Hey howdy hey, Madison! You’ve got a friend in me here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I’m so excited for your upcoming visit to the
Happiest Place on Earth! You’re going to make so many magical memories with your daughters. There’s nothing I love more than watching my little Mouseketeers soak in the magic of meeting their favorite Characters or experience their favorite attractions!
Yes, you're welcome to bring your daughter’s bottles inside a cooler with an ice pack. You’ll want to keep the
Disneyland Resort Rules in mind while you’re packing, though. For starters, glass containers aren’t allowed inside the parks, excluding small containers used for baby food jars. Your bags, coolers, and backpacks can’t exceed 24” long x 15” wide x 18” high, though there isn’t a limit on how many bags or coolers you may bring with you. Also, loose or dry ice isn’t allowed inside these containers, so I recommend using a re-usable ice pack to keep your bottles cold. When I visit the parks with my little ones, I typically pack their water bottles, fruit snacks, food pouches, crackers, and granola bars, so they can snack on-the-go.
Another important size restriction is for strollers – you may want to measure ahead to make sure your stroller is no larger than 31” wide by 52” long. Most strollers (including my double-wide stroller) fit within these dimensions, but it doesn't hurt to check. If your stroller is too large, or you decide to travel without it, you can always rent a single or double stroller at
Stroller Rentals, located just outside the Main Entrance of Disneyland Park, adjacent to the Kennel.
Once you arrive, you’re going to want to get familiar with the
Baby Care Centers, located inside each park. Inside
Disneyland Park, you can find the Center located at the end of Main Street, U.S.A., and inside
Disney California Adventure Park, the Center is located on Pacific Wharf. These Centers are the perfect spot to change, feed, or nurse in a peaceful setting. Plus, if you forgot any baby necessities, such as diapers, wipes, bottles, or pacifiers, you’ll find all of those items and more inside the handy vending machines.
Lastly, don’t forget to download the
Disneyland app, which is my favorite handy helper inside the parks! My family enjoys using it to check attraction wait times, find our favorite Characters, make
dining reservations, and mobile order food.
Wishing you and your family pixie-dusted adventures at the Disneyland Resort!
