Toddler & Infant Going to Disney, Any Advice?

There are 'stroller parking' areas throughout the park and near each ride. You park your stroller, ride the rides in that area, pick up your stroller, and then move to the next section.

The only 2 rides I found that is NOT stroller friendly are the boats from the resorts to the Magic Kingdom, and the Old Train that goes around the park. For both of these rides you have to fold your stroller up before going through the gate.

Yes there are many rides for youngests in Mickey's Toon Town and Fantasyland. If you have a litte girl that is into the Princesses, there is a store between Mickey and Minnie's houses that has a room where they sit and take pics ALL day long.

HI,
I have been twice to Disney World with my babies, the first time we went my son was 3 and my baby only 3 months! and this year mi girl was one and a half and my son 4.

You can take your stroller all the way to the entrance of the rides. No need to lock it, there are usually hundreds of strollers, there is always security around and no one will take your things away. The only thing that may happend is that if you cheat and try to put your stroller way in the front when there is an order to leave them the personnel will move it as far from the entrance they can and will take you a little longer to get to it.

There are plenty of rides you can do with babies, as many as you will have time to do in a day.

There are some tips, like find out the rides you want to try and the ones that are the bussiest get a "fast pass" and come back at your stated time.

I will recommend that you visit the Disney Park website and print the maps of the attractions you want to visit, then read about the rides and choose the ones that interest you the most, that way you'll know where to go in advance and no waste time reading the map at the last moment.

Any ride that does not state a height limit will be a ride that allows kids and babies any size and age. Believe me there are enough.

I love Disney, I hope you have a great time there!
Any recommendations you would like I'll be happy to give you, send me a message.

Have fun, lots of patience and carry minimum in the stroller!
I always crack up that if you leave a camera on a park bench, it's gone. Put it in a stroller at Disney anywhere and it's safe for a month! People are all aware of strollers there and they just don't touch them. It's great. Yes, parking a stroller at a ride in one location doesn't mena you'll find it in that same location...they do get moved.
Mark the stroller handle with something for easy ID after the ride. Do take the camera but the diaper bag and essentials should be safe to leave.
All the rides are stroller friendly, swap parents when you can, fast pass when you can as well.
You give up riding some rides as a family when you have little ones. We waited until our oldest was 5 before he ever set foot in Disney. We didn't want to hassle swapping or not riding because he was too little. When the second came along, we were already paid at the hotel and tickets in hand when I found I was pregnant and due 3 mo prior to the trip. So we went. I was nervous about leaving the stroller, but shouldn't have been! It was great. We swapped on several rides and it wasn't so bad. We ended up having a great time, even with the baby!!
Staying in a park location is great as the transportation system gets youto and from. We just started doing that a few years ago and LOVE it. Crowded at the end of the night, but you'll manage. Fold up the stroller and go. Remember what was in the stoller (diaper bag, camera bag, purse, etc) now gets to be carried. I gave up my purse early in babyhood for just a wallet in the diaper bag. Carry ONLY essentials in it and you should be good. That way, it's one less bag to carry at the end of a fun day!
Go, have a blast, take lots of pictures!

My experience was that frequently the stroller parking was not close to the entrance of the ride. Or if it was, then when you came out the exit, you had a ways to walk to get the stroller. If your baby likes to be carried in a sling or baby bjorn, make sure you take it. We stood in line for a long time for some rides after having to park the stroller.
You can't lock your stroller, the attendants are frequently moving and organizing the stroller parking. We tied a bandanna to our stroller handle so we could spot it easily.
A book called "The Unofficial Guide to Disney World" is a great help. There is a new edition each year. That's where I learned the bandanna trick. It also said someone poured root beer in a diaper, tied it up in a clear plastic bag and hung it from the stroller so nobody would want it! LOL!
Have fun and pack lots of patience!

