Summer DW trip plan and a New Baby on the way, any suggestions??

maelae11 · 10-11-2007

So I planned a big family trip to DW for August of this year. Well, It turns out we'll be having an other little guest joining us on our Disney adventure. I'm pregnant!!!! With the current due date, the baby will be about 3 1/2 months old. I have told the entire traveling party that we're still going.

I have never been to Disney with an infant before, especially one that small. I did take my DS there when he was 18 months. And that was in October. Any traveling tips to traveling to DW with an infant in August?

congrats!! just take advantage of the baby care centers - both for feeding/diapers and relief from the heat!

take your own stroller - it will be waaay better for an infant.

be prepared to take lots of breaks, to get out of the heat.

even tho it'll be super hot, i'd think about a baby sling - it would be so convenient, and if the baby was sleeping, easy to still go on some rides (you know, the ones that you can take a little one) and shows without the uncomfortable feeling in your arms from holding a sleeping baby for a long time. plus, if the baby is upset/scared/whatever the sling helps them feel closer to you/comforted. i loved my sling, can ya tell?

I think you'll still have an awesome trip! congrats again!!

Congrats! Traveling with an infant can often times be easier than traveling with a todler. At that age, they will sleep a lot.
