Can I go to Walt Disney World with little kids?

Yes!

There are hundreds of people going to WDW today in each of these categories: pregnant, babies 0 - 3 months, older infants, 1 year olds, 2 year olds and everything else.

90%+ of Disney World works with for bringing your babies. There is only one Disney restaurant (Victoria and Alberts) that has an age restriction. Even rides with height restrictions can still be ridden using the Rider Switch service.

Objections

Let me handle some objections you might have to going

  1. The kids won’t remember any of it.
  2. We can’t ride any of the cool rides.
  3. I need to nurse.
  4. I’ll be too tired.
  5. We can’t afford it.

The kids won’t remember any of it.

Answer: that’s not the reason you are going anyway. You are going because you guys want to go, and you are hoping it’ll still work even though the kids are little right now.

Plus ‘not remembering any of it’ is not the same as ‘not making any impact on them’

We can’t ride any of the cool rides.

  1. You actually can ride them, just one adult in your party will have to watch the kids while the other adults ride. On many of those rides, Disney let’s you ‘rider switch’ which means everyone waits in line and then the cast members show you how to switch off watching kids without having to get in line again.
  2. There is still much more to do at Disney than you have time for even without those cool rides. You’ll discover new attractions with your little kids that you skipped over before and you’ll love it!

I need to nurse.

You can nurse at Disney. Have you ever nursed at a restaurant? At the zoo or something like the zoo? It’s like that. If you’ve never nursed in a semi-public setting, go try it first before deciding on Disney.

If you are very private about nursing, going to Disney World will be hard. Each park has private nursing rooms at a semi-centrally located Baby Care Center, but it will add a lot of walking to your visits.

I’ll be too tired

This is a true objection! Parenting at Disney is just as tiring as parenting anywhere else. If you imagine you’ll feel tired, I say don’t go, wait til they are older.

This is different than expecting to be tired, but your desire to take the trip makes the tiredness seem totally worth it.

We can’t afford it

This is a true objection! If the cost of the vacation stresses you out, don’t go right now. Wait for a better time when you feel you can comfortably afford it.
