When we told people that we were taking our then six-month-old baby girl to Disney World, but then the question was asked, what do you do with babies at Disney World? Quite frankly, they called us crazy. “She won’t remember any of this,” was said to us quite a few times. Or even “seems like more work than what it is worth!”
We ignored all of them and took our baby anyway because Disney World is the most magical place on earth and that’s for EVERYONE, young and old.

Walt Disney World Resort
The first fans stepped into Disney World in Florida in October of 1971. This was the dream of one man, Walt Disney. According to Frommers.com, “[in 1964] began secretly buying millions of dollars worth of Central Florida farmland.” Seven years later, Disney would open the “most magical place on earth,” in Orlando, Florida.
Today, the vast magic consists of four theme parks; Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. On top of that, there are over 25 resort hotels that guests can stay at very close to the parks in order to keep the magic going even when they step out of the park’s gates.

TriceraTop Spin
Location: Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park
This one was so much for the whole family. All of us were able to fit into the the same Triceratops. Also, at least for us, the wait wasn’t long at all. It’s graded for any height and all ages. The thrill type is “slow rides” and “spinning” according to the Walt Disney World app.
“Fly high on a dinosaur around a twirling tin-toy top at this delightful carnival-inspired attraction.”
Adventurers Outpost
Location: Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park
This is one of many locations at many of the parks to meet your son or daughter’s favorite characters. Mickey AND Minnie just happened to be hanging out the day we explored Animal Kingdom so we met them. Now, in the interest of time, the wait was kind of long so we hacked this one. We ended up using one of our Fast Passes that we bought ahead of time to get us ahead in the line. Worth it when your baby is due for a nap but you still want to meet the characters!
