Infant and WDW Dining

[jworthy]

Sorry if this has been asked before, I tried to look through all posts once sorted but no real luck.
I will be in WDW in Nov 2008 and will have a 3 month old with us and we were wondering what to do regarding bringing the infant with us to dinners. I read somewhere that restaurants have a infant seat on wheels to use while dining? If this is true, is it only at certain places or will we be better off bringing her infant seat with us to the parks in order to have a place to set her down and not have to hold her throughout the dinner?
Thanks for any advice in advance.

We have gone to all of the parks (on both coasts) with both of our daughters since they were 1 week old (we live 45 min from DL).

The blessing about WDW (and DLR) is that seating accomodations are no different than going to an Olive Garden or any other national chain restaurant, as far as infant carrier accomodations.

We always had the "bucket o' baby" with us in the parks and have no problems with seating. If the establishment has booths, it's easy to put the bucket right next to you on one bench and if they don't, they have the infant carrier sling for them. When you make an ADR (or PS in DL), they will ask you the age of the infant. Let them know at that time that you will have your carrier, so they can make the appropriate seating arrangements for you.

Have fun - this is an easy stage to go to WDW with! As you already know, when they get mobile - that's when all the trouble begins!

We leave Saturday with our 11 week old and from the research we have done we should be able to take his stroller in to meals. He will be in a jogger rather than his car seat (hates carseat)

I can so relate! My eldest was a car hater! Once we got her out of the bucket and into her Marathon, it was a whole new story! And then, when she got to face forward - it was like heaven opened!

We were lucky and did our first trip to WDW with her at 5 months. That made a huge difference, as we could just do a highchair. She was really good with those things at an early age.

I had forgotten to mention that if your child is passed out in the stroller - they will always let you bring the stroller in, no matter what the age!
