February & March 2007 Sweet Muffins

Caroline is REALLY into the Disney princess and I would love to take her to the Disney World. I'd only want to take her to Magic Kingdom. Just today, it came up at work that DH needs to go to Orlando for a conference thing later this month. We'd go either a few days before, or stay a few days later than he needed to be there for "work", so we could all go to the park. We'd be at a hotel in the middle of town somewhere, rather than near DW.

It would be about a 10 hour drive for us, so it's kinda a big ordeal. I'm very much a planning, non-spontaneous person and wonder if we really need to do this. Or would we be better off to wait another year or so and plan to stay in the park, so we can easily go back to the room for naps, etc. Also, I'm still breastfeeding the little one (will be 6 months then), and am not really comfortable nursing in public. Are there any semi-private sorta areas to use for nursing? Can we take the baby on some rides? Or will one parent have to sit out most of the time with him?

I think admission is free for kids under 3, so in a way it would be nice to hurry up and go. I'm just concerned about how it would work with the baby along. I always said I wanted to wait until my kids were older to take them (4-6 age-range), so they'd remember it, but still be young enough that it was still magical.

Let me know what you think and if you have any advice. It's been about 9 years since I've been to DW.

Julie,

I say go only because DH is going and it will be conveninet.

DW is known in the business world for being the best of the best.  Best Practices, employer of choice, cleanliness, etc.

I would just call them and ask all the questions, I am sure you will get all your answers.  I won't be surprised if they have specific places to breastfeed.

Go and have fun :-)

We are considering a Disney cruise next year, hope to go.

 

 

  

 

                                   

                                        

          

 

Yes Yes and Yes go and enjoy!  They have areas for you to nurse.  Here is that I found you.

Baby stations are cast member staffed areas in each of the four major parks that are set up for helping you to care for your child. They have changing areas, high chairs for feeding, breast feeding rooms, adult restroom, hot water, sinks for washing, and a room with toys and videos for your older children. These amenities are free for guest of the parks.

In addition, the stations can supply, for a small charge, emergency items that you may have forgotten to take to the park that day. Things such as, formula, diapers, Disney baby clothes, children's medicines, and other small necessities to help you get through the day. Use these stations often to get away from the hustle and bustle of the parks and to get off your feet.

These are not day care facilities so there is no place for your child to nap, but they are a great place to get your baby out of the sun for a few minutes. You will love these stations once you use them.

The First Aid Stations are usually adjacent to the Baby Stations!

 

Have a BLAST and have a Caramel Apple for me they have the best!!!

 

Here is where they are located.

Magic Kingdom --  at the end of Main Street, behind the Crystal Palace Restaurant on you way to Adventureland. It is tucked away in a small courtyard near the first aid station.

Epcot -- on the backside of the Odyssey Restaurant on the walkway from Test Track to Mexico. This is a very neat station as many times the workers from the Mexican Pavilion come over to relieve the cast members. It is great to talk to them about their travels and country while you are taking a break.

Disney's Hollywood Studios -- just inside the entrance near guest services on the left as you enter.

Animal Kingdom -- near the Creature Comforts gift shop on the left side of The Tree of Life.
