We have our annual family trip to Disney World planned at the end of May with our son, who will be 5 months old. There are 7 of us including grandma, grandpa and his uncle and aunt. Do you have any advice on how to make the most of HIS first time?”

Question

Answer 1

Hi Michael!

My wife and I have taken our sons to Walt Disney World at least once a year since they were babies. A few pointers based on our experience:

Slow down and enjoy the experience of visiting with a young child instead of running from attraction to attraction
Take your own stroller because your child will be familiar with it
Consider staying at a monorail resort or renting a car to allow you to return to your hotel quickly to take a nap, rest, etc
Consider a character meal, but don't rush character interactions until you see how your child responds
Consider ordering a custom cake for dinner one night
Do those things that your child finds most interesting.

The most important thing of all is to just have fun! I hope this helps! Write back if you have any more questions!
