    Planning a trip Sept 12-17, 2011. Our son will be 10 months old and was just wondering if we should even be attempting this trip due to lack of naps, fussiness, heat and being unable to ride anything. We are going with some family.

    Hi Jeremy!

    Are you kidding?!  I think it will be a great time to go!  Yes, it will be warm, but the heat is very manageable, and your son will have a great time enjoying ALL the sights and sounds! 

    Walt Disney imagined Walt Disney World with the family in mind.  There will only be a handful of rides your son will not be able to enjoy at his age. 

    Here's a quick list:

    Magic Kingdom:
    Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
    Splash Mountain
    Space Mountain
    Stitch's Great Escape
    Tomorrowland Indy Speedway (requires riders to be over 1 year old)

    Epcot:
    Soarin'
    Mission: Space
    Test Track

    Disney's Hollywood Studios:
    Tower of Terror
    Rock 'n' Roller Coaster
    Star Tours

    Disney's Animal Kingdom:
    Expedition Everest
    Dinosaur
    Primeval Whirl
    Kali River Rapids

    We've traveled with children at many ages under a year old--7 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, 6 months...and have enjoyed each trip.  We usually manage morning nap in the stroller, and then head back to the resort for a solid afternoon nap.  We also stick as closely as possible to their 'normal' schedule, and believe it or not, traveling with infants is SOOO much easier than traveling with toddlers (and sometimes 4 year olds!)
