How many days do you need for Disney with a toddler?

For people who want a toddler-focused trip, this is how you might want to split up your days. For a 3-day trip, do 2 days at Magic Kingdom and then either Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom. For a 4-day trip, do 2 days at Magic Kingdom, 1 day at Hollywood Studios and 1 day at Animal Kingdom.

Sort of depends on your 4 year old. AK has lots to do; Safari, River Journey, Bugs Life, lots of animals to look at. Epcot also has stuff but it isn't really designed for toddlers. The Pavilions all have something suitable, Frozen and Ratatouille are great but not much else in the world showcase.

Under 3 with no ticket can just go with the rest of their group in the lightning lane line, tell the staff at the scanners that the child is under 3.

Some of these attractions can have significant wait times throughout the day so it may be worth it if those are some of your child's favorite attractions. If you think your child will be more interested in attractions that don't have Lightning Lanes, then you could probably skip purchasing Disney Genie+ for them.
