What can we do at Disney World?

[jdurham25]

with a 7 month old? We also have a 6 year old and 2 year old so we are just wondering what we can do as a family while we are there. All help is greatly appreciated and needed. We are going in March so I need to find things soon.


Thanks umbo:

There is actually a lot to do! There are tons of rides that have no age or height requirements. We took my son when he was 6 months and he had so much fun. He probably didn't understand a lot, but he liked looking at the lights and listening to the music. It's fun because unlike his older sister, he was just a long for the ride - no whining and no complaints!!!

I took my son when he was 11 months old and I was pleasantly surprised at all we could go on. I was also pregnant at the time, so I was restricted anyway. But most of the rides in the MK are boat or glider / people-mover type rides. We were entertained until well into the afternoon. The only hitch was getting him to nap with so much going on. I just took him on the Jungle Cruise and he fell asleep in a tunnel! The only thing you may want to watch for are shows with loud noises. I've never been to Animal Kingdom, so I can't speak to anything there.

There are so many rides that you can do at the MK. We just took our infant (3 1/2 mos) and we did so many rides with her. There arent as many rides at the other parks, but our DD loved all the shows like Lion King, Nemo, Bear Jamboree, etc. I was suprised at how much she seemed to take in on our trip.

When we took DD for the first time (at 5 months) she pretty much rode everything without a height restriction. MK obviously had the most rides for her but the other parks also had plenty to do. There won't be much your older children will want to ride that the little one can't.

Trying to remember off the top of my head, we did...
At MK: All Fantasy Land rides, Buzz, Pirates, Haunted Mansion (you'll likely have a harder time getting the 2 & 6 year olds on that one!)
At Epcot: Nemo (she loved it), Journey into Imagination, the boat ride in Mexico was still under rehab, I'd recommend that too
At AK: Safari, tried for the Nemo show (technical difficulties)
At DHS: Great Movie Ride, Little Mermaid show

She also really enjoyed just walking around looking at all the people, buildings, animals at AK, etc. We had our reclining stroller from home so she often took naps while we pushed her, giving the adults opportunities to ride "bigger" attractions.

Have a great trip!

Over the years we have taken many babies and tots to WDW. We found that the Partent-Swap is a good tool to use. I take the kid(s) on the ride while DW waits, then we switch. It is like a fast-pass, but you need to ask the ride operator for it.

I'm packing a pair of over the ear protectors (Home Depot) so if the ride is noisy or he's just having too much stimulation, I can help reduce his stress! I'm also packing the smal inthe ear ones (>$1 Walmart) for my 3 and 6 year old. If they are ever freaked out by something, its always the loud noises as they can shut their eyes! You can't shut yor ears!

I'll let you know how we get on - my littlest will be 61/2 months when we go.
