Best Amusement Parks For Families

Location: Orlando, FL

What to Expect: The Happiest Place on Earth! To say that Disney World is a serious undertaking is a huge understatement. The Magic Kingdom alone is 107 acres. Unless you live in Orlando, this is a vacation — not a day trip. Disney is divided into four unique theme parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom — plus, two water parks.

For the Lil Ones: There's perhaps no other theme park in the country that accommodates kids of all ages as well as Disney does. Even if they're too little to go on most of the rides, your tots will love the character breakfasts, seeing Cinderella's castle, and the more than 1,700 animals at Animal Kingdom. And for those looking for something a bit smaller, Disneyland (in Anaheim, CA) will be the perfect spot for your Cars-loving tot starting next week, when it opens Cars Land packed with rides, dining, and shopping based on the popular movie characters.
