Hello!
My husband and I got married in WDW in April 2010 and decided we want to go back for an early anniversary during our daughter's bday (January 31st). She'll be turning 3 - we plan to go mostly while she is 2. I have a few logistical questions and am also hoping for general feedback.
Logistics:
1. If we are there mostly while she is 2, does she need a ticket?
2. How do buffets work (while she is 2)? Is she free (even though she probably eats the same as an adult)?
3. What are stroller rentals like?
Suggestions on hotel? We have stayed at Pop Century, AKL Jambo (3 times), Wilderness Lodge and Beach Club. Love AKL, but a bit far from parks. I'm thinking we would get a 1 bedroom, so we'd be renting DVC points (thinking Boardwalk, AKL or Bay Lake) or AoA Family suites. We are vegetarian, so want a place with lots of options. Our daughter is a wild/active child, so also looking for best pool/playground on site. We've never been in Jan. Is it warm enough to swim?
I'm also hoping for any general tips. Best park/activities/restaurants/other activities? Do people do child swap/single rider lines, or do you split up time in the park (i.e. Parent 1 takes the child around in the am and Parent 2 in the pm)?
Thank you!
