[quote=Anonymous]Former Disney employee here:  you're going at a very busy time so you're going to have to be flexible and very patient.  What rides you want to go on is very kid dependent but the lines for certain things will be quite long.

If you have a ride that's a big priority, go to the park as early as you can and ride it first thing.  You're going to have to decide if Lightning Lane is worth the cost to you.

I don't know what your kids heights are but you can see what they qualify for here: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/parks/height-requirements/

My personal experience is young kids like the "play" rides like Buzz Lightyear and Toy Story Mania best and the silly joke stuff like Jungle Cruise and Monsters Inc Laugh Floor. But that's kid dependent.  Magic Kingdom particularly has quite a few "dark rides" (you ride past set pieces) like Peter Pan and Winnie the Pooh that get crazy lines but if your kids aren't into the movies it may not be worth the wait.

Hollywood Studios has more show attractions (Frozen Singalong, Indiana Jones) in additional to rides.

The one thing to remember with young kids, is that the money has been spent and pushing your kids if they're tired or overwhelmed isn't going to make the experience worth it.  I can't tell you the number of times I've seen parents get upset at their kids because they spent all this money and their kid is over the crowds, lines, or Florida weather and doesn't want to do anything.  Keep everyone hydrated, try to roll with it and give your kids breaks if they need it.[/quote]
