Hi Meghan! Welcome to planDisney!
Walt Disney World Resort with little ones truly is a "whole new world" but it is certainly a magical and memorable one! You and your family are going to have such a wonderful time exploring all there is to see and do throughout the four mesmerizing Theme Parks, two splashtastic Water Parks, and the incredible shopping, dining, and entertainment district of
Disney Springs.
What I love most about Walt Disney World is that it was made as a place for families to have fun
together, so there are quite a few rides that the entire family can enjoy. You'll find that these rides have no height requirement, meaning even the youngest member of your party can be carried on! Some of my toddler's favorites are
"it's a small world" and Peter Pan's Flight and
Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is a great breezy ride when the little one needs a rest!
While it is definitely a personal preference on leaving your stroller alone while you're taking in the rides and attractions, you'll find that most ride queues do not allow strollers to enter the lines and instead will have designated "stroller parking" nearby. It's a great idea to add something bright and personal to your stroller so that you can easily find it when you exit the attraction. Many Guests add nameplates, colorful ties or ribbons, or even a balloon for easy stroller-spotting! Cast Members may move your stroller to a slightly different spot based on operational needs, so you'll be thankful you have a way to easily find it.
I've never had an issue with
leaving my stroller outside an attraction while I rode, but if you don't want to leave personal items, like a diaper bag, outside you're welcome to grab that and bring it on most attractions with you. Many attractions, especially those with no height requirement, have space near your feet where you can store the bag while riding.
If you forget any necessities while visiting make sure to stop by the
Baby Care Centers located within each Theme Park. Here, you'll find a cool and comfortable place to change your baby, high chairs for feeding, rocking chairs for nursing, and even a small store with some diapers, wipes, and other things you may need for your little one!
Have a magical trip, Meghan!
