A Disney Lifesaver... Disney Worlds Baby Care Centers

My wife and I love taking our girls to Walt Disney World when they are young. I know many people want to wait till they get older but I have always lived by the Proverb “Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old, they will not depart from it.” So we have been taking our girls from 5 months on. One of the lifesavers for us has been the Baby Care Centers.

Baby Care Centers are in all 4 theme parks and each have their own theme inside. They are a perfect place to break away from the park to change and feed your little ones. Not only do they have changing tables, rocking chairs, nursing mom rooms, and restrooms; they have a little mini drug store in there too. You never know when you might need some children’s Tylenol or Motrin.

Here are their locations:

Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom theme park features a Baby Care Center next to The Crystal Palace restaurant on Main Street, U.S.A. There is a lot of traffic going towards the Crystal Palace but the restrooms and baby care center are not to busy. It’s next door to the First Aid Center.

Hidden Oasis for Parents – Disney World Baby Care Centers

May 18, 2012 by Jenn Leave a Comment

For most vacationers, standard routines go out the window. Regularly scheduled meals, diapers, potty breaks, naps, go out the window in search of magic and fun. But, even though the schedules may not be exact, Walt Disney World provides a safe haven for families to escape to, in search of return to normalcy.

Located in all four parks, though not at the water park or Downtown Disney, these baby care centers are nice and air conditioned, providing a comfortable place to cool down and relax. There is a room full of changing tables, cleaned in between each diaper change by cast members, high chairs, and private nursing rooms. There is a microwave to heat up food or bottles, fresh bottles of water (for free!) to mix formulas, or simply have a drink!

A separate room usually has a Disney movie on, and a big open area for children to run around without fears of bumping into other people, or getting run over by strollers. Chairs or couches line the walls, so parents can sit and relax while their children burn off energy from being in strollers all day.

Forget anything? Bottles, formula, baby food, diapers, or wipes? These, along with bibs and other Disney paraphernalia are for sale in the Baby Care Centers as well. As per Disney custom, expect them to cost a bit more than at your local store, but not insanely unreasonable, especially in an emergency!

Other bathrooms around the parks having changing stations, but none nearly as nice (actual changing tables with changing pads!) or as clean as in the Baby Care Centers. Unfortunately, there is only one changing station per park, so it may not always work to run all the way for a simple diaper change or a very hungry and fussy baby feeding, but if you’re in the general vicinity you will have a wonderful refuge waiting for you.

By park, the Baby Care Centers are located:

Magic Kingdom – next to the Crystal Palace Restaurant on Main Street, U.S.A.
EPCOT – Inside Future World’s Odyssey Center, near the Mexico Pavilion.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom – In Discovery Island, behind Creature Comforts (look for the ladybugs!)
Disney’s Hollywood Studios - In the Guest Services Building inside the Main Entrance.

On a related note for nursing mothers – it is Florida law that nursing in public is absolutely legal. Feel free to nurse wherever and whenever you like. Many attractions offer dark, comfortable areas to feed babies, instead of hauling the family to a Baby Care Center from across the park.

Disney World Quick Tips – Baby Care Centers

January 14, 2012 by Chip 2 Comments

My wife and I love taking our girls to Disney World when they are young. I know many people want to wait till they get older but I have always lived by the Proverb “Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old, they will not depart from it.” So we have been taking our girls from 5 months on.

One of the lifesavers for us has been the Baby Care Centers. Baby Care Centers are in all 4 theme parks and each have their own theme inside.

Not only do they have changing tables, rocking chairs, nursing mom rooms, and restrooms they have a little mini drug store in there too. You never know when you might need some childrens Tylenol or Motrin.

Here are the locations:

Epcot
Epcot theme park features a Baby Care Center inside the Future World Odyssey Center. Basically in between Future World and the World Showcase on the Mexico side. Very quiet and peaceful here.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park features a Baby Care Center in the Guest Services Building inside the Main Entrance. This BCC is my least favorite. While its convenient being at Guest Services, the room is the size of a large broom closet. Don’t expect much personal space here. My suggestion would be to get in and get out.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park features a Baby Care Center located behind the Creature Comforts store in the Discovery Island area. From the Tree of life go left and keep going. It’s just before the bridge to Tusker House Area.

Please Note:

Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park does not have a dedicated Baby Care Center, but the restrooms do have baby changing stations. Same thing goes for Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park and The Downtown Disney Area.

So if your new or have a new bundle of joy don’t forget to stop by for a quick pit stop. A Happy Baby makes for an enjoyable vacation for everyone!

Disney World Quick Tips – Where to feed and change your baby?

August 21, 2010 by Chip 2 Comments

A lot of parents I have talked to say all the time they are going to wait till their children are older to take their children to Walt Disney World. Some say they want to wait till they are potty trained, others say they want them to remember it. Many say they don’t want to bring a baby to Disney World as it is to hard to change and feed them.

I think alot of people are unaware of the FREE Disney provided gem known as Baby Care Centers. These places are great for parents of small children. We have taken our little one since she was 10 months old, and still frequent these lifesaving stops as a toddler.

Baby Care Centers are in all 4 parks and each have their own theme inside. They are a perfect place to break away from the park to change and feed your little ones. Not only do they have changing tables, rocking chairs, and restrooms they have a little mini drug store in there too. You never know when you might need some childrens Tylenol or Motrin.

If you want to learn more check out this article from WDW Info.

I just wanted to let all those parents of younger children know that Disney is looking out for them by providing them with a free location to change, feed and take care of your little ones. So there is no excuse for not taking your little one to the parks early..Oh and did you know children under 3 get into Disney for Free!!!
