Walt Disney World Resort
This location speaks for itself when it comes to the activities available for toddlers. The resort includes four theme parks--Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. Although there are activities for toddlers at each of these parks, perhaps Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom would interest them the most. Magic Kingdom includes rides featuring classic characters, such as Dumbo, Snow White and Peter Pan. Animal Kingdom allows them to get an up-close look at lions, monkeys, zebra and other animals they know from pictures and TV. One of the nice things about staying in the Walt Disney World Resort is that there are five different golf courses at the resort on which you can play.

Wet 'N Wild
Wet 'N Wild Orlando is one of the premier water parks in the world. The park is designed to give toddlers, school age children and adults equally opportunities to be entertained. Kids enjoy playing on the Bubble Up, which features a giant bubble they can climb with the aid of a rope. When they reach the top, they turn around and slide down. Although some toddlers are able to manage the Black Hole--which is a dark enclosed slide for two--if your toddler is afraid of the dark, heights or speed, it is best to skip this slide.

SeaWorld Orlando
SeaWorld is a fun place to visit with toddlers because it allows them the opportunity to see fish and marine life up close while also giving them the chance to ride some of the rides available in the park. Toddlers also find that it is a lot of fun playing in the walk-through fountains. They will be mesmerized by Shamu. If they do not like getting wet, be sure to stay out of the "Splash Zone" at Shamu stadium, which includes the front 16 rows.
