Looking to take your baby to Disney On Ice but have a lot of questions? This post aims to provide clear, concise answers to all your Disney On Ice-related queries.
Preparing Your Baby for Disney on Ice
Picking the Right Show
Disney on Ice offers a variety of shows suitable for different age groups. Before booking your tickets, take the time to research which performance will most engage your little one. From “Frozen” to “Toy Story,” each show provides its unique charm and age-appropriate excitement.
Scheduling Considerations
Try to choose a showtime that aligns with your baby’s regular schedule. Over-tired or hungry babies might find it harder to enjoy the spectacle. If the show clashes with nap time or feeding, try to adjust your baby’s schedule slightly in the days leading up to the event.
What to Pack
Remember to bring all the baby essentials—diapers, wipes, a change of clothes, snacks, and a sippy cup or bottle. It’s also worth packing a blanket in case the venue is cold. Don’t forget your baby’s favorite comfort item, be it a pacifier or a beloved plush toy, to help soothe them if needed.

Enjoying the Show
Even if your baby is too young to follow the storyline, the music, lights, and colorful costumes are bound to captivate them. Relax and enjoy the magic through their eyes!

Remember that your baby might be overstimulated after the show. Follow your regular calming bedtime routine to help them unwind and get ready for sleep.

Thank you so much for this video! I had no idea about the dangers of baby swings :O
Hi Mary-Ann. I have a question: Is method in any way similar to the ones recommended by Dr Bucknam, Dr. Weissbluth or Dr. Karp? We tried those but none of them help.
Hi Regina, thank you for your question. The short answer is no. The techniques I share in my guide are based on newest scientific research and this is why I have never seen any approach similar to the one I recommend.
This method really works! I tried it on my son Jesus and after just one week he went from waking up more than 5 times a night to waking up just once or twice. You are a lifesaver, Mary-Ann!
I'm truly impressed with how much information you share in your video. And all for free! I can feel that you truly care about mothers like myself, and that's hard to find these days. I have recommended your site to several of my friends already.
Mary-Ann, our child suffers from autism. Is your approach still suited?
Chloe, I made sure my method can be used with any child, even babies who are special like yours. Please note that I'm not a doctor and that I always advice to consult with your physician because nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of your love.
Hallo Mary-Ann, I'm from Germany. Do you have your guide in German?
Hello Heide, we do! Normally you should already see our video in German. If not, please contact our support so they can guide you
Thenk you for your answer, Mary-Ann!
I just completed your approach and I have to say, it worked almost too well. Yes, it took a bit of getting used to with your bedtime routine but the difference is huge. My son George used to take 1 hours to go down and now he's firmly asleep in no more than 10 minutes! You're the best!
It seems I'm the only man watching this video, lol! What you shared about the 'emotional backpack' made immediate sense to me and I can't wait to help my little girl Mila to unpack it!
Hey there, just discovered your site and this really sounds different. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing :)
For everyone who's still thinking about getting Mary-Ann's guide I want to advise you to go ahead. I wasn't sure myself but now I'm so thankful I invested in this program. It made a huge difference in our life as a family and yes, my baby girl does sleep through the night now.
