10 Best Children's Activities at Walt Disney World
By Cara Goldsbury
I'm sure you all know about Disney World's amazing theme parks, but are you familiar with the myriad fascinating activities for children offered throughout Walt Disney World that are either complimentary or offered for a reasonable fee to Disney resort guests? Here are some of the best:
1. Snag a Bass on a Kid's Fishing Excursion
Two-hour angling trips for up to five guests are available from 12 resort marinas. For miles of shore fishing, head over to Disney's Fort Wilderness where cane poles and rods and reels may be rented at the Bike Barn in the Meadow Recreation Area. Fishing excursions start at $200. Call 407-939-BASS for reservations.
2. Enjoy the Old West
Hayrides depart each evening from Pioneer Hall at Fort Wilderness for a 45-minute trip. Very tame, cowboy-guided trail rides are also offered, or younger children can opt for a pony ride at the Fort Wilderness Petting Farm. No reservations taken. Reservations are required and may be made up to two weeks in advance by calling 407-WDW-PLAY.
3. Sing-Along in Front of the Campfire
Families gather round the campfire each evening at Fort Wilderness for a sing-along, marshmallow roast and a Disney animated movie. Complimentary to all Walt Disney World resort guests.
4. Watch the Electrical Water Pageant Parade
Nightly on the Seven Seas Lagoon is a delightful 1,000-foot string of illuminated barges featuring King Neptune and his court of whales, sea serpents and other deep-sea creatures. The free show can be seen from the beaches of Disney's Polynesian, Grand Floridian, Contemporary and Wilderness Lodge resorts.
