Real Parents’ Experiences at Disneyland with a Baby
“We visited Disneyland with our 6-month-old last summer. It was a delight to see her giggle and clap on the ‘It’s a Small World’ ride in Fantasyland. Also, the Baby Care Center at the end of Main Street, U.S.A was a lifesaver. It was a quiet place to nurse and change her diaper. Highly recommended for anyone visiting with a baby!” – Emily, San Francisco

The Cast Members were very helpful, and we loved the calm, air-conditioned reprieve of the Animation Academy in Disney California Adventure Park. Our son was mesmerized by the floating images of Disney characters.” – David, Los Angeles
“Mickey’s Toontown was a hit with our toddler. She loved the colorful, interactive play areas, and it was less crowded than other parts of the park. Don’t forget to take a picture with Mickey!” – Laura, San Diego
