The quest for the best trip to Disney World with a one year old EVER without pushing us more into debt!
This introduced a new blog tag into the McBaby chronicles: budget Disney.
I have exactly 6 months from tonight to make it all work, including air travel with a carseat and not over packing.
As a Disney World afficianado myself, I have some advantages:
- I know the parks like the back of my hand.
- I know transportation options.
- We're luck enough to be staying on the property so I know our accommodations.
- Baby will only be 13 months old which means minimal food intake in the park and the inability to beg for shiny things.
- I know there's more to the experience than the parks. The pool, the walking paths, riding on transportation, window shopping, and hotel hopping can be entertainment too.
- I have no clue where good diaper changing and nursing areas are in the parks.
- I don't remember parade watching strategies.
- I will have to accommodate nap times unless we want her crashed in the stroller in the park while we swap off on rides or hand off to Grandma.
- Food options will have to come from the grocery store then be prepared because I doubt there's much in the way of baby food in the parks. Immersion blender in the checked luggage? Over a week of cut up hotdogs?
- I have no experience with a baby at 13 months old- period. I'm relying on my mom friends and my own mom to provide solid fail-safe battle-tested advice that MIGHT work. Haha.
- I cannot merge the idea of having fun myself while making the experience fun for the baby yet. Is it possible?
- Everything I think about makes me feel like I'll need an itinerary. This must be quashed or at least dealt with.
Good night and Good morning.
