Is Disney World a good trip for toddlers?
Yes, with a slower pace. Plan for naps and breaks, pick shorter days, and choose attractions young children can ride, since many have height requirements.
Set the pace
Toddlers do best with a short park day, a midday break and an early bedtime. Plan one park per day and keep the afternoon free.
Staying close
A resort close to the parks, or with an easy route back, makes a midday nap simpler. See the resort guide.
Rides and height requirements
Many rides have minimum heights. Check the height on each attraction page and measure your child before you go. Plan around what they can ride, not what they cannot.
What to bring
- Stroller or carrier
- Snacks, a change of clothes and a comfort item
- Sun protection and a small fan in summer
Skip the pressure
You do not have to do everything. A few favorite characters, a ride or two and a pool afternoon can be a great day.
