Greetings, Brian, and thanks for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I’m so excited for your upcoming stay at the
Disneyland Hotel! You’re going to have so much fun exploring this classic, yet modern hotel. It’s my favorite
spot to stay with my family at the
Disneyland Resort. As the mom of three Mouseketeers who never slept well in a Pack ‘n Play, I have asked for a full-size crib at the Disneyland Hotel, and received it. The hotel usually carries a limited number of full-size cribs upon request, so you’ll want to make a notation on your reservation by calling (714) 956-6425 ahead of time. I’d also suggest calling the day before your arrival to check on availability, since cribs are issued on a first-come, first-served basis.
If a full-size crib isn’t available, you may still ask for a Pack ‘n Play, if this is a good option for your little one. You may also rent a full-size crib from an outside company that works with the Disneyland Resort, such as the Traveling Baby Company, and they can drop off a crib on your day of arrival, and even set it up inside your room. They also offer stroller rentals if needed. Or, you can opt to
rent a stroller from the Disneyland Resort, too, just outside the Main Entrance of Disneyland Park.
We had no trouble fitting the full-size crib in the corner of our hotel room at the Disneyland Hotel, and our little one enjoyed a wonderful night’s sleep! We also brought our baby’s favorite blanket to cuddle to make the crib as familiar as possible, which also helped.
Once you’re inside the sparks, I recommend getting familiar with the
Baby Care Centers, which can be found inside both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. Inside Disneyland, the Baby Care Center is located at the end of Main Street, U.S.A., and inside Disney California Adventure Park, there’s a Center on Pacific Wharf. These Centers are the perfect spot to feed, change, or nurse your little one. You can also purchase baby necessities, like diapers and wipes, from the handy vending-style machines. I’m a big fan of utilizing the Centers inside both theme parks!
You’re going to make so many magical memories with your family at the Happiest Place on Earth in just a few short weeks! Please stop by with any additional planning questions you may have. Here’s the
Entertainment Schedule for your day of arrival so you can start planning now!
Wishing you many magical adventures!
