Disney with a 10 month old!

[NJlauren]

Any tips for traveling to Disney with a 10 month old? I have done my research and I know this trip is for me and not her, I don'd expect to do as much as when went with no kids. But I am hoping to gather additional tips or stories about other peoples experiences.

As of now I think we are only going to do MK and Epcot, we are going May 2-6, a short trip and only planing on doing 3 park days, I am thinking 2 MK days and 1 Epcot day. We have ADR to meet that schedule for now.

Group is 8 people, me DH, DD (10 months), my sister and her BF, my father and my in-laws. Everyone is letting me run with the planing for now, not that I expect we will all be together all the time.

Thanks in advance.

One of the biggest tips is if you eat at a sit down meal ask your server to puree (sp) food for your little one. 11 years ago our DS had his first prime rib at Crystal Palace. Yummy.
Do bring baby items. If they get lost or your forget something you can get it all there. It just costs a lot more.
If your little one does not have stranger danger try the characters. Some of our favorite pics. are from that trip.
Consider getting a first set of ears (I know not a must do but a great memory).
Take an umbrella stroller.
There are baby care center in all the parks with rocking chairs. (incase you need a quiet moment)
The bathrooms in the Epcot character spots are usually quiet. Also the hallways are not busy.
If you want a safe relaxing place to view the fireworks and parade consider paying for tickets to the Fireworks Dessert buffet in MK. ($$)
If you want to do more adventurous rides do the parent swap.
Underneath the train station by Splash Mountain is a small play area. (a good place for your little one to stretch out, wiggle, and move.
Not sure if they will have them this time of year but last spring Epcot had a few playground areas with grassy areas to sit, relax, and enjoy a Mickey ice cream bar (you )
Hope this helps!! Enjoy your trip!!!!
