Top 5 Reasons to Take Your Child to Disney World Before the Age of 3
Traveling to any vacation destination with a baby or toddler can feel daunting between packing all the baby gear and navigating the airport or a long road trip. However, Disney World can be the perfect place to vacation with your little one before he or she turns 3-years-old.
Free Theme Park Admission
Children under the age of 3 are considered the guests of Mickey; they can enter the theme parks without a ticket! While babies and toddlers aren’t able to ride every attraction, there are lots of easy-going rides that do not have height requirements. Magic Kingdom in particular has a lot to offer little ones with classic attractions like it’s a small world, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, and Peter Pan’s Flight.
No Extra Cost for Meals
Dining at Disney World can get pricey, but there is no extra cost for children under the age of 3 to share off of their parents’ plates. This is a huge plus for character dining where even the cost for children ages 3 to 9 is typically more than $30 for breakfast and more than $40 for dinner. Character dining is also a great option since the characters come to your table, so there is no need for your little one to wait in line.
Convenient Baby Care Centers
Baby care centers can be a real life-saver for little ones and their parents. Located in each of the four theme parks, they have everything from changing tables and nursing rooms to microwaves to heat up food for your child. Baby care centers are also your go-to spot if you have run out of any essentials like diapers or wipes and need to purchase some.
Family-friendly Accommodations
All Disney resorts are family-friendly, but DVC villas are especially convenient with babies and toddlers. The One Bedroom Villas and larger rooms offer more space and separate rooms, which is helpful when your child is napping or sleeping. Plus the home away from home features like a full kitchen and washer and dryer mean you have everything you need to prepare bottles for babies, make easy meals or snacks for toddlers, or wash clothes if things get messy. Don’t forget you can also request pack-and-plays or mini cribs and high chairs from housekeeping!
Priceless Memories
Sure, your baby or toddler won’t remember the trip, but for parents there are plenty of precious memories to be made. You’ll never forget seeing your little one’s eyes light up upon seeing a favorite character. Even for longtime Disney fans, enjoying the parks with your child and seeing Disney World through his or her eyes can give you a whole new appreciation for the parks.
