January 7, 2024

Exploring Orlando with children is a journey filled with magic and adventures.

The city is renowned for its incredible theme parks, offering a variety of experiences for little adventurers. We understand that when planning your trip to the region with children, you may have many questions about which parks are most suitable for each age group and which ones to include in your vacation itinerary.

We want to emphasize that attempting to visit a large number of parks may not be practical if you have limited time, as especially the little ones may become tired and stressed, affecting the magic of experiencing this enchanted world.

In this article, we will delve deeper into the main parks that are worth including in your Orlando travel itinerary with children, and we’ll share our favorite attractions for the little ones.

 

Disney Magic Kingdom: The Realm of Fantasy

The park is the first mandatory stop on your journey, where magic comes to life. Children of all ages are enchanted by “It’s a Small World,” considered a masterpiece by Walt Disney.

Sing along to the classic anthem of world peace during a delightful boat ride. Float through the Seven Seaways Waterway on a gentle 10-minute journey across all seven continents, passing through fantastic scenes representing famous sights and sounds from dozens of nations.

For the little princesses, the “Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique” is a favorite, where they can transform into their favorite characters.

Don’t forget to explore Fantasyland, where encounters with characters like Beauty and the Beast and the roller coaster “Seven Dwarfs Mine Train” captivate visitors.

 

EPCOT: Ideal for Young Explorers

There are many attractions in this park that will delight children during their vacation, but you must check out the Future World section, which houses the “Frozen Ever After” attraction, taking children on a journey through the world of “Frozen.”

Certainly, the tour of Animal Kingdom will be unforgettable for your family.

Our favorite attractions for children include “TriceraTop Spin” in Dinoland U.S.A., where you’ll ride a triceratops gondola for four people and take off! Going up and down, side to side, flying to the lively soundtrack. Some prehistoric surprises may also appear along the way.

Another fantastic area for children is “Rafiki’s Planet Watch,” offering a train ride and educational interactions with animals. The magic of nature is captured in the show “UP! A Great Bird Adventure.”

Choosing the Right Magic for Your Family

Orlando is truly a paradise for families, and the variety of parks offers something for all tastes and ages.
