Packing for an Infant Traveling to Disney World

I recently took my son to Disney World at the age of 7 months. I learned so much about all aspects of taking a child to Disney and would love to share some of my packing tips!

Getting there besides all the normal baby essentials in the diaper bag, I recommend the following:

• Garbage bags- you can use these as an extra layer to place down on those germy changers in airports or on the road
• Disposable bibs- easy and cheap, one less thing to clean
• Baby food in plastic containers- easy and don’t have to worry about breakage
• Disposable utensils- again easy
• Nursing cover (if you nurse)
• Binky- even if your child isn’t a huge binky fan the extra sucking eases the ear pain on a flight

 For the room:

• Packnplay sheet- Disney will provide you with a packnplay and also a sheet, but I like to use my own
• Lysol- spray down the packnplay and if you are me, everything else
• Large blanket- you know your little one will want to explore, place it on the floor to keep them off the carpet
• Bedtime books- reading a few familiar stories at night helps in a new place

At the parks:

• Items from the “getting there” list
• Reclining umbrella stroller- we had the chicco echo. You will want an easy to fold stroller for the buses, but will also want the recline option for naps at the park.
• Toys that attach to stroller- this was a LIFESAVER! Keep your child entertained in the stroller or high chair without them throwing the toys on the ground/floor
• Hat/sunscreen it is Florida!
• Clothes that can layer- the air conditioning can get chilly and depending on the season you may go from shorts to a jacket in the same day
• Autograph book with slots for pictures- even at 7 months my son loved the characters and even playing with the book at the character dinners
• Camera- many use their phones, but this will kill your battery and you may miss something! I always bring a camera in addition to my phone
