Hiya, Rachel!
Welcome to planDisney! One of my favorite things about Walt Disney World Resort is that there is something for everyone to enjoy, even the tiniest of travelers. It's never too early to experience the magic. I am sure this will be the start of many magical trips and that you will create a lifetime of memories together.
A young child can ride any of the
attractions that do not have height requirements. They can even happily enjoy the ride in your lap! You can take flight on
Dumbo the Flying Elephant or dive deep on
Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid. After you finish riding your favorite attractions your young one can meet
Mickey Mouse on Main Street U.S.A. And I have great news! Traditional Character Greetings are
making their way back to the parks this month. So your little one can hi-five Mickey Mouse or give hugs if they are comfortable. Now that's a special moment! If there are some must-do experiences on your list that are on the more adventurous side, you can enjoy the
Rider Switch Service if you are traveling with another adult. This is a great way for both adults to enjoy their favorite drops and dark rides. Just let a friendly Cast Member at the attraction entrance know you would like to use the service. When one adult is done riding, you switch spots. No extra wait time, no missing out.
Because you are traveling with a young one, I also want to mention the
Baby Care Centers you will find in each of the four theme parks. These locations are wonderful hidden gems that have everything you need or forgot to pack for your adventure. Diapers, sunscreen, and even snacks are available in these spots. This was particularly helpful for my Ohana when we traveled to EPCOT with a young one and the diaper bag was left behind at the hotel. These things happen to even the best of planners. In addition to baby supplies, you will find private nursing rooms, changing stations, and feeding areas complete with high chairs and microwaves. Having a quiet, air-conditioned space to feed your little one and change a diaper can be a real lifesaver during a long day at the parks. You can find the location of each theme park's Baby Care Center in the
My Disney Experience app.
I hope that your trip is memorable and magical!
We'll see ya real soon!
