Gardens

Alternatively you can get the disney passes

Welcome to the ATD family, Cottage! :)

All of the parks have a children's play area and you may be surprised at how many of the attractions are preschooler-friendly. The exception is at Islands of Adventure, where many of the rides will have height requirements that may limit your options. But they do have the wonderful Seuss Landing, which is tailor made for the under-7 crowd.

I'm biased toward the Disney water parks with younger children, as most of the slides are do-able for the 5-6 year old range (Wet 'n Wild is fun too, but has more slides that may not suit youngsters). Blizzard Beach has the wonderful Ski Patrol Training Camp and the less high-energy Tykes Peak, made just for tots. There are several double-tube slides in case the children want to ride with Mum or Dad. Typhoon Lagoon has Ketchakiddee Creek and also has a couple of scaled-down slides right at the corner edge of the wave pool so Mum can watch the children play while Dad enjoys the big waves, then they can trade off without having to split up (at least, not by a big distance). There is also a warm run-off area at the front of the wave pool where younger children can splash with confidence.

You may also want to consider places like Green Meadows Petting Farm, Disney's Fort Wilderness petting farm (with pony rides) and the gentler experience at Gatorland, which now has Gator Gully (temporarily closed, but should be re-opening soon if it hasn't already).

Enjoy! Orlando has a lot to offer families with youngsters in tow!

UK booster seats are also fine. Many people bring them (but you need to check with your airline to see if they count as part of your luggage allowance - a few of them are mean enough to do so).
