If you stay for the fireworks the best spot to watch is from the noodle station terrace.
If you get there early enough to eat breakfast you can get into the park before it opens if you make reservations at the crystal palace for breakfast. Then you can take pictures of your family standing in front of the castle on main street without anyone else in the picture.
Take advantage of the fast passes they'll save you a lot of time.

Excellent suggestion. I knew they were out there. Thanks!

I just took my 3yo Daughter this past weekend for the first time. We went to Disney Studios the first day. We were questioned how old she was. We told them 2. The person at the gate didnt believe us, but let her in no prob. We had Breakfast with the Jojo, Goliath, June and Leo from Little Einstiens. She had a blast cause those are her favorite cartoons. That and to see Little Mirmaid show was the best. 2nd day in Disney was amazing. Lines were a bit long but weather was amazing. If I were to do it over, I would spend 2 days in Disney, split the park in half each day and get her on more rides and attractions. One day in the Magic Kingdom is not enought time. Have fun!

At 3 years old, there isn't a whole lot of advice to give, just remember, you are going there for your son. If you want to eat with characters, if you have not made reservations, make them now. Fast passes are always a smart idea. If there are rides that you or your wife want to go on, remember to get a fast pass and/or look for single rider lines, Everest and Rockin' Roller Coaster have them. Make sure to bring a stroller if you have one, the rental can get expensive, but it gives you a place to put your stuff. Aside from that, it depends on where you are staying, and how many days you are planning on staying up there for. Most importantly, have fun and take lots of pictures.

Another thing to try is to have your wife stand in back of the line, or stand in line of another ride as you and your son are on a ride, and then pass your son off to her in line and you go wait in another line to cut down on your wait time and your son can get more rides in.... Sort of like playing leap frog... and try to take advantage of the Fastpass. Get your fastpasses as soon as you can. It really helps speed things up.

Splitting the Magic Kingdom into two days is a great idea, especially at that age.I have two older children (teens) and we usually split the day in half, going in the morning when it opens then heading back to the room for lunch and a nap. Then we will go back for the afternoon and evening hours. Staying on Disney property is a great time saver. The transportation system is so much easier and quicker than dealing with the car and the cost of parking. If you book now, you can get a good rate (under $100) on the value resorts onsite like the All Star resorts. I am always amazed at the cleanliness of everything. We are there about 4 or 5 times a year and it never gets old. The best advice is to have fun and don't be in a hurry. Enjoy every minute.

We used to go year after year until my kids got into Universal and then I got overdosed on theme parks. So this info is dated, but I think it's all still valid. Hope you and others can pick and choose what works for you.

1. We got a Florida resident annual pass and used this for 2 week long vacations a year apart (minus one week), plus took a few long weekends in between. That made the price per day ridiculously low and trust me, Disney is such fun, you won't get tired of it for a long time.

2. We stayed at on-site Disney hotels for the wonderful transportation and early admission benefits. We stayed at value (OK if you don't care about having fun in the pool as they are very dull), moderate (my favorite because rates are reasonable and the pools are like a water park for young kids), and deluxe (nice, but not always worth it). Our favorite is Port-Orleans/Riverside which allows you to go to two incredibly fun pool areas that are fun for an adventurous 3 year old.

3. Eat breakfast in your room, go early, hit the rides with the slowest moving lines first, then around noon grab a fast pass before hiding out in an air-conditioned sit-down restaurant where you have already arranged reservations. After lunch, we used the fast pass, then went back to the hotel and relaxed at the pool to unwind. We generally ate a light dinner at the hotel cafeteria then went back to the park for fireworks or the electric light parade and a few more rides. For lunches in the Magic Kingdom, we loved the Crystal Palace for a kid friendly buffet or Tony's Town Square for Italian. At Epcot, the coolest restaurant is the Coral Reef restaurant with it's huge aquarium. We splurged with an expensive mid-day meal and ate cheaply at the hotel or from a vendor at night.

4. If your son likes characters (some are afraid of them), schedule the last seating at
Chef Mickey's character breakfast (instead of lunch) or do the Crystal Palace lunch buffet (I assume they still have the Pooh characters.) This is alot more relaxing than waiting in line for the characters.

5. WARNING!! Disney is the ultimate marketing machine. Most rides will exit into a gift shop themed around that ride. Be forewarned and agree with your wife beforehand on how you plan to handle it. The merchandise is often fabulous and mom's want to spend as much or more than the kids. You can have your purchases sent to your on-site hotel.

6. The best advice is not about the park, but about having fun as a family. Be prepared that anyone in your party may get tired or cranky, so don't be tempted to force everyone on... the goal is really to enjoy each other's company - not to hit every ride in one day. Leave room in your schedule for sitting in the shade and having an ice-cream or whatever.

Have fun!