We lived near Disneyland when I first had both of my kids, so they basically started going at 3 months and with an annual pass we went often. There is so much to see and do at any age at the parks. Some of our favorites are Small World, Pirates of the Carribean, Haunted Mansion, Buzz Lightyear, Dumbo, Carousel, Jungle Cruise, Winnie the Pooh, and the list goes on and on! ALso, don't forget to check out the fun shows like Country Bear Jamboree. And, the parades are awesome, too!
Strollers are great. I always had the baby strapped in the Baby Bjorn and one in an umbrella stroller. I have never heard of a stroller being stolen, but do mark it in a way that makes it unique, so no one mistakes your stroller for theirs (even if it is just tying a pink ribbon to the handles.)
All Disney parks have "Baby Care Centers" within the park. Find out where these are! They are great to get the kids out of all the excitement if they need a 10 minute break from everything. They have small potties for the little one if they are potty training and they have changing tables. It is very clean and quiet and you are not allowed in there without small children. They also have rocking chairs in a private room for nursing and a "dining area" with high chairs for feeding the kids.
Two other great places for nursing if you aren't worried about privacy....Small World is dark and cool and relaxing and takes 15 minutes to get through. The train that goes around the park is also good for nursing, as your older one will be entertained by the train ride and you can sit in the end of a row out of the way and take the entire trip around the park. I believe that ride gives you 20 minutes.
They offer 'stroller passes' or 'swap passes' on some of the more major rides with long lines. It offers one parent to go on the ride while the second parent waits with the youngest. Then when the first parent is done, they give the pass to the second parent and they don't have to wait in the long line to go on the same ride.
Since we lived nearby and only went one day at a time we had the kids nap in the stroller. But, if you are planning on going multiple days, you might want to get a hotel either on the park property or very close, so that naps can be taken at the hotel (i.e. go to the park in the morning, take a nap at the hotel and maybe do a little swimming in the pool, then go back in the evening to see the lights, late afternoon parades, etc.)
Have tons of fun! Disney caters to ALL ages.
I forgot to mention...when parking your stroller and going on a ride, do not get freaked out if your stroller is not where you left it. Often times, the 'cast members' shift strollers to keep the areas neat and organized, so you may have to search a little for your stroller, but it will always be somewhere in the same stroller parking area!

This October will be my 3 yr olds 5th trip to Disney, she loves it. Obviously, we do too. Next year we will also have a 7 month old when we go since I am pregnant now.

As someone posted earlier there is "stroller parking" all over the place in all four parks. I imagine they will let you wheel the stroller up to the ride but they won't let you take it on. Disney transportaion requires you to fold the stroller up before getting on with the exception of the boats and the monorail. I think a stroller getting stolen is very very rare, those stroller lots have hundreds of strollers in them and some really nice ones at that.The CM's will cut bike locks to move a stroller, locks are not allowed. In any case we had our daughters name embroidered on her stroller only because we see about 20 pink Maclarens in the lot each time so it makes it easier to find.

Most rides at the Magic Kingdom are good for a toddler with the exception of the roller coasters. But beware, rides like Pirates of the Carribean and Haunted Mansion will let you take her....but it will probably scare the pants off her.

They have a baby swap program that works like a fast pass. The family goes up to the CM and says we need a baby swap....one parent and child can ride and as soon as they come out of the ride the other parents (with up to 3 extra people) can hop in the fast pass line without waiting in line again.

The biggest advice I can give is take breaks mid-day. Disney can be overwhelming and tiring for adults let alone a toddler. We always go back to our villa and nap or swim and head back to the parks in the evening.

Check out Disboards.com, they have a huge amount of information on everything Disney.

There is "stroller parking" at each attraction/ride that is organized by a Disney Cast Member. There really isn't and issue about locking it up, however certainly take your camera, wallet, any valuables with you. Many attractions require you to park the stroller before entering the queue line, but some allow you to wheel all the way through. The cast members will let you know. My biggest suggestion to you is to spend time on the website, poking around the Magic Kingdom Park webpage. That is the park where you will have the most rides, shows, parades and character greetings. Also, call 407-W-Disney (sorry, no 800 number) and ask many questions. Staying at a Disney resort and booking your restaurants in advance (I'm talking MONTHS) will ensure a smooth, and efficient vacation for you. The last thing you want is a 20 minute car ride plus a 20 minute parking lot experience each morning with little ones. Nor do you want to take your little one to dine with Mickey but find out that all seating times have been booked up (sold out) for the past months leaving you to navigate a busy cafeteria style place for lunch or dinner. I was a Vacation Planner for Walt Disney World for many years before having my children and moving out of FL. Those are my best tips without getting too carried away! LOL

I can't add much that hasn't been said, but I have to say, witht he person that was saying about nursing? I brought my 8 month old to Magic Kingdom 2 years ago. It was a rainy day and we had to wear ponchos a lot, and he did OK with that. I was really glad I had brought my Moby sling! I walked around the park with him nursing and no one was the wiser. Amazing what a good sling and good nursing shirt can do for you! haha! Then I had him in he sling onthe back and he conked out and we rode the pirates of the caribean and the Jungle cruise without him even waking. Just kept him tied on. :)

But with the others, totally mark your stroller somehow, plan ahead where you want to go, and don't forget the baby swap when you can't take him on the ride.
