Must Dos

[AuroraJae]

We are headed to the MK tomorrow! Ferris has been to Epcot and DHS, so now it is time for the big one!

What would y'all recommend for an almost 6 month old baby?
We plan on Small World and Dumbo, but what else? Thanks for any help!

P.S. Ferris helped type this

Gotta do Winnie the Poo, and Peter Pan. Don't forget Aladdin's Carpet Rides either. I know it's like Dumbo, but its fun for kids. Getting his pic with all the different fairies in Pixie Hollow would be something to hang on to as well.

Aww how sweet!!!

#1 Have a great time with him!!
#2 He needs a little Dole Whip sample!!!

 

[Becx N Gav]

You could always take him for a hair cut

Have a lovely time and I hope the baby area is better than at DHS

 

[Annette_VA]

Aw, his first trip to MK! Lucky guy

Definitely get a picture of him in front of the castle.

Also, you should pick a spot to take a picture of him each time he goes, to see how he's grown. Like maybe on either the Minnie/Roy bench or the Goofy one?

Of course pretty much all of Fantasyland is a given. He'll probably also like the TTA & Jungle Cruise.

Have a blast! Take lots of pictures.

I suggest a family portrait with Mickey Mouse.

Get a big hug from Winnie the Pooh? Would he be OK with big characters like that? Eating at the Crystal Palace is nice.

Another thought is riding the railroad around the MK. We love riding the railroad, and you get such a nice breeze off of it too.

Finally, there are those little splash ground areas to cool off. I remember you saying Ferris liked the one on the cruise ship. There's the splash ground at Donald's boat in Toontown, the little splash area in front of Ariel's Grotto, and the splash area in Pooh's playful spot. Ferris can play Pooh Sticks...

I can't remember which TR...but someone had a great TR and their baby was on the ground on main street and they got behind their child and took a picture of the baby crawling up main street with the castle in the background. It was priceless! So something like that would be really cool...even sitting on the ground and from the back.

Maybe lay out a baby blanket.

Of course...you will need the baby station to give him a significant bath! Or at least some good sanitizer!


As far as rides...I dunno. But lots of characters! Love it!

 

[Hpyhiker]

Let's see now, you haven't done a segment on MK baby changing stations yet, have you? Now's the time....

Have an absolutely wonderful day with Ferris and all the pixie dust but watch out for the hot Florida sun. Just saying. Dad, take lots of pix.

 

[NC Belle]

I'm so excited for y'all!


If you get there at rope drop--- the Main Street streetcar, Main Street characters like the Fire Chief, Mayor, the Dapper Dans, Main Street Philharmonic (if he can handle loud music)...


Storytime with Belle

Take pictures in front of Bwana Bob's, the less traveled paths, in front of the Barbershop (then edit the photo to say someday).....

 

[Cruz Family]

Lots of really vibrant colors in Toontown. Pooh would be a great ride for him, and you have to do dumbo! Most important take lots of pics to share with us!
Have fun!!!!

We took our youngest on everything that he could go on when he was 6 months old. We didn't do the Speedway cars but everything else without a height restriction was fair game.

The Baby Care Center near the Crystal Palace is wonderful! Have fun!

 

[mejkjj97]

I would also add the Carrousel to the list. Pooh and Dumbo are a must. Also, It's a Small World takes on a different light when seeing it through you childs eyes.

 

[WaltD4Me]

Awwwwwwwwwwwww, his first time to MK!
My niece was 8 months old on her 1st trip and she LOVED It's a Small World, seriously, all the colors and things moving, it's sensory overload for a baby! My sister said she laughed through the whole ride. I also think he'd enjoy the train ride around MK and Jungle Cruise.

 

[Stacy's a freak]

I have nothing constructive to add but I just wanted to say HAVE FUN! I'm so excited for him (and you and Corey)!

 

[AuroraJae]

Thanks for all the great tips!

 

[*NikkiBell*]

You must, must, MUST get a pic as a family with Mickey Mouse and one of Ferris by the castle. I can't wait to see!

 

[tinkbutt]

take him on the train see how he likes the wind in his Hair!
I would say the TTA but it is closed maybe he might enjoy the colors in buzz lightyear???

And have fun!! post some pics!

A don't suggestion
DON"T take Ferris on Snow Whites Scary Adventure, when our DD was three that was the first ride on her first trip to WDW and Oh My was that a mistake, she was traumatized for most of the day. Once she settled down, who came marching down Fantasyland? The 7 Dwarfs, and it scared her again.
DW and I rode the DL Snow White ride a couple years before and it was a nice little ride, with singing and fun, so we didn't think about the WDW version, "scary adventure" didn't enter our minds DUH.
So until Ferris is 20 just say "no" to Snow Whites...

Also, you should pick a spot to take a picture of him each time he goes, to see how he's grown. Like maybe on either the Minnie/Roy bench or the Goofy one?

I love this idea! Especially since you guys could do it as often as you wanted!

I don't know how much he is actually aware of what's going on around him at this age, but our little ones are/were scared of Pooh(the rain scene) and Snow White. The Jungle Cruise and the railroad are great ideas.
