Don’t Make These Mistakes with Toddlers at Disney

Описание: We’ve seen whole families fight and argue with one another at Disney World, families exchanging incredibly harsh words, kids having meltdowns—parents having meltdowns at Disney World! Don’t let this happen to you!

Here are the biggest mistakes we see people make when taking toddlers to Disney World:

1) Trying to do too much!
There are so many things to do in Disney parks. Sometimes people have the idea that they need to do it all so that they “get their money’s worth.” It would be better to adjust the thinking that getting your money’s worth would be a quality experience rather than a quantity of experiences.

Disney can be overwhelming and exhausting to little ones, so you’ll have a better experience if you move at their pace.

Remember that a HURRIED child is a WORRIED child.

2) Not giving time for unstructured play.
Waiting in line is no fun for anyone! Children, especially, are not made to stand in line and “patiently” wait for ride after ride after ride. Children need time to run around and play and get out their energy.

Seek free-play spaces like playgrounds and other opportunities where children can run around, have fun, and use their imaginations.

Set a time limit for how long you’ll be there and let your children know in advance how long they have to run and play. Then, inform them as time is running out, and let them know what fun thing is coming up next.

3) Not keeping your regular schedule.
If your child usually eats at certain times or usually naps at certain times, that will not magically change just because you’re at Disney World, so plan your day around their scheduling needs first and then. Fit the activities in from there.

This will require that you factor in walking distances to restaurants and the length of time for ordering food before it is actually delivered to the table (or counter).

You may need to plan to exit the park during nap times, and remember that it can take up to an hour to get in and out of Magic Kingdom in particular!

If you keep these things in mind, then you are certain to have a magical, memorable experience with your family at Disney World!
