Hi there, Maria! Welcome back to planDisney! I'm so glad that you've stopped by with such great planning questions. I nursed my daughter (and pumped) for two and a half years and remember asking the same questions, and I am more than happy to help, my friend!
Well, it sounds as if you are on the brink of one magical adventure! Soon, you'll be arriving at
Disney's Old Key West Resort, excitedly ready to begin your magical adventure with your little one. And on Christmas Day?! Pure pixie dust! Since you already know about the oh-so-fabulous and convenient
Baby Care Centers in the theme parks, it sounds as if your planning is off to a great start. Now, let's tie up all your loose planning ends so you can sit back, relax and start your magical countdown!
I think you will be happy to hear that you can absolutely bring your pumping bag and small cooler into the theme parks. The littlest Mousketeers (and their caregivers) are VIPs at Walt Disney World Resort and especially at the Baby Care Centers, and you will find pretty much anything you may need here. Unfortunately, one thing the Baby Care Centers don't offer is storage, so you won't be able to store any personal items there. But Hakuna Matata! It means "no worries!" Let's chat about your options.
You will find
lockers available for rent at the front of each theme park, and they are super easy to rent. If you are paying with cash or a credit card, you can rent the locker directly from the self-service kiosk. You can definitely bring a reusable ice pack for your cooler, but if you need more ice, you can get complimentary ice from any Quick Service location. If you prefer to keep your pump and cooler with you, I suggest that you pack some convenient stroller hooks with you. These always came in handy for my diaper bag, park bag and endless shopping bags.
I think you will be happy to hear that Disney's Old Key West Resort does have high chairs available for your little one. On occasion, I have seen high chairs in the closet or laundry room in my Villa already upon arrival, but if you don't see one already in your room, just call the front desk to request one. It's that easy!
I hope this was helpful, Maria, and I hope you have the most magical and memorable upcoming vacation! Please stop by any time with any questions you may have along the way. You've got a friend in planDisney!
See ya real soon,
Mandy
