WDW with 3mo?

[hardingk]

Please tell me if you think I am crazy!! DH & I are expecting baby #1 any day now. We are going to Florida in November before I come back to work as our parents & my grandparents live 45 mins north of WDW. Originally I was planning to fly down with my parents and spend 10 days in Florida. DH needs to be at work the beginning of the week so he is thinking about flying down on Wednesday afternoon. Then I thought, why not go to WDW for a few days. We are DVC members and have extra points in our current UY so it got me thinking. Instead of making the trek to and from the airport, we can pick up DH at MCO and then head over to WDW. I already called and got a reservation for a 2bdrm at OKW. We are going in December, so we can just purchase our AP's a month earlier. DH really needs a vacation, and I figured it would be a nice little short trip (besides the time we will spend at my parents). If my parents come with us (they have AP's) we will have extra hands to help out. I know that everything will be based on baby's schedule, but do you think I am crazy for even considering this?

Since you have the extra hands coming with you, I don't think your crazy. Now I probably wouldn't do it without them...but that is just me. I think its great that your able to fit in a trip before going back to work. Have fun!

I'm heading to the world with a 3month old, also a 4yr old and 2yr old. The extra hands will be great. I don't see where the baby is going to be the problem. the only thing I'm worried about is him getting dehydrated, but other than that he should be easy. Congratulations on the baby!

No, it sounds fun to me!

We took my DS all over the Big Island of Hawaii when he was 4 months old (we lived on Oahu) and it was fine! We used the backpack for hikes, and the stroller otherwise. It was a lot of fun, and a baby is easy! The only thing was that I was a bit tired sometimes due to him waking once a night to need to be fed, but otherwise it was fine.

Having the grandparents along will be extra fun and help - it really sounds like a great idea to me!

Really, that age is so easy. The weather will be nice, and you will have a great memory.

We took our DS just before he was 3 months, and we had a pleasant time...although each trip has gotten progressively better....we can't wait until next month!!

Oh, trust me, it would be the easiest trip you'll ever make with him...I've taken a 4-month old, 3 yr. old, 4 yr. old, 5 yr. old and 6 yr. old.
And surprisingly the 4 month age was by far the easiest..and that was with 2 older kids (4 & 6), no extra help and a regular hotel room. Do it!!!!
