re: Disney With Toddlers

okay, so if the seven year old jumps in it's kosher.. Cool.

Because without the stroller I would be giving shoulder rides all day.

Hell at the end of the night you might see adults in them...

We are leaving Friday with a 6 month and 3 year old. It's usually a ton of Louisiana people at Disney during Mardi Gras.

Disney With Toddlers
can I piggyback this thread??

I am going to Disney in six days. We are bringing two girls aged 5 and 7. The five year old had open heart surgery as an infant and tires easily. (she is fine now and the cardiologist said it wasn't related to the heart but still..) Would it seem odd or questionable to have a five year old in a stroller at Disney?


If the five year old needs a stroller to prevent her from becoming overtaxed I would say do it no matter I if it seems odd or questionable.. Not sure but wonder if Disney has child size wheelchairs? Don't worry about how others may perceive a 5 year old in a stroller or wheelchair. What's important is the well being of the 5 year old. An ex-pediatric nurse here.

I bought a sit and stand. She is really healthy, just seems to get tired easily.
Wheelchair is out of the question.

After what she has been through, if anyone looks at you weird or gives you shite, tell them why and then let them feel like shite before telling them to frick off

who gives a shite what other people think? Do what you need to podnah

It was mid 80's today. I saw those kids today that had been to the boutique and thought, that looks hot as hell...

Can you bring big strollers in the park or is it better to rent one?

We've taken our almost 2-year old daughter twice since October. This most recent trip we flew, so we rented a stroller from Kingdom Strollers and couldn't have been happier. They dropped it off to our resort before we even got there and we left it for them to pick up on our departure day. The stroller was good quality and folded very easily. It was a good choice for us because I didn't have to lug a stroller around any of the airports, but we still had the luxury of using it inside and outside of the parks. LINK


With regards to which parks, MK and AK in WDW are the obvious ones. Island of Adventure has the Seuss Landing area that the kids should love.

Don't overlook Hollywood Studios. At that age, they would probably really enjoy the Disney Jr Live stage show and possibly the Little Mermaid show just across the courtyard. There's also MuppetVision 3D and the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids playground. And my daughter LOVED The Great Movie Ride.

As for Epcot, there's more there for kids than you think. It's definitely changed a bit since you were a kid. Here's a list of attractions we took our little one on that she liked:
-The Seas with Nemo and Friends (omnimover ride)
-Turtle Talk with Crush (show)
-Living with the Land (boat ride)
-Spaceship Earth (omnimover ride)
-Journey into the Imagination with Figment (ride)
-Gran Fiesta Tour (boat ride in Mexico pavilion)
-The Maelstrom (boat ride in Norway pavilion)

Also, she loved riding the boats from Epcot to Hollywood Studios as well as the monorail.
