Are you
planning a trip with your little ones to visit Mickey? Here are some ways to
spice up the magic:
Tip -1-
Meals with a Disney flavor:
Build up
the excitement by cooking creative meals that have a Disney flavor for your
kids. For example, you can buy uncooked pasta in the shape of Mickey Mouse and
whip up a delicious and healthy meal for your princes and princesses with that.
"The Gourmet Pantry" in DTD carries it. You can call them at
407-828-3886 to order.
Tip -2-
Avoid the crowd:
Crowds are
annoying especially when you have kids with you, so it is wise to go when
schools are in session.
Tip -3-
Hands-free:
Considering
bringing along the Playtex Hip Hammock if you are traveling with an
infant/toddler. If your child is between 15 to 35 pounds, the hammock works
perfectly. It keeps you hands-free while waiting for the bus, standing in line,
tending to your older kids and browsing in shops. You can also take your
toddler on rides with the Hammock. This is handy. It will make your trip just
that much more enjoyable.
Tip -4-
Save your sanity:
Kids get
impatient while waiting in line, so bring snacks and toys to distract them.
Take frequent breaks to prevent exhausting the kids. In the Magic Kingdom at
Walt Disney World, kids can chill out at Ariel's Grotto and Donald's Boat.
Ariel’s Grotto is a great place for kids to cool off in the kids water area and
the interactive play area of Donald’s Boat allows children to ring the bell and
steer the ship of Donald's ill-fated leaky. You may wish to arrive at the parks
early in the morning, so that your kids can have a nap in the afternoon. This
will keep them refreshed for the parades and fireworks.
Tip -5-
Research rides:
It is
important to research rides beforehand because young children may be frightened
by loud noise or darkness. If your child is too young to ride Test Track at
Epcot, a nice alternative is to duck into Test Track’s gift shop/ exit and let
him/her ride on the cars in the shop.
Tip -6- Dining options:
There is a
free Baby Care Center in each Disney park, so head for one when you are looking
at some peace and quiet when feeding your baby/toddler. These centers are
equipped with rockers, high chairs, and toys. There are even formula and baby
food for sale. Do remember to plan one character meal because your trip won’t
be complete if the little ones don’t get to mingle with their favorite
characters.
