Review :I was very unsure about taking a 4 year old to the theme parks because some of my friends had said that she was too young and that she wouldn't be able to go on any of the rides.We had decided on getting the Disney 7 day Premium ticket which in the end was just what we needed.
We went there in the morning and while my husband took the boys of and they did the rides that had height restrictions I took our daughter round.We headed straight over to Fantasyland and went to" it's a small world" and she was really enjoying herself singing along with the song.There is still all the favourites still there such as Mad Tea party and Dumbo the Flying Elephant but also some new ones and we both enjoyed Mickey's PhilharMagic which has Donald Duck in a 3d musical which only Disney can do so well.She was a little bit scared of the Wicked Queenin Snow White's adventures but it was all smiles at the end .
The rest of the family headed straight for Frontierland and went on Splash mountain and then on to Thunder Mountain railroad which of course the boys loved and had to go on a couple of times.They really enjoyed the Haunted Mansion and Tom Sawyer island.Mind you they did not waste too much time and they were off to Adventureland because they had seen the film Pirates of the Caribbean they had to go on the ride to see if it was the same and it was.
By the time we met up in Main Street to see the Parade my husband could have done with a nap himself, every one enjoyed the parade.Mind you by then our daughter was asleep and as had the 7 day ticket we went back to our villa and just came back the next day to see everything we didn't have time too do.

Big thumbs up for Magic Kingdom. Thought it would only for the very young children but rides like Big Thunder Mountain older kids will love! Any kids up to 11 years old will be in dream world here. I’ve heard this park is always busy either side of the weekends on a Friday and Monday. Most other days should be fine.
Must see / Do:
The Haunted Mansion. You can’t imagine a good haunted ride until you go to somewhere like Disney. They are a class above over there. Ideal for children 7-11.

I’ve got a little one of 18 months old and Magic Kingdom was one of the best parks for him. There was plenty of interaction of some of the attractions like Buzz Lightyear and Peter Pan really got him involved.
Must see / Do:
Make sure you meet as many characters as you can. The kids love it! Also Winnie The Pooh is well worth a look.
