Well I think if no park hopper, then Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Epcot.
(I would say MGM instead of Epcot though.)
- Magic Kingdom is the best park! It is a must see! The Cinderella Castle hosts many shows with Mickey, Minnie, and the rest of the gang. Also, the Disney Princesses!
- Animal Kingdom is great if your kids love animals! If they do, I suggest going on the Kilimanjaro Safari in the Africa area! I went on it and we were held up by a baby Giraffe in the road! If we reached out of the vehicle, we could touch it!!!
- I know Epcot doesn't have many places, but it is still alot of fun to watch the fireworks and the ILLUMINATION show.
If you do have a park hopper, then you should go to Epcot and Animal Kingdom on the same day. They have the less amount of things to do. So it might be a full day, but you can travel the world and go to the zoo in one day!
PS: i know you may not go to MGM, but you should see FANTASMIC! It is a great show, your kids would LOVE! I suggest seeing it at night! LOL.
PSS: I hope you all have a MAGICAL time there at Disney!

If you get the Park Hopper, Animal Kingdom can be done in half a day, then you could do a day and a half at the Magic Kingdom and then a day at Epcot. However, for young children I would skip Epcot and do MGM which has many Disney Channel favorites and a whole area devoted to kids, while Epcot is more grown up and has very few rides that your 6 year old would enjoy. Also, MGM has the absolute best night show, Fantasmic! which should not be missed.
Since you are staying at Disney, make sure to take advantage of the Extra Magic Hours. Everyday one park will be open earlier or later for Disney hotel guests only. Plan your days based on this, since those hours will be the most productive of the day. Avoid the meal plan, it has too many restrictions and you'll end up waiting in huge lines with everyone else who has a meal plan just to get a burger and fries for $1 cheaper. |

I would def go to Magic Kingdom but be warned you can't really do that park in one day. I would also do Animal Kingdom and Epcot if you plan on not going to MGM. I think the kids would enjoy Animal Kingdom and it shouldn't be too hat there this time of year as opposed to when I went in the summertime. Epcot is fun too. |

Given the age of your kids, I would suggest Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom.
Magic Kingdom will offer more ride opportunities for the oldest child and is more kid friendly with all the main characters roaming the park.
Animal Kingdom features live animals and my kids loved them. It was the one park that the kids did not want to leave at the end of the day.
Epcot is a bit more adult oriented with their shows and activities. I'm not talking as in x-rated or anything of that nature, just more cultural experiences that my kids found boring after too long. Only a few things kept my kids interested but otherwise it was a lot of walking.
I will admit, MGM had the shows that the kids talked about the most; however, there were not enough of them to keep the kids interested most of the day. |

I always liked epcot. Some of the stuff might go over the kids' heads (don't even bother with the exhibit on the presidents), but they might enjoy seeing the different countries. Last time I was there they had a lady from Japan making candy for the kids. Magic Kingdom definitely, that's where all the kid-friendly rides are. And Animal kingdom is great... it's like a zoo much larger and way better. Have fun. |

Magic Kingdom, Disney Studios and Animal Kingdom for this age group. I would plan two days in Magic Kingdom and share the day at Studios and Animal Kingdom. |

Avoid Studios like you thought. That was my 5 year old's least favorite park except for the Fantasmic show at night. Then it might be worth while to get park hooper just for that. I would at least spend a day and half if not two full days at MK. I would recommend a half day at Epcot near Nemo and the land area and perhaps a half day at AK for the safari ride and Lion King and Nemo shows.
My overall advice two days at MK and splitting the last day between AK in the morning and Epcot at night. EPCOT has a great fireworks show at night. I hope you have a wonderful time. |

Magic Kingdom + Animal Kingdom
They are definately best for your childrens ages, magic kingdom will be hard to complete in a day so you may have to miss some things but you can't take a 6&2 year old to Orlando and not go to Magic kingdom.
Animal kingdom is also perfect for your ages, still great for adults and kids lots of animals to see when your walking around. The safari is unforgettable and lots more brilliant small rides.
You'll have a great time |

Animal Kingdom. It has the ride with Mt. Everest, it is amazing, trust me. Magic Kingdom for the little ones. And Blizzard Beach, you want to go to at least 1 waterpark. |

Definitely go to Magic Kingdom then, and possibly Animal Kingdom. Those would be the best for the kids. The Park Hopper is good for 3 days, but not 2. Universal Studios is also good to go to in Orlando. |

Magic Kingdom is the obvious first choice, given the ages of the kids.
Epcot is a great park with a lot of gentle attractions that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
But Animal Kingdom is also really coming along with some wonderful shows that appeal to young kids - The Festival of the Lion King and Finding Nemo, the Musical |

DIsney can be very distressing for two year olds and this will make your six year old really irritated-- for the kids its def. the magic kingdom-- for the adults-- epcot.
PS I lived minutes away from Disneyland and had an annual pass and it cannot compete with Disneyworld -- sorry Californians, its true. |

Well, if you are staying at disney then spend the extra money on the park hopper - here's why....
The Disney transportation system is really good so getting from park to park shouldn't be an issue. With kids, you never really know what to expect so with the hopper, you have the freedom of coming and going wherever.
Magic Kingdom is a must - not only for tradition, but that is what your kids will love the most! It can be a long day, so having the ability to go for a few hours then back to the hotel for naps before returning for fireworks/light parade (if they still do it) is a nice feature.
MGM is also great, but some of the "rides" are more showy so your 2 year old won't get it or enjoy it and some of the simulators will be too much for both kids. Still, I would say a half a day here.
Epcot - well, I've always said Epcot is boring, but last year I took my daughter (who was 6) and they had an attraction called Soaring which was worth it! We did it 3 times, but not much else at Epcot.
Animal Kingdom - We were surprisingly bored here. Did the safari trip and a few others, but were out of there in 3 hours. I would have been upset if I'd paid $54 for that day.
With the hopper you can see bits and pieces and then return to what you want to see again - less pressure to cram it all in and again, with kids, either you- or them will need a break .
Have a great trip! |

not in this rain and cooler weather. |

Confetti!

MGM is great! They have lots of cool rides, trust me. I suggest the Rock n Rollercoaster.
Epcot is an educational park. It doesnt have as many rides. Your parents will probably like it better.
Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon are good parks, both are verrry fun.
Magic Kingdom is, of course, a must. :D
Animal Kingdom isnt one of my favorites, but you may like it. :)
Rides that are a must:
-Rock n Rollercoaster
-Crush n Gusher
-Space, Splash, and Thunder Mountain
-Haunted Mansion
-Tower of Terror
-And plenty more!
Plan your day ahead of time, because its hard to explore a whole park in one day! They have long lines! |

Universal has the best rides for hard core people, no exceptions.
Disney World has the best rides for ages 5-11 yrs old.
MGM also has good hard core rides, not many for little kids.
Epcot doesnt have that many rides, but mostly for bigger kids to adults. |

CHACHAAAAA =DD

well definitely disney world |
