Have 2 year old twins-wait time for preschool attractions/WDW?

Wondering what the wait time is with a set of b/g twins. They are 2 1/2 years old. I went to the wdw site and I see all the attractions for the little ones at Magic Kingdom but wondered what the wait times were with 2 busy kids! thanks!!

It depends on when you are going. If you're going during the summer, holidays, or Spring Break, the lines will be very long,even at the "kiddie" attractions. If you go off season, there will be virtually no wait at all.
Please keep in mind most rides at Disney usually don't have an age requirement as much as they have a height requirement.

Also what is the height requirement for kids? Mine are 32 and 36 inches (approx,)...I dont think they qualify...........but well do the kiddie attractions................
We are staying at Omni Championsgate outside of Orlando about 15 min.and the JW Marriott the last nite.....(no more rooms available at Omni since we decided to add a nite on)....Will post a trip report when I return. I have already been to WDW 5 times........

You've been to WDW 5 times and you're asking *us* what the wait time is?!? Sounds like you have more expertise. Check out the fastpass system. You might also invest in a guidebook that discusses wait times and touring plans to get the most out of WDW, such as the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World.

I am usually not sure what the wait time will be until I walk up to the ride and look at the "Wait Time: __" sign...I usually go early and make a beeline for what I want to go on most like Peter Pan, Small World, etc, even if the Pirates has a long line, it is inside in the A/C.

Wait times move quickly at the constant motion rides (think Small World).

The lines for actual rides will be long. Plan on an hour plus for most attractions.

Use fastpass - go over to www.allears.net for a list and also height requirements. We have been before during peak summer season, it is doable. Go early, when everyone gets tired go back to hotel and get in the pool and nap, then go back later. Your parking receipt is good for all parks, and all day. Start at the back of the park. Take water, hats, sunblock. When you enter find out where the first aid/ child care centers are. these are HAVENS of quiet and cool where you can relax for a few minutes and rock your babies. TALK to people in line and get ideas from other parents. Go slow - let your kids set the pace. you will have fun! We usually go the last week of August, the place is practically empty then!
RIGHT NOW - go to allears.net and read the tips for WDW with toddlers. You will have a great time!
