BevarJ32 0 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi Guys, We are going to the Fort for a week next month with our 4 year old. We are late parents so while having been to the Fort a zillion times, never looked at the kids aspect of what to do. We would like to take a day to hang there instead of the usual parks stuff we do and let her have some campground fun. We already are planning on a pony ride and Chip and Dale but can anyone throw out some suggestions or ideas what a little girl might get a kick out of? Thanks, Boli Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Boli Many playgrounds, rent a canoe or kayak, visit the rest of the horses at the Ranch. I am sure some other will be along with more suggestions. Also checkout the Monthly activities guide http://www.fortfiends.net/_/activities/fort-wilderness-activities-schedule-march-2014-r348 That is for this month but should give you some general ideas. Most of all Welcome!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 740 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 If you aren't already renting or have a GC I would add that to the mix at least for one day our grandkids love riding around. There is also a nice splash park at the pool. Hope you have a very enjoyable time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 No kids here, but just wanted to say WELCOME! Oh also, check out the Activities section on this page and you'll see links to some detailed info on some of the activities around the Fort...http://www.fortfiends.net/_/info/site-map-find-what-you-need-here-r99 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 My little girl is also 4. She loved everything that has been listed so far. Also rent the little motor boats, let her play in the sand at the beach,play checkers and hop scotch at the meadows. Look at all the wild life let her play with the toys in front of trails end. I am sure there is more but that's all I can think of right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 :welcome: Our sweet girl just turned 7. She loves everything mentioned above. She is now too big for the pony rides (sigh), but she still loves, loves, loves: the pool, chip-n-dale and the movie (if it's G as she has a very vivid imagination :) ), the playgrounds and the hula hoops they have in front of the Trails End (restaurant). She also loves watching the boat parade at night and fireworks (from MK).... both down at the beach. Have a magical time!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Travisma 1,317 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Our granddaughters had a great time on the evening wagon rides. The 5 year old liked the pony ride, the 8 year old is now too tall. If she can ride a bike let her ride around, let her set the pace. Fishing? The granddaughters loved it. Let her play at every playground. If it's warm enough the meadow pool has a great kiddie section. They have arts and crafts at the meadow pool every day. Take a ride over to Animal Kingdom Lodge, they have more kid activities then you can imagine.Above all have fun and let her be a kid! Throw out any schedules you have made before you arrived.

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 As a parent of a 4 year old, I agree with all of the above suggestions. I also suggest you check out Mickey's Backyard BBQ if it's in your budget. The weather should be perfect for it, and it is some AWESOME character interaction. If you don't know much about it, there are pictures in my April TR and I did a separate review the year before. Yes, my son loved it so much one year that we HAD to do it the next. It's expensive, but do consider that it includes tip, tax, adult drinks, and unlimited Mickey bars. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
