Questions about Disney with an 11 week old.

[athumann]

Do you have to have the infant on your room reservation, not 100% sure we are bringing him? If they are too little to be in a highchair can you take a stroller into restaurants? What about the busses and rides, do you just hold them on your laps or would a strap on carrier be better?

Every person, no matter how small, must be on room and dining reservations.

So we count him as a person for ADR's?

Yes

As for the bus rides do what is best for you. I would think it would be harder with a backpack carrier but I have never done it before. I plan on front carrying my child when we go down.

Yes…count them on ADR's. I know it seems silly. We almost got denied at Teppan Edo because we only had 2 listed on the reservation instead of 3, even though our baby was sleeping in the stroller and did not require a seat. They need to know how many total people for fire code purposes. And, they did let us bring the stroller into the restaurant. I'm surprised they did that…it was a very small space.

yes he has to be on all reservations. I would not take a baby that young since they have not had all their shots yet

Yes, as everyone else has said, your entire party needs to be on the adr. We took our 8 week old daughter to the World, and it was the best trip ever. Although you didn't ask if anyone would recommend it, it was amazing with no problems. She's now turning five and thriving. Your baby won't remember, but you will have those memories! Do what's best for your family and have a magical trip!

Genuinely curious, do you stay in your house for the first few years until your child has effectively had all of their shots?

Folks are right about the ADRs - but DO mention that one of them is just a little one. We found in a few instances that they understood that and could accommodate us better that way. Most places will say you can't take strollers in, but in more than one instance we found TS places would try and help find us a place where the stroller could come in with us if he was napping (or we thought he was about to, in one case).

We took our babe into the Brown Derby sleeping in his stroller and they found us a corner booth out of the way to park him. We have done the same at Cove Bar and Blue Bayou at DLR. At California Grill we took him up in the Ergo and he fell asleep....so they gave us an extra large booth so we could lay him down between us! It was lovely!

The front carrier was a must for us. We used an Ergo (LOVE IT) and on the bus we often kept him in it. If it was a short bus ride, I would just stand with him, but on longer rides we would sit with him and unlatch so he could be more comfy...then quickly relatch it when we stopped and I stood up. It is a must for lines, too!

We loved taking our LO when they were very small. Easy peasy!

What time of year are you going?

Yes, he/she needs to be included in all the reservations.
