Five reasons to take your toddler to Disney
If you are a family with little ones you may think you have to wait to travel. Not necessarily, Traveling when your children are toddlers can be a fun experience and it can you SAVE you money. Its all about planning and being flexible. You may not be able to do everything on your vacation wishlist but you can still have fun making memories and traveling as a family.
Disney Vacations are such a blast with children(even without them) I am here to tell you that taking your toddler has to be one of the best times. No matter how many times you have been, each time with your child is like a new experience.
Some feel taking a child to Disney when they can’t remember would be a waste, that is simply not true. Making memories with your children is ALWAYS pleasant, no matter how old there are. Below I am going to tell you five reasons you should take your toddler to Disney.
1. They are FREE
You read that right. Kids are Free 99 ages 3 and under.
We have taken advantage of this. We went when my daughter was 3 months and my son was 3. We didn’t have to pay for either of them and we had a blast dressing up for dapper day. My son was only 1 1/2 the first time he went to Disney. He had a blast meeting the characters. By the time he was three, he was old enough to have favorite rides. The fact that you can save money on their tickets is a BIG draw for many families. Sure they may not remember it but YOU WILL.
2.Magic Kingdom has over 33 rides
Magic Kingdom by far is the best park for a toddler. There are so many rides that they can ride. My sons favorite is the Buzz Lightyear ride. I was able to baby wear on that ride as well so his sister can come along(when she was a baby). He is at the age now that he can get on the big rollercoasters but even if your child can’t , you can do a parent swap and still enjoy those rides.
3. If you have to fly children 2 and under fly for free
Disney is expensive and I am always looking for a way to save a little money(FYI: you can bring in water and lunch to the park so you can save a little bit there too) Flying can be expensive. So if you come to Disney when your children are toddlers you can save on airfare and the price of admission to the parks. WIN WIN.

4.Disney is VERY accommodating for babies and toddler.
Each park has an air-conditioned baby center with changing tables, highchairs, microwaves and nursing rooms so everyone in the family can rest up. The parks are very stroller friendly and cast members are so wonderful to the younger guest. Also, when eating there, you have plenty of high chairs. While staying on property they have free pack n plays you can use. The also eat free at the buffets so you get to save a little money there as well.
5.You get to experience Disney through their eyes
A toddler still believes in that Disney magic, they see a character and they usually love it (some may run lol) but overall Disney is a place where their little faces light up. When you see that happen it makes you live the experience through their eyes.
Disney with a toddler doesn’t have to be an overwhelming experience, it can be an enjoyable one for all of you. If you live in Florida and you are a pass-holder., You can even enjoy a day trip with your toddler.
