Another Favorite Nap place at Epcot

[happypooh]

I know this has probably been asked before but I can't seem to get the search working...what is everyone's favorite place to go on a hot day while their child naps in the stroller at Epcot? What about for nursing moms - any favorite spots to go (apart from the baby center?) Going back to our hotel room sounds like more trouble than I can try to put myself through as I know my son will fall asleep in the car before we even get back to the hotel and then be awake there defeating the purpose of us going back to the hotel! I've had some success getting him to nap in my Ergo (although sometimes he wants to nurse at the same time as nap and that gets a little complicated - doable but just awkward in the ergo and he is too big for a regular sling).
Also, any hints on how to move a sleeping child that you may be carrying into a stroller without waking him up? I've never been good at that....

Innoventions is a good place to hang out while your kiddo naps in the stroller. I have also taken our DD's on Spaceship Earth to nap as well as the American Adventure--these are both dark and air conditioned. Another good spot (especially for nursing) -- now let's hope I can explain this well....you know the building near the fountain where the Fountainview Grill is? Well anyway, on the backside of that building there are a couple of restrooms and outside of those restrooms are a couple nice benches. It's inside and usually not crowded at all since not much goes on in that building currently. Our only experience with trying to return to the room is exactly as you described -- it took us an hour to get back to the room from the park and by the time we got there, the napping child was awake. We have always just let the younger kids nap in the stroller in the parks and just headed for the air conditioning and shade. As far as transferring a sleeping child, I wish I had some good tips; like you, I have NEVER been good at that. Have fun

Go for a ride on the monorail he can stay in the stroller and a complete loop takes a good 20 minutes or so and you are sitting. The central court area in Mexico is dark and cool sit by the fountains, you can shop a bit or get a snack and sit in there.

We had a relaxing time in Norway by the ship...there's a little path off the main one w/ a couple of benches. When you sit, you have your back towards the rest of the crowd. There are still people who come through the "off" path but it seemed ok to me. We sat here for quite a while so my 3 year old could catnap. It was nice....sort of wooded and quiet.

Another place is in Japan.....around the outdoor seating area of the Yakitori House. They have a beautiful garden area with tables.

I think Epcot is a GREAT place for napping infants and toddlers!!! Since there is so much walking around the World Showcase and so much to see and do outside, it is PERFECT.

As for nursing, well...you can do that ANYWHERE you feel comfortable! I didn't feel comfortable doing it outside (since DD HATES being covered and has the habit of pushing my shirt up all the way to my neck so everyone could see EVERYTHING ), so if I wasn't near a baby center, I just used a bathroom stall for a few minutes. It worked out PERFECTLY!
