in Toddlers: 24 Months+

We are taking out DS to Disney World for his 3rd birthday and I would LOVE some tips on how to survive :)  Also is there anywhere on line that I can get a printout of show times? I looked on the Disney website but didn't see anything...hopefully some of you disney guru's may have some ideas or sites to point me in the right direction!

 

thanks!
Stef

    Check out wdwmagic.com, they have forums and a ton of info.  I think the show times vary day to day, so I'm not sure what you are looking for.  We took our daughter last December and are going again this December (47 more days!!!  woot woot).  There is lots of walking, so make sure you have comfy shoes for you and your child.  We take our stroller, but find most of the time she walks, but it's nice to have during nap time.  I would suggest a backpack for your diaper bag and carry-all bag, you will be glad you took it when you are standing in lines.  It is nice to have your hands free!  I would pack snacks that you can keep in your bag.  Disney food is expensive if you are not on a dining plan or didn't get free dining, so it helps to take some of your own snacks.  I can't think of anything right now, but I'm sure I will.

    We took SD for her second birthday in July. 

    Bring into the park(s):

    -Sunscreen

    -Water bottles

    -Snacks 

    -Camera & extra batteries 

    Depending on what time of year you're going, you might want to throw in some rain ponchos.

     How many parks are you planning to go to? How many days?

    I haven't been yet, but I remember a tip a friend told me. Purchase personalized temp tatoos or personalized i.d. bracelets for the kids to wear in case of separtation. seems like a good thing to have in case.

    Those change, so you'll need to look right before you go.

    We have taken DD 3 times (just got back a week and a half ago) and she has the time of her life! I'd try to have a basic plan for your priorities, but be flexible. DD's nap times are often off when we're there. Sometimes she gets tired earlier than normal. The best days were when we were able to get back to the room for her to take a nice, long nap. My DH usually napped too. :)

    If you need help planning, you could check out touringplans.com, which is pretty inexpensive. You're going to have a blast!
