We're a group of WDW vets going with kids for the first time. DS will have turned 1 two weeks prior to our trip. I could use some suggestions for our park time with him:
- DS is at the stage where he can stand on his own, but still cruises - he hasn't taken steps unassisted yet. He is a very happy boy in his umbrella stroller, but he's also very very active. He'll need to burn off some energy. I know there are playground areas in all the parks (we'll be in MK, AK and Ep). But are there specific spots that might be safe and fun for a crawler/cruiser to play? We've seen him bowled over by bigger toddlers before and while that's unavoidable I want to give him the best experience we can. Oh, and he still puts everything in his mouth including playground sand/dirt.
- When you ride things like PPF or Dumbo do you just hold the baby in your lap? DS doesn't want to have anything to do with a lap these days, he hates being confined and is always trying to stand up. Should we just hold him down with full force? Will the lap bar be enough? Can we have him in a front facing bjorn while on the actual ride vehicles?
- We're trying to ween, but he'll probably still be taking some formula. How do you warm bottles in the parks if at a CS restaurant or someplace else that isn't the Baby Center?
thanks, parents
