Of course, Magic Kingdom will be #1 for my girls (age 5 and almost 3), but of these parks which do you think would appeal to young kids?

MGM Studios
Animal Kingdom
SeaWorld

Thanks for you input!

My kids were 5 and 2 on our last trip, and their favorite park is Epcot. MGM is a half day park for us, unless we're going to Fantasmic. We like Animal Kingdom, but it's not really a whole day either, it gets so hot over there. Haven't done SeaWorld, so I can't comment on that one.

Hope this helps!

We had a really great time at the Animal Kingdom the last time we were there...My ds is a huge animal lover so naturally, he loved it! The Lion King show was fantastic and we also had fun in the dinosaur area of the park. It does get hot there, but we took our time and really explored all of the attractions much more than we had in the past. (Taking a break in the Rainforest Cafe for breakfast or lunch is a nice respite from the sun and heat) I think this park is ideal if you are willing to take the time with each attraction and don't expect a lot of rides for the little ones.

I've never been to the Sea World in Orlando, but we used to have one nearby and also loved it. MGM is a lot of fun, too.

Hope this helps,

Animal Kingdom is actually our favourite of all the parks and we always spend at least one day there if not more (our dd is 8 now, she was 6 on our first visit and a huge animal lover)

It's not a park you can rush around as it's very spread out, but there is lots to do and see.

I haven't been to Sea World in Orlando but we have been to the one in San Diego when DD was around 2yrs. She loved that too,and so did we, but I would say that there is more stuff to "watch" at Sea World than to actually do and with youger kids keeping them interested in sitting through the shows is harder.

I've read in several different guides&/or sites, that they recommend splitting up.
