Last Minute Resort Only Stay with a 2yr old

[kmeurs521]

Hi all!

A few months ago we booked a Treehouse Villa for our little family of 3. Some things came up, and we thought we wouldn’t be able to go. Almost canceled, but decided yesterday we were going to go! Driving from Ohio, leaving in a week!

What are your favorite things to do during a resort only stay for a 2 year old? What should we be sure to bring with us, besides lots of patience?
Thanks!

Disney Springs train ride, visit the Lego Store, do a character breakfast, ride the monorail, Skyliner, and Disney boat transit, visit the ponies at Ft. Wilderness, eat at Raglan Road and watch the dancing, go to the pool, and play on the playground. We haven't done a resort only stay, but sometimes have fewer park days than resort days. Have fun! A tree house villa sounds amazing!

Oh, and as for the drive... Lots of stops and snacks, plus toys that make noise and/or light up helped us. And making sure they napped in the car. Somewhere around 2.5 we let them start playing preschool games on a Leappad tablet.

Yes, she will actually be 2.5 next month and we are planning on loading up a tablet. Thank you!

You're welcome. Oh, and you might want to get off the Skyliner at Art of Animation and walk around there. My son loved the life-sized Cars characters and the Finding Nemo themed playground.

My two four-year old children looked more excited about the Cars sculptures at Art of Animation on our resort hopping day than they did at Epcot or Hollywood Studios!

This sounds awesome! My only worry is that she really isn’t used to wearing a mask, so I’m not sure how we would make it over there, unless we can park?

Hmm, we went there to eat at their food court and look around, but it was precovid. Not sure if you can park and do quick service nowadays, but it is a short Skyliner ride from HS parking lot.
