Pak & Play Crib?

[ecki]

We requested a crib for our room, it says on the WDW resort website a "Pak & Play Crib". Is that like one of those Graco pack & play playpens? Kayla can sleep in a regular crib, but a playpen type thing would probably be too small for her. She's around 34 inches tall.

You are right. That is what they are.
You might want to rent an actual crib - A Baby's Best Friend rents them.

I did some online research and it is indeed the Pack n Play crib you mentioned. It folds up and stores in the closet.

We had the same problem with our son. Although you can request a regular crib at most resorts, I was not happy with them at all. The mattresses were extremely soft.... too soft, I think, for a child to sleep on. The mattress was also very thin, so it would not have been comfortable. I found a pack-n-play by L.A.Baby that is larger than the typical pack-n-play, and purchased that to take with us on our trips. We have been using it for a few years now, and have been very happy with it.

My 4 year old still uses the Pack-n-Play at Disney-- calls it his Disney trip bed. He's now 40 inches tall, still wants the darn thing, so hey, who's to argue with that?

Well, we went away on a weekend vacation. Kayla slept in the pack & play the first night -- and then wanted nothing to do with it the second night. She cried and cried (and this is a child who NEVER cries) until I took her out and put her in bed with me. And then she fell right asleep and slept through the night. Of course, I didn't get ANY sleep because I kept waking up to see if Kayla was still on the bed!

ahhhh, but at least she slept

seriously, it's funny she was happy in it the first night, but not the second.

I think she wasn't happy the first night in the Pack & Play. She kept waking up and trying to get comfortable. I guess she remembered that on the second night!

You can also request bed-rails. DS slept in the pack-n-play until recently.
