Welcome to the board! You'll find it really friendly here. Everyone is really happy to help.

With regards to travelling with a toddler. I would suggest bringing your pushchair and putting a buggy snuggle in it, so when your daughter gets tired, or when it gets colder towards the evening, she can snuggle down and have a nap and so won't get tired and grumpy. Also, i usually bring a tupperware container full of healthy snacks such as fruit bars and banana chips for my son- he's 3 but we've been taking him to DLP since he was 14 months. That way he can eat while he's queuing for rides, and I know he's getting some of his fruit quota!

Some of the rides that are toddler friendly are:
It's a Small World
Carousel of Lancelot
Dumbo
Peter Pan (If she's not afraid of the dark)
The Parade- Not a ride but My son loves it!

HTh a bit,

Sleepy

we took our dd when she was one, then we went back in June just after her second birthday and we're going again in October and for little one's it is just fab.

I would definitely recommend taking your own pushchair for ease of use, etc and airlines are really good and let you keep it til last minute so you can use it in the departure lounge etc. I also recommend taking some milton wipes just to give highchairs, tables etc a going over and we took our daughters own juice cup which I filled with juice from breakfast and I diluted it with bottled water into her second cup ... a bit cheap but it was convenient. I also bought a wide neck flask just to keep fruit in and generally just the usual bits like fruit, biscuits and other snack type items. In terms of food your little one should be fine, our little girl invariably just shared part of our meal so we never bought her her own apart from a Mickey shaped pizza

Definitely would take something warm in case you have to sit and wait for a long time and we didn't bother taking her rain cover for the pushchair ... just bought an adult DLP poncho which went over her and the buggie

Our little one loved Teacups, Dumbo, It's a Small World, Peter Pan, Flying Carpets, POTC etc ...

I'm sure there'll be lots more tips heading your way.

Have a fab trip xx
