- Schedule visits to the parks first thing in the morning. It’s usually not as hot or crowded.
- Stay on Disney property! This makes going back to the room for a rest much easier.
- Bring your own stroller. Your child will be used to their own seat and you’ll also have it when outside the theme parks. It’s also nice to have the reclining feature for napping.
- Check if Rider Switch is available on the attractions they’re too young to participate in.
- Make use of the Baby Care Centers. They’re quiet refuges for parents and little ones. Enjoy private nursing rooms with rocking chairs, feeding stations with high chairs, a kitchenette with sink & microwave, and a small store with diapers and formula. There is one Baby Care Center in each park:
- Magic Kingdom – located behind the Crystal Palace Restaurant
- EPCOT – located in the Odyssey Center
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios – found at Guest Relations in the front of the park
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom – near Creature Comforts in the Safari Village
- Consider renting a car. The Disney transportation options are more than adequate, but quick exits are often easier for both baby and parents. Often, bus rides can be very long, especially if you’re wrangling sleeping kids, strollers, bags and more.
- Character photos with baby are great treasured keepsakes. Be mindful that the characters are very large and can be intimidating to some children. Character meals are a great way to provide interaction in a calmer setting.
- Bring your own snacks! Little baggies or containers of their favorite things can be a lifesaver, especially when waiting in long lines. Kids get hungry at a moments’ notice!
- Keep them hydrated! Always have water available – it gets HOT in Florida!
- Lastly, have fun. Go at your children’s pace and enjoy the World from their perspective.
