Congratulations on going to Walt Disney World! I'm sure you and your son will have a wonderful time. Don't worry, I'm sure your son will do absolutely fine on the plan. If you can, try to get him something to chew on while he is in the air. Chewing on things in the plane helps your ears from not popping. If you can, try to get him excited about it.
Once you get to Florida, you absolutely HAVE to do Disneys Magical Express. I'm sure you can find tickets to get on it on the Disney website. How this works:
1. You make your arrival at the Orlando Airport
2. You find the Disneys Magical Express bus that goes to your resort.
3. The bus takes you to your resort to check in.
Disney takes care of your luggage for you! You can go and take your trip in the park, by the time you come back, your luggage will be waiting in your room! It's so convenient. Also, the bus is very nice. They show you a movie on the way there to get you excited for your trip. It also shows you how to check into your resort. They have little TVs all over the bus. They keep the bus very cleanly, and it's not even a bus; It's a motorcoach!
I did the Disneys Magical Express during my last vacation and loved every aspect of it. It's saves so much hassle!
Have lots of fun on your trip.We are travelling to walt disney world in florida in a few weeks and wondered if anyone had an advice or tips?
Bring plenty of money, snacks for your son, and anything else he needs to keep happy. You can always rent a stroller at the parks, so if you don't want to carry a stroller with you on the plane, I would suggest rental.
You may not be spending as much time in the parks (because toddlers need their naps!), so you could plan to stay at a Disney hotel with a pool or other fun activities for kids.
Definitely for you, bring sunscreen, bathing suits, plenty of clothes and a few extra outfits just in case of drink spills, etc., and don't underestimate the weather--bring ponchos and an extra pair of shoes!!! (it rains a lot and your shoes can get soaked!)
Bring stuff for the plane that will keep him entertained, like crayons, books, and also a portable dvd player (these come in handy!).
When you get into the Magic Kingdom, go straight for Fantasyland. This will be your son's favorite land there. Toontown is also popular with 2 year olds. It gets crowded as the day goes on.
Do NOT go to the parks with the Extra Magic hours on the Extra magic hour day! It may be tempting to go and get the extra 3 hours at night or 1 hr in the morning, but everyone else thinks so too! These are the most crowded days to be at these parks. If you have a park hopper ticket, hop back to that park for the extra hours.
Bring your own stroller and goodies for your son, and you will save money.
Take advantage of kid swap, so youguys can go on the bigger rides too.
Have FUN!!!!
Make sure you bring a stroller from home. Don't bring a good Graco one, though. Bring a little cheapy one that folds easily. Navigating and airport without a stroller will be a nightmare. Also, you can rent strollers from the theme parks, but they cost $10 a day and are only at the four major theme parks, which means you'll be hauling your son through parking lots, hotels, Downtown Disney and waterparks if you go there.
Next, Disney does allow you to bring in a diaper back/backpack. Make sure you pack little bags of cheerios or some other snacks. Food is expensive in the parks, so if you can save a little on snacks, bring them in with you. Bring water in, too.
If you are allowing yourself a day to relax and stay out of the parks you can head over to Fort Wilderness Campground. There is a petting zoo and pony rides there. There is also a buffet that is a good price and has good food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Take plenty snacks and things to keep him amused on the flight, also take something like calpol (infant paracetamol) just incase.
Take a cheap stroller, but one that reclines, they are very expensive to rent from Disney. Also a parasol and sun block.
If he wont be scared from the characters I would say book a character meal.
Most of all, relax and have fun, dont try to do too much.
Remember take lots of photos!
take a stroller and make sure your son is fastened in with the seat belt. it gets VERY crowded in the amusement parks and if you haven't found a hotel i recommend Star Island Resort. It was so cheap I couldn't believe it and its very fun also its close to the amusement parks.
have fun!!!
Apart from the stroller, bring a cap and sunscreen. The sun is hard at time, especially for a young boy. Also, try to find a way to buy small bottles of water that you can carry easily. In the park, they are really expensive.
Take good walking shoes, take breaks in the day to cool off and relax then hit the parks again, drink lots of water, and make dinner reservations an Ohana's at the Polynesian Resort you wont regret it =)
Get the unofficial guide to Disney. It is very helpful and has all the tips you need to know
Make sure you make reservations at chef mickeys! You will loveee it.
