Disney With Baby 👶🏾 Any advice, tips, etc.? ONLY comment if you have taken your baby to Disney!

Question

Hello ladies! My husband and I, along with my parents and his parents, are taking our daughter to Disney in two weeks. She is only 13 months so of course she is not excited, but we are!!! 🙌🏾 This is not our first time going to Disney, however it will be our first time going since becoming parents. We are so excited to take her to Disney for the first time. We also plan to visit SeaWorld while there. Like I mentioned, she is 13 months and I am wondering what is there for her to do at Disney. Any rides for children her age? I have heard some people say it is nothing for babies and toddlers to do at Disney. However, I have also heard people say it is plenty for babies and toddlers to do at Disney. I do not know what to believe. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Any other advice and tips will be helpful and appreciated as well. Feel free to share your Disney experiences. Thanks in advance. 😊

Tips:
Make a stroller tag, don't want to lose it in a sea of strollers while waiting in line.
Take time to relax and let her nap.
Download the Disney park app.
Plan out your days using fastpasses USE THEM. They're worth it.
Make dining reservations if you want somewhere special.
 Here's a list of height requirements.
Take her inital (a white wooden letter) to have the characters sign vs. the little book, so much cuter to display in their room.
We took my son for his 2nd birthday and we did plenty. He rode about 5 rides a day.

I haven’t taken my son yet (March!!) but I’ve done a lot of research bc I went while I was pregnant last year. Basically most of the rides toddlers can go on. I’d say use your judgment (obviously no coasters) but most of the rides are kid friendly. Don’t know if you’re doing DisneyLand or DisneyWorld but Magic Kingdom is basically toddler friendly (again use you’re judgement - Haunted Mansion probably isn’t that best one to try). I wanted to take my son to Seaworld too but couldn’t fit it in our schedule. But have fun! Bring snacks, drinks, and use the baby stations! Pinterest has a lot of helpful blogs on taking babies to Disney. Have fun!

Answer

So I’m unsure if you’re doing Disney WORLD or DisneyLAND... but at Disneyland here are the rides I did with my son starting at 3 months (we are local and go a lot):
 
Pirates, Nemo, Small World, EVERYTHING in Fantasyland essentially (especially Casey Jrs Train), Hahnted Mansion, Astro Orbitor, Astro Blaster, Winnie the Pooh, Tarzan’s Tree House (walk through), Jungle Cruise....
 
Mickeys Magical Map is a musical and super fun show for the kids too.  Toon town - visit Goofy’s house for a small playground and a place to safely run around and play.  Mickeys House has a lot to look at too.  
 
Child Center is at the END of Main Street by the Corn Dog Truck and First Aid.  There are microwaves inside and larger PADDED changing stations.  They even have high chairs to feed the littles.
 
Bring a stroller that reclines for napping AND a baby carrier (I use my Ergo).  Carriers are GREAT for the long lines.  
 
Pack TWO sets of clothes AND layers.  Even here in CA it gets chilly at night.  Bring two blankets at well (one to cover while sunny and they’re napping).  
 
Also... PACK SNACKS!!  This is ESSENTIAL especially if your kiddo is picky.  You can get free filtered water at the Park from any drink station, but food can get expensive.  I always pack extra snacks and EASY snacks in ziplock baggies for in line or in the stroller.  Nothing sticky or that will melt easily.  Also pack they’re favorite juice or milk.  I bring a wide neck water bottle to easily refill.  Can bring THAT into the lines and onto the rides unlike cups with straws.  
 
I also bring a small backpack to wear myself with my essentials - some snacks and small water bottle and my wallet.  I added a ribbon to the handle of my stroller so it stuck out and even bought “fairy lights” to wrap on the stroller for at night (via Amazon).
 
Note on a map where ALL the bathrooms are.  Hehehe.
