My husband and I thought we knew everything there was to know about Walt Disney World – until we had our first son. All of a sudden everything was turned on its head – what were Baby Care Centers? Kids under three were free… really? How did Character Meet ‘n Greets work? Would we still be able to ride Space Mountain? We were also no longer sure that we would wait until our son was at least five years old until we brought him for his first Walt Disney World trip,
Inspiration struck suddenly on a Walt Disney World trip my husband and I took by ourselves when our son was one. We slowed down on that trip and looked at Walt Disney World from the perspective of young parents. We became even more amazed by the brilliance of the Walt Disney World Resort design – there is truly something for everyone from the youngest visitors to grandparents celebrating their Golden anniversary. We noticed all sorts of touches and distractions that fit seamlessly into the theming but offered opportunities for little ones to explore these hidden activities. Have you ever noticed the miniature train village in Epcot’s Germany Pavilion or the monkeys swinging up high near the entrance to Kali River Rapids in Animal Kingdom? By the time we left Walt Disney World, we made the decision to introduce our son to the magic of Disney World when he was two.
When we returned home, my research started in earnest. Before I knew it I had a book! Beyond the Attractions: A Guide to Walt Disney World with Preschoolers focuses on visiting Walt Disney World with children ages 2-5. The book has expanded over the years and includes information on planning, lodging, dining, best attractions for little ones and attractions to avoid, child care, safety, parades, maps, and more!
My website, Beyond the Attractions, contains more information about my book, reviews, and links to all my blog posts on Chip and Company and WDW Fan Zone. I hope you’ll share your thoughts on traveling to Walt Disney World with small children and your best Disney tips on our Facebook page or on Twitter.
