Taking a baby and teenagers!

[Ruth B]

Hello,

I'd hoping to take my 2 son's plus one of the teenagers friend( baby will be 15 months and older son, 14-nearly 15 ) to DLP next May. I'm hoping my sister will also come along for moral support!.

we are planniong to stay at DLH for the location.

Obvisley the children will want to do very different things.
I am hoping to be able to do the parks together until lunch time( with a focus on baby activities) and then go back to the hotel with the baby.

I am wondering if it would be ok for the two teenager to stay in the park and go on faster rides. They are both very responsible and wouldn't mess around............ but have any of you got experienc of doing this?.
The boys would have a mobile phone with them.
If my sister comes i hope she will also go with them for part of the time.



On the baby side-
is it easy to get suitable food/milk/nappies on-site?
are there lots of changing facilties in the parks and high chairs in resturant?.
how did you find the crib in the hotel( we will be staying at DLH).


any advice or tip would be very helpful for the planning and boundary setting process!!
many thnaks
Ruth

I would have thought the boys would be fine - the park is often full of school trips with groups of teenagers on their own. Like you say they have a mobile so you can reach them and they don't have to go far if they do want to go back to the hotel.

You can buy food (jars)/milk and nappies in the hotel shop but won't your baby pretty much be on solids then anyway? Or you can head to a nearby supermarket and stock up on things there (its 5 mins and 1 stop on a train).

There is baby change in all toilets but there is also a baby care centre in Discovery Arcade (the one on the right as you enter the Disneyland park).

In the Studios there is a baby care in guest services just on the right as you enter.

High chairs are in all restaurants but its a first come first served basis. Have to say I haven't always seen one in smaller places like Victorias Restaurant.

I will quote Rythiebabie, if kids are sensible and they are not keen on messing around then both the Park and the Studios are ok for them

I just wonder if there could be problems going on the fast ridesas no adult will be with them but i suppose not as long as they are tall enough
