best disney world stops for preschoolers

This is an arcade style ride, with "laser beam guns" to fire at aliens. The aliens are brightly colored, and not scary (though you might want to take an adult ride through first, just in case). The line moves quickly, and the ride is fun for all ages.

This interactive show is a must for any preschooler with a "DIsney Channel" at home. The current lineup features Mickey Mouse, Little Einsteins, My Friends Tigger and Pooh, and Handy Manny. This attraction is in Disney's Hollywood Studios, and you can often meet some playhouse disney characters as you exit the show.

In the heart of Fantasyland, Dumbo is thrilling to little ones--if the line is too long, head to Adventureland for the same type of ride, but with Magic Carpets instead of Dumbos....and much shorter wait times!

Adored by toddlers and preschoolers everywhere, this Fantasyland staple is a must ride (and the lines are usually short as well)

Families with little kids tend to skip the innoventions buildings in EPCOT, but there are some great activities for preschoolers (and the whole family). Don't miss the real firetruck and fire safety demo, the garbage truck (really!), or the "What's Your Problem?" Velcro display, kids of all ages will enjoy these, and it is a great way to get out of the heat!
