Little ones and shoes

[SunRay]

I read a thread somewhere about someone taking an eight month old on a ride, I think it was at Seuss Landing at IoA, and the baby needing to wear shoes. We are taking a one year old, I didn't think there would be anything he could ride, does anyone know the rides suitable, we are doing MK, MGM, IoA, Seaworld,thanks

At the Magic Kingdom It's a Small World, (if it has reopened) Peter Pan's Flight, Cinderella's Golden Carrousel, Dunbo, Tea Cups (just don't spin to fast) Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Counrty Bear Jamboree, Goofys' Country Dancin Jamboree, Tom Sawyer Island, Liberty Square River Boat, Walt Disney Railroad, Swiss family Treehouse, Magic carpets of Aladdin, Jungle Cruise, Indy Speedway, Tomorrowland Transit Authority, Carousel of Progress,and Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin.

At MGM Voyage of the Little Mermaid, Playhouse Disney, Beauty and the Beast, Jim Henson's Muppets 3-D, Honey I Shrunk the Kids (playground) (most of these are shows but they have music and most baby's love music)

Some are also dark like Peter Pan Flight so if there is a problem you may want to skip that one, my nieces and nephews loved all the above attractions when they where as young as your child but every child is different don't take him/her on anything dark first start with Dumbo, Pooh and the Tea Cups. Then see how he/she does the Indy Cars where a favorite of my little ones because they try and drive them with you being there for the gas and braking.

There are many things for the little ones to do and have a great time...also be sure to ask about the baby swap options for each ride then everyone can enjoy the rides.

Riding on the Monorail and buses where another big treat.

Remember to a 12 month old...Mickey is a Seven Foot Rat. Let your child decide about the characters.

We took our oldest son to Disney World when he was 6 months old and then our youngest when he was 12 months old (but not walking yet). They CAN go on any rides that don't have a height requirement, but I avoided the scarier 3D movies and the Snow White ride. They both liked the Muppet movie at MGM. The 6 month old even liked the Beauty and the Beast show, and the 1 year old liked everything really, but especially the Disney Playhouse show at MGM. As far as shoes, I don't remember that being an issue, but I think I kept shoes on them because I was afraid of sunburn.

If you get a chance stop by Epcot's World Showcase. On both our trips that was the best time our family had with the babies. We could just walk around and look at all the different things.

In 2000, we took our then 11 month old to IOA. We wanted to take her on The Cat in the Hat. They attendant told us that she had to be able to walk on her own to go on the ride. (She was walking at this point and did have on her first pair of shoes). I was really amazed, since it was the cat in the hat. Needless to say, the ride really spun around and really was to much for her.

Maybe that is why you remember something about shoes?

Thanks all, great to know he can have as much fun and interaction as the other kids, can't wait to see their faces!!

Just FYI, You can ask them for a no spin ride on The Cat in the Hat. I can't spin without feeling sick. I told the attendant as they were loading us that I wanted a non-spinning ride. They flipped a switch on the car we were in and it did not spin. The ride was still very entertaining!

My sister tells a very funny story of my 50+ BIL driving home from Universal/IoA, car very quiet, kids dozing, and he starts muttering "GD Cat in the Hat". Apparently it had made him queasy and he's been suffering all day!!!!
