Hey there, Abigail, and welcome to planDisney!
I love that you want to see the magic of Disney World through the eyes of your little one. As much as I love taking my young boys to the parks now (and to infinity and beyond if they let me), the baby years were my favorite. Their uncontrollable squeals on Dumbo, their awe when watching the fireworks, their cute interactions with characters...
Magic Kingdom is the practically perfect first park for you and your little one to explore together. There are so many rides that have
no minimum height requirement. As a rule of thumb, a baby can experience any ride at Disney World that does not have a height requirement. You can absolutely wear her in a baby carrier as well, especially on rides without a lap bar or other barrier.
Some of my longtime favorites at the original Disney World theme park are in Fantasyland: Dumbo the Flying Elephant (there's a cute play area there that she'll really love when she's a toddler), "it's a small world," Under the Sea--Journey of the Little Mermaid, and the Mad Tea Party (you'll get cute photos for memory-keeping, but I recommend that you don't spin the teacup). My older son's first ride ever was the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and he loved it as an infant! This land has the most options for sure. Side note: If the very lightweight lap bar on Peter Pan's Flight is blocked while baby wearing, she may have to lap sit on this one.
In Tomorrowland, check out the PeopleMover (a cool getaway in the sky, which is perfect for a nap as well). On the other side of the park in Liberty Square, take her on a ride through the Haunted Mansion (it's not-so-scary). And in Adventureland, the Magic Carpets of Aladdin and the Jungle Cruise are classics. Pirates of the Caribbean has a very short drop that most babies can handle with no issue, but just wanted to let you know in case that's not what you'd want to experience with her.
AN EXTRA GEM:
Baby Care Centers make visiting The Most Magical Place on Earth with a little one that much more inviting. When you need a break to just relax in a quiet spot or to change her diaper (or even to buy baby care items), these places are havens. The centers are found in all four Disney World theme parks and you can find their exact locations via the
My Disney Experience app.
I just know that you and your little one are going to have the BEST time at Disney World next month. Until then, Abigail, if you have any other questions to make sure that you make the most out of your vacation, revisit us here at planDisney.
I'm all ears!Magic always,
