I am the biggest OCD Disney trip planner - it is practically all I think about. I am nearing my 180 day mark for ADRs early next month and have been trying to map out everything, including my Fastpass + selections, which i have some time still to decide on.... This trip will be myself, DH, DD who will be 1 year old, my mother and my 7-year old niece. We are arriving on Halloween and staying in a studio at VGF (rented points) so it is convenient being on the monorail line.
I have no clue how my daughter's nap schedule will look like in 7 months, what are typical nap times if she wakes up around 630-7? I am guessing 10-11 and 2-3. I am also anticipating that she will stick to her 7pm bedtime. I'd love to hear experiences from anyone that travelled with a 1-year old!
How did you book ADRs/Fastpasses without knowing what her day-to-day schedule will look like months in advance?? I am planning to book several character meals & buffets as they would be quicker than ordering off a menu.
I am also trying to decide if it is worth it to add park hopper. I plan on getting a 5-day ticket and I've never NOT had a park hopper but I'd hate to buy it and then not use it. I'm thinking 1-park a day at that age would be best, but I'm thinking more along the lines of my mother may babysit some nights so my husband and I can go to Epcot food & wine. I can always upgrade to park hopper once i get there....
Lastly, I KNOW it's going to be tight but we are all staying in my studio, as there is no way we can afford a 1 or 2 bedroom. I also know that VGF studios are small on storage space. Are 1-year olds best to sleep in the pack & play? Or can she sleep on the sofa bed with my mom with pillows propped on one side of her?
I'm definitely going to take advantage of a Garden Grocer order rather than try to pack Diapers, wet wipes, food, etc.
Any advice would be appreciated!
