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.

Noise Levels

Disney on Ice can get quite loud, especially for little ears. Consider packing a pair of baby-friendly ear defenders to protect your baby’s hearing.

Navigating the Venue

Familiarize yourself with the venue’s layout beforehand. Identify the location of restrooms, baby changing facilities, and exits for a smoother experience.

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!

After the Disney on Ice Show

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.

A gentle bedtime path from Kacey Bailey

Your baby won’t sleep. Yet again.

You’re tired. You feel helpless—desperate to help your baby sleep. The SleepBaby Method gives you a gentle, science-informed approach you can follow without “cry it out.”

You know this moment

You just woke up. For the third time tonight.

You feel like a zombie—more dead than alive. And yet, you need to get up because it hurts your heart to hear your baby cry.

Hi, I’m Kacey.

I’m about to show you a scientific approach to help your baby fall asleep. The SleepBaby Method is designed for newborns through toddlers and does not involve the controversial “cry it out” method.

Most notably, I am a parent just like you. My baby, Benjamin, refused to fall asleep and stay asleep. I understand how it pulls on your heartstrings when your baby won’t sleep.

Kacey + BenjaminThe reason SleepBaby began

The story behind the method

My baby wouldn’t even nap anymore.

When Benjamin was born, my husband and I were elated. We thought he was the cutest baby on planet Earth—and we felt even more fortunate because he was an incredible sleeper.

Then, when Benjamin turned five months old, things changed seemingly overnight.

Benjamin started waking hourly—or every three hours if we were lucky. The sleepless nights began showing up in our work, our patience, and even our marriage.

I went online desperately searching for a solution. I bought the books, the tapes, and even hired a sleep consultant who simply told us to let our baby cry it out. I knew I needed another way.

01

An incredible sleeper

At first, bedtime came easily and we felt like the luckiest parents in the world.

02

Everything changed

At five months, Benjamin began waking again and again throughout the night.

A gentler answer

Kacey worked to create a practical method that did not rely on leaving a baby to cry alone.

3 gentle ideas when your baby won’t sleep

These are three of the safer sleep ideas Kacey shares before introducing the complete method.

Unleash the Giggle Monster

Stress can play a big part in why a baby won’t settle. A little laughter can help release built-up tension—and it gives you a warm moment of connection before sleep.

Adjust the Bedtime

A later bedtime does not always make sleep easier. When a child has been awake too long, an overtired “second wind” can make settling harder. A consistent, age-aware schedule can help.
