Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Disney world with a 10 month old...

Hi Ladies!

My LO is 4 months old and I also have 2 step-daughters.  For Christmas, we are thinking of flying to Disney World.

Would you go to Disney World and the other Disney parks with a 9.5 month old?  Why or why not?

Any suggestions from those who have traveled with LO?  LO will be 9.5 months old at the time and I EBF.

TIA!

  • Hmm that's a tough one.

    At 9 months DD was crawling and didn't like being in her stroller for too long bc she wanted to get out and move around. (Same thing now, too)  Bc of that, flying would have been tough. While in the park she prob would have been ok bc there is a lot to look at, but still, she wouldn't be happy in there alllll day.

    As far as napping and eating---DD is a good sleeper, and will nap anywhere, so that wouldn't have been an issue. And by that time she was eating almost 100% table foods, so that would make traveling easier too.

    Sorry I dont have a definitive answer for you. You know your LO best. If LO is a go-with-the-flow kind of baby, you'll be fine. If not, it might be tougher than usual. GL!

  • I personally would not at this point, my son is 11 months. I also EBF him and although he eats other foods as well now, he's still really attached to nursing. This would be hard to do in the middle of a theme park because the older they get, the more distracted they can be while you're attempting to nurse them. And as far as naps go, he NEEDS his naps or he's a total cranky-butt. Napping in the stroller could work though. I wouldn't feel as though I got my money's worth for myself if I was mainly taking care of a baby all day. However, if your stepdaughters are old enough to help, maybe that could change the situation around a little too! Go with your gut though :-)

    Yes, I would bring my 10 month old there. But I love going on vacation with him and taking him anywhere. The trip will really be for the older ones, but you and the LO will still have a good time. There is a whole website on doing Disney with a baby, if you google it, it will come up. There are all kinds of nice nursing/changing rooms throughout the park. My 10 month old would love Disney right now, but we are waiting to take him for his 1st bday.

    To me the only issue would be napping. My kid is not the type to just fall asleep anywhere. He needs a crib and a dark room. For that reason alone we wouldn't be able to do Disney now. If that isn't an issue for you, I think it is do-able.

  • My oldest is 11.5 months and we take her to Sea World and Busch Gardens on the regular. She loves looking at the animals and things like that, but rides not so much. I havent been to Disney since I was REALLY little, but I'd only think that babies this tiny would enjoy the characters, but not really much else. I could be wrong though. But I definitely recommend going to Sea World if and when you guys come! Annabelle had a total blast!

  • We actually just went to WDW last week for 3 days. There were quite a bit of rides/shows we took DS on/to, but of course there was way more to do for my niece(8) & nephew(7). DS took naps in his stroller. He loved watching all the people & we would also let him out of stroller to walk around. 1 of the days we actually stayed at the magic kingdom park the whole day(11a-midnight/1a) & DS did well. I just made sure to bring plenty of snacks/water/formula for DS each day.

    Heres a site I can suggest:  https://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwplan.htm
