The Best Products for Disney Trip with Baby
As a mother with a 5-month-old baby, I wanted to go to Disney but wasn’t too sure if the trip would still be enjoyable for all of us. I was thinking that I was crazy for wanting to go to Disney with my 5-month-old baby! I was wondering, what possibly can I do other than take pictures with the Disney character and eat! So, I started researching because if you know anything about me, I love theme parks, and I love to ride! So, I didn’t want to be that mom who is just presently holding bags and taking pictures of everyone. How could traveling with a baby to Disney be possible?
To my surprise, a trip to Disney wasn’t as bad as I thought! On December 21, 2019, My husband, me, and our 5-month old daughter not only went to one Disney park but TWO! We started our Disney Journey at the Magic Kingdom and went to the Animal Kingdom afterward! And, I’m sure glad that I plan accordingly and use these fantastic products (listed below) to aid in a successful trip to Disney!
What is Disney World?
If you are not familiar with Disney World, maybe hear the name before but haven’t experienced Disney, Disney World is a magical place, amusement parks, made for families located in Orlando, Florida! Don’t take my statement “made for families” lightly! Disney is an incredible place to go with your family and experience one or all of their parks! They have four amusement parks (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios) and two water parks (Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park).

Best Products to Overcome a Disney Trip with Baby
Below you will find some products I used or recommend when taking a trip to Disney World with a baby:
- If you are planning on taking your baby on rides with you, I suggest you buy this fantastic baby carrier to help carry your baby on a ride at Disney! And yes, you can actually take your baby on rides! A good rule of thumb is to pick rides that are a label for “ALL AGES.”
- Not only should you have a good baby carrier but also an awesome baby stroller (preferable a jogger). Have a baby stroller was awesome when my back started to get weak on me from standing for long periods. I would alternate from baby carrier to baby stroller. Plus, the stroller became excellent storage for our coolers we brought filled with food and drinks.
- Frugal Mommy Tip ALERT! Ensure you bring an insulated cooler bag to store snacks and drinks in so you can save a ton of money! Most moms don’t know, but you are allowed to bring outside food and beverages but ensure they are in plastic Tupperware or non-glass containers.
- To add on to the last point, bring your own food and drinks! Some of the foods and drinks I brought for our trip to accommodate my husband, our baby girl, and I was: Chips, Juice Boxes, Mini Welch Juice Bottles, Sandwiches, Cookies, Popcorn, Puree Baby Food. We saved so much money on food because we literally didn’t spend not one penny in the park on food due to us bring our food. I used storage bags to also section the food out for individual servings.
- Bring a good Diaper Bag. My husband, I both have our diaper bag for our little girl. For this trip, we used his cool daddy diaper bag! Of course, we stuff the bag with baby bottles, diapers, baby food, formula, baby medicine, Receiving blankets, bibs, extra clothes, pacifiers, baby wipes, and more!
- If you’re breastfeeding, don’t forget to bring yourself a bra that can be quickly unstrapped in the front for easy boob access, breastfeeding food, manual breast pump, receiving blanket, etc. There are locations for mothers to breastfeed at the park.

I can’t fathom taking a baby to Disney. It’s seemed impossible to me because we took my 5 and 2 year old a couple of years ago and that was hard. Your tips are great though and I’ll keep that in mind as I’m having a baby next year and we may take a trip to Disney again.
