My Disney Baby

Posted by Rachel Lister Aug 18, 2008

My kids are a great age to enjoy Disney Land so we packed up our family and took off for a family vacation this summer. I have been to Disney Land with a baby before so I wasn't too worried about how my 9 month old would do. He is an easy going baby and I felt prepared to tackle the park with my kids. Many of the rides are more or less train rides through scenery so I was able to take my baby on most of the rides in the park. A few of the rides required that my baby was able to sit up on his own simply because he had to sit in a seat next to me, but most of the rides allowed him to sit on my lap. Even the classic Dumbo ride allowed my baby to sit on the seat in front of me and he loved the up and down motion of the ride.

The best thing we brought with us was our reusable water bottles. The saved us from buying expensive drinks and kept us hydrated. Nearly all of the food vendors were willing to let us fill up our water bottles with ice and fresh water. I couldn't have gotten by without my stroller. As tedious as it could be to unload my baby each time we got on a ride, I loved having the option to store the diaper bag and everything else we needed in my stroller and my back was much happer after a long day at the park than it would have been if I had carried my baby or used a carrier for the entire day.
