We'll be going to WDW in mid October and DS will be just shy of 3. Currently he still sleeps in a crib at home, so we're trying to figure out what to do for sleeping arrangements for him on the trip. He's way too big for a pack n play, so that's not an option, and my brother will be traveling with DH, DS and myself, and I can't see DH and DB sharing a bed (though who knows, that may be a possibility lol), otherwise I'd just have DH take one bed and DS and I share the other. I've been looking into some baby gear rental places (this is what we do when we visit my parents in Florida) and I was wondering if anyone has ever used A Baby's Best Friend to rent items from? Their prices look pretty comparable to what we pay when visiting Naples, so I'm good with that. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with them?

Someone on here had suggested one of those toddler blow up beds, which I really like the idea of, but I don't see DS staying in it.

Also, we're staying at the WL in a courtyard view room, do you think there would be any issue with fitting the crib in there. We've stayed there plenty of times, and I think it would fit between the bed and the doorwall, but for some reason I'm having a really hard time picturing it right now (guess it's been too long since our last trip ;) )

Thanks! :mickey:

Haven't used them but used Orlando crib rental. We had a great experience. Delivered the full size crib right to our room and set it up for us. They were quick and friendly, would use them again if we needed it.

We stayed in a moderate room at POR and it fit fine, was a little tight with the crib but we are just in the room for nights and naps.

Ok, just as an FYI for anyone other there thinking of doing this, I found out that Disney only lets certain companies do drop off and pick up with the hotel, otherwise you have to be there for drop off and pick up. I found out the Kingdom Strollers is one of the companies they allow to just drop off, so I decided to go with them.
