I don't have a trip report. But I did just return from a trip with my 2-year old daughter.
We did Sunday - Sunday. 5 park Days and 1 rest day (my daughter had 2 rest days). My daughter came down with an ear infection on day 1. It's not a trip to Disney if we don't end up in urgent care!! Haha.
Advice I can give is Plan on two rest days if you are doing a lot of park days. We did two HS days, and on the second one, she stayed back at the resort with my mom. Even if they stay in the stroller most of the time, Disney world can be very Overwhelming. Things that I thought my daughter would love, Like Parades, she actually hated!
Stroller, of course, is a must. Not sure what the temp is like there in Nov, but i do live in the south, and where I'm from Nov can still have some warm days. Pack a fan to add to the stroller. Since we went last week during peak summer, We had 3 fans blowing on her.
Bring easy snacks. Squeezable apple sauce and Uncrustables were a godsend. We used an insulated casserole holder as a cooler, it worked perfectly, and we could fold down our stroller with it in it.
I know there is a lot of hate with
Genie+. We're paying for something that use to be free. Ugh i know, BUT!!! get it. We went last October when there were no Fast Passes or LL. I felt like we missed out on so much standing in line and trying to keep a toddler entertained. It was so much better this time around in July with genie+.
Do either late starts or take a break.
Alot of family's take a mid afternoon break to the hotel when they have a toddler. If that works great for your family. Definitely do that! I have some grumps in my family, so I knew if we were to go back mid afternoon, someone wouldn't want to go back to the parks.
My plan was to have a late start and it seemed to work out great for us. I planned my ADRs around 1:00. we didn't leave the resort till it was time for our lunch reservations. Bus stops waits were never long or packed, and getting into the park was a breeze!! No line! In the mornings i would stay at the resort and stack our genie+ for after our meals. So we would arrive at the parks, and then head over to our reservation. This way, we were inside during peak heat hours(which might not be a problem for you) and then had rides lined up for when we got done. We also had Extra evening hours for Epcot & MK. so we were able to get a lot done during those hours.
If everyone is off riding big rides, find a play area for the toddler. This helped so much, she got to tire herself out and was entertained. Animal kingdom has the Bone Yard in dinoland, Epcot has a playground inside (air conditioned) through the gift store at mission Space. MK has one at dumbo. Never found one at HS. but all the shows kept my daughter's interest, so we did that.
Last bit of advice is to definitely plan for the unexpected (as cliche as that is.) Toddlers get sick, they get cranky, and sometimes can't handle the parks as well as a big kid. Have a backup plan on who would be okay taking them back to the room if this happens. No one likes to miss out. But if you already have a plan in place, it helps with the frustration of no one wanting to go back. We also took her when she was 1 back in october and learned the hard way from this. This past trip, I made sure a plan was in place.
Hope that helps!!
