How do I explain that to a 4yo (who loves DLR)?!?
you show them videos for disney world also while disneyland and dca are only two parks WDW is four parks. Also don't know what state your in but show them what sate you are going to CA and FL are on the other side one is west and the other east
I agree with all this, especially getting a map! Geography is
sorely lacking in most of our schools today, and anything that gets kids interested in it at home (like locating the Disney parks
) is a plus in my book!
Then I would start by explaining that there are
4 parks in Florida - just like he/she is 4! - because Disney had a lot more space to build things there, and that Magic Kingdom is a lot like Disneyland, but there are some other parks too. Then explain about Epcot (more geography!), Animal Kingdom, and DHS.
I'm a total math geek, so I'd probably be drawing diagrams or something, but you don't have to go that far!
There are a ton of videos on line about all the parks, and I'm sure you can find a map of the resort area that shows everything together. (It might help to label it
Walt Disney World, too, so it doesn't sound as much like Disneyland.)
Definitely check
Amazon or your local library for a book geared to kids as well. When DS was 5, we had
(an older version of) this one:
