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
