"Must Do" experiences with a 24 month old

[WDWOswald]

I'm looking forward to experiencing Disney with my 24 month old son. What are some "can't miss" experiences to do with him?

Can't go wrong with just about anything in Fantasyland for that age.

We like to hold our first haircuts until Disney. So if your child hasn't had theirs, yet, call Disney Dining to book an appt at the Main Street Barber Shop.

My kids loved the Disney Jr. show at DHS when they were that age. My back and legs didn't, but the kids did.

There is so much for little ones to go on, than not. We are bringing my 18 month old niece in September for her first trip. We are so excited to see our favorite place through her eyes. We booked her 1st haircut package at Harmony Barbershop, a few character meals - Garden Grill, Akershus and Cape May Cafe. We are bringing her to Hoop Dee Doo with us, yay! She'll be able to go on everything except for the bigger rides. Just being there is enough to make it a great trip.

I hope you have a magical trip with your son.

I would not take a 2 year old on Ellen's Energy Adventure. 45 minutes is a long time for a toddler to sit still and be quiet and leaving early isn't an option.

Teacups! It was our first ride in dlr with dd, and she absolutely loved it! Her smile and laughs were so amazing. I've never been a huge teacups person, but I will ride it anytime now just to see her light up like that

Ours loved Dumbo. Couldn't get enough. Rode it like 5 times in a row!

Our two year old loved the stage shows, especially Finding Nemo at AK, and the dark rides like the Little Mermaid and Winnie the Pooh. She also loved the play areas, especially the one in Dinoland at AK and Bruce's area in the Living Seas at Epcot.

Don't miss the Parades, find a good spot and enjoy the parade through the eyes of your child. Very memorable experience! Stage shows and boat rides (Jungle Cruise, Liberty Belle).

During nap time, I used to go into the Hall of Presidents.

And don't forget stopping by the Baby Care Center, between Casey's Corner and Crystal Palace. This place is a little hidden gem!

Any playground or water splash area can seem like their favorite part of WDW

But it's good for all of they can burn off some of that extra energy.

Blizzard Beach has a great area for younger kids.

Our first Disney trip was all about characters. We weren't sure if our LO would want to meet the characters, but we knew he would enjoy seeing them, so I made reservations at character meals. If your child doesn't want the characters to come near, then the hostess will let them know to skip your table. Our kid was psyched about them though and had a great time! He also LOVED Disney Jr Live on Stage - it was truly magical seeing his expression.
He loved Dumbo and the carousel as well.
