Baby Monitors

[littlepooh]

Has anyone ever tried taking a baby monitor along with you to the Disney resorts and used it successfully?

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Where are you staying, and when are you planning to need the monitor (like how far away from where baby is sleeping are you planning to go?)?

We are DVC members so we typically have the baby sleeping in another room and always take our monitor and it has worked just fine.

Good Luck

Skip the monitors! If your baby cries in the next room you will definitely hear it. Sleep with your bedroom door open. We could hear the baby crying in the next room (not ours but another guests'!!) and everything they were saying when getting ready in the morning (at the WL).

We took our monitor both times we stayed at OKW. We had a 2 BR Villa & our son would be asleep in the back bedroom & we could sit in the living area, or out on the patio & the monitor worked great. It kept me from peeking in on him & risking waking him up!

I have to ask what you are intending to use the baby monitor for. Are you staying in a suite type room (or a DVC villa)? Or are you hoping to put the baby down and then go for a swim or grab a bite to eat?

If you are thinking of leaving the room, I would ask you to reconsider. Do you leave your baby at home and go to the neighbor's? OR down the street? It is not safe to leave a baby in a hotel room by his/herself. Too many people have access to that room.

But if you're just going to be in the living room while the baby's in a bedroom, then I agree that you'll be able to hear the baby fine without a monitor!

We took our monitors for nap time. I would put DD to bed (with room doors locked). Then I would go sit on the balcony with a book. The monitor worked just fine. Having it kept me from feeling like I had to keep opening the door to check on DD. The sliding doors and outside noise can be just enough of a change in environement to arouse my little one. I have traveled in the past without the moniter but was glad that I packed it this last trip.
