Navigating the Magic: Essential Travel Tips for Bringing Young Children to Disney World

Updated: Jan 15

Embarking on a magical journey to Disney World with your tiny jet-setters ? As a mom, the prospect of navigating the enchanting world of Disney with young kids might seem like a daunting task. Fear not! Our Travel in a Teacup team has been there and we can help guide you through the process. This blog post is your guide to making the most of the experience while keeping stress at bay.


  • Plan Strategically:

  • Before you even set foot in the park, create a flexible itinerary. Identify must-see attractions and plan around your kids' nap times. Utilize Disney's Genie Plus and Lightning Lane to minimize wait times for popular rides.

  • Pack Wisely:

  • Don't forget the essentials! Pack sunscreen, hats, and comfortable clothing for the family. Strollers are a must for tired little legs, and consider bringing a small backpack with snacks and water bottles to keep everyone fueled and hydrated. Be sure to pack ponchos and stroller covers for rainy days. You can rent a stroller through Travel in a Teacup for a seamless experience!

  • Character Meet-and-Greets:

  • Make magical memories by scheduling character meet-and-greets. Check the park schedule for character locations and plan your day accordingly. Reserve character dining with the top characters your little one would like to see. This ensures your little ones get to meet their favorite Disney friends without long waits.

  • Rise and Shine:

  • Arriving early allows you to take advantage of shorter lines and cooler temperatures. Take advantage of the morning hours when the parks are less crowded, and the temperature is more bearable for little ones. When staying at a Disney hotel, take advantage of the 30-minute Early Theme Park Entry to rope drop the most popular rides.

  • Utilize Rider Swap:

  • For attractions with height restrictions, take advantage of Disney's Rider Swap service. This allows one parent to wait with the non-riding child while the other enjoys the attraction. Then, swap roles without waiting in line again!

  • Stay Hydrated and Take Breaks:

  • Florida's sun can be intense, especially for young children. Stay hydrated by carrying water bottles and take breaks in shaded areas to rest and cool down. Utilize indoor attractions during the hottest parts of the day.

  • Kid-Friendly Attractions:

  • Disney World offers a plethora of kid-friendly attractions. Research and prioritize those that cater to younger age groups, ensuring your little ones have a magical experience tailored to their interests.

  • Embrace Flexibility:

  • While planning is essential, be prepared to adapt. Disney World is full of surprises, and sometimes the best moments are unplanned. Allow room for spontaneity to make the trip truly magical.

With careful planning and a dash of pixie dust, your trip to Disney World with young kids can be an unforgettable adventure. Embrace the magic, stay flexible, and savor the joy on your little ones' faces as they experience the wonder of Disney. Safe travels, and may your Disney adventure be filled with enchantment!
