The roller coaster winds round the boat ride. I have never seen them in other Disney parks.

Casey Jr (the circus train from Dumbo) and Le pays des contes de fées (Storybook boat ride). There are also often lots of unscheduled characters appearing in this area which is a bonus!

I believe these two may be shut when the OP is there. Which is a shame as they're lovely little rides. They're shut when we're there this time.

Oooh, nice! Thank you. I'm sure I read they were closed! Must've been imagining it!

I've been when my sons were 3 and 1 and then again at 5 and 2. We found it best to have big sit down meals at lunch and so when they were tired at the end of the day, we just grabbed an earl of sandwich to eat in the hotel room. It also broke the day up.

We tended to do more in the mornings and not do evenings as they were tired by that point. We also limited queuing to no more than 20-30 min waits and even then, having snacks we bought from home.

We did the fireworks on arrival day which worked well. They get more tired as time goes on.
