Rides & Attractions For A 9 Month Old

[LeeAnn]

Going to WDW w/ my (then to be) 9 month old daughter...

What rides will she be able to go on?
What attractions would she enjoy?
What would be good for her?

What strategy to use? Starting my planning. Don't know what to expect w/ 9 month old. Can anyone w/ past experience enlighten me? Thanks for your input.

Hi LeeAnn. Welcome to the DIS. I'm very glad that you found us and I hope you can visit often.

I'm going to put a copy of this question on our Families board because I think there are a lot of experts over there with experience taking babies this age to WDW and I think you will get some excellent advice there.

You might want to check for replies on that board too. Your post is <b>HERE</b>.

Enjoy planning your trip.

I've taken two 6 month olds. We had a fabulous time both trips. You can pretty much take them on anything without height restriction- anything in Fantasyland. They both loved Small World, Dumbo, Pooh. She might be frightened of Snow White though.
At this age, it depends on the child. A 6 month old is different from a nine month old but I'll share my experiences. My 6 month olds both slept in the stroller for naps and through pretty much anything. We were there when the parks opened and left when they closed- also went during off season so it wasn't hot. Definitely use the Baby Care centers at each park- great for mixing bottles if you bottle feed, changing diapers, and getting a break. They are wonderful! They also both love character meals- more so than when my DD was 2 (she was scared at first). We got priceless pictures with the characters holding( some of them) and playing with them.
Only you know your child and what they are used to. If they are used to being on the go, then they will probably be OK. If not, you will have to slow down to accomidate their pace. Be sure to take lots of baby wipes to wipe off germs!
Have a great trip and good luck!
