Stroller Question

[radev104]

This is our first time taking a baby to Disney. Our little guy will be 11 weeks old when we take him the first time, probably for a couple hours since we are local. But we are also going with all the family (12 total-including 3 2 and under). What are your tips and tricks for strollers? We have the Mockingbird-both the bassinet and regular seat with the infant carrier. We already put an AirTag in the stroller and have the little pouch on the handle with two carabiners. What else should we do to make the park days easier?
Thanks!

I've never taken an infant but it was not that long ago that mine was an infant...first off, does your baby regularly nap in the stroller? If not, I would get him acclimated. My vote would be to take the bassinet...IIRC, there are some SIDS concerns with car seat/infant carrier naps, especially for newborns.

Secondly, if your plan is to ride rides and not sit on a bench or just walk around, have you considered baby wearing? It might be easier for you to get around although it's nice to have the stroller to give your back a break and to have somewhere to stash your stuff.

Check out the baby care centers. I've been reading on other forums that depending on the cast member in charge, dads may also be allowed in the nursing rooms (some moms were uncomfortable with this change)

Since you're locals and just hopping in, I'm not sure I have any real tips and tricks. If you're planning on riding any rides (pan/it's a small world/etc) be aware that CMs might move the stroller because they are constantly reshuffling the parking areas.
