Need help: 20mo twins going to WDW - The DIS Discussion Forums

roobug · 11-24-2009, 03:56 PM

We are taking our boys to WDW for the first time in June. We have been to Disneyland many times with them, and wanted to know any tips for going to WDW with them. Are there infant care places like at Disneyland? Any other suggestions on things to do with them/not to do with them. Any ride suggestions? Thanks!

There are baby care centers in all of the parks and they are very nice, especially for a relaxing break from all the crowds. They have high chairs, nursing rooms, changing tables as well as microwaves and a limited bit of food for sale.
We have taken our kids at all ages (we have no twins, though) and have taken our babies on lots of rides. We even took our last dd at 3 1/2 mos and she rode lots of things and enjoyed many of the shows- even at that young age.
June will be quite hot, so I would suggest taking a break midday and have plenty of liqueds to keep them hydrated. A stroller with a large canopy to keep them covered. We like to get to the parks at rope drop- it will be much cooler for you and much less crowded. As the day goes on crowds will get worse and you could leave for a break.
Good luck to you and have a great time!

Thanks for the info - we are most likely going to be staying at the Swan or Dolphin as DH has a conference will that be an okay place with little ones, and will there be room for two cribs? Do we need to bring our Pack-n-plays or will they provide us with 2 cribs?

1. Take it slow.
2. Plans lots of breaks.
3. Use disposables (sippy cups, bibs, spoons, changing pads)
4. Use the A- and B-ticket rides for breaks (riverboat, train, hall of presidents)
5. Make time to let them walk around at a play areas (staying all day in a stroller is going to be tough on them
6. SUNSCREEN! SUNSCREEN! SUNSCREEN!
7. hats
8. pack or ship a case of water to your hotel to carry in your park bag
9. refill diapers and wipes at mid-day breaks

Rides:
MK - train, riverboat, county bear jamboree, pirates, jungle cruise, small world, dumbo, winnie the pooh, philharmagic, peter pan
EP - not as much to do here, but exploring world showcase, Nemo ride
DHS - no recommendations
AK - dinoland, camp minnie-mickey, safari (but they'll have to sit in the middle), train, affection section

Where are you staying? Did I miss it? Most of the hotels have kiddie/wading pools. I know Pop! has a fountain to play in.

Have fun!

We went with 26 month old twins and we rented cribs from abbf.com A Baby's Best Friend. I was SO happy with them and really appreciated having real cribs for the week instead of pack n plays.

Have Fun!! We went on their schedule and had a blast!!

Thanks for the advice so far! The website for renting was great! Thanks for the suggestion. I'm still a little worried about staying at the Swan or Dolphin, but DH has a conference so he does not want to commute from one of the other resorts. I am worried that there will not be enough for us to do their while he is in conferences, and about getting back to the resort in the afternoons for naps - anyone with any experience that can eleviate my fears???

By staying at Swan/Dolphin you'll have the Boardwalk, DHS, and EP close. You can take the Friendships to all of those. Is there a family member/friend you could talk into going with you?

When do your DH's meetings start? You could always plan your days around that. Like, if his meeting starts at 10, pop over to Cape May or Akerhaus (if you have girls) for a character breakfast, go back to the hotel until he's done, then go into the parks a couple of days. That way you won't be rushed and have to deal with both kids on your own using the public transport.

Have you considered renting a car? That may make things easier for you to transport the kids when you are definately going to be by yourself. That way you won't be rushed to breakdown your stroller for the busses.
