We all know that Disney World is a magical place filled with fairy dust and fueled on the laughter and happiness of children. It happens to be one of our favorite places, and when I say “our” I mean my husband and I.

For some reason, it seems like since we had children we just haven’t had the time or money to go. Nonetheless, we love Disney and our girls desperately want to go.

We are actually planning on surprising them with a couple days in Disney World in June, as a side trip on a surprise visit to Orlando. I plan on filming them when we tell them. Stay tuned. I am pretty sure that my 7–year-old might just faint on the spot and my 4-year-old, I am fairly positive that she will do a happy dance along with some woohoo!’s followed by some “You’re the best mommy I ever had!” I can’t wait.

But it made me think, with only two days to blow my little girls’ minds, I better figure out what the coolest things to do at Disney World with little kids actually is.

  • The Magic Kingdom and the Main Street electrical parade and fireworks
  • Explore Cinderella’s castle
  • Meet the Princesses and get their autographs
  • Go see Cirque du Soleil
  • Take a Ride on a Fringe-Topped Surrey, family style
  • Sushi and Karaoke at the Swan and Dolphin
  • Go to the Sci-Fi Dine-in Theater at MGM
  • Pirates of the Caribbean
  • It’s a Small World
  • Mad Tea Party

I am sure there are loads more that I am forgetting, but for right now, these are on my list.

What  do you recommend as a must see at Disney World for a 4 and 7 year old?

    Buzz Light Year’s ride is an absolute must. We even enjoy eating at the toy story themed pizza parlor… which actually has some decent salads! Do not take your 6 year or younger kiddos on the haunted mansion ride. My daughter begged to go last Christmas because they had it decorated for the nightmare before Christmas… and she was terrified. We had to go on another ride to salvage the evening!

    Having a meal with the princesses or another character like Mickey or Pooh Bear is also great – my kids loved that. They also loved the parades and getting the characters’ autographs in the special autograph books we purchased at the park.
