135. 5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Taking My Kids to Disney World · Mom Street USA

0:05
Welcome everybody to another episode of Mom St.
0:07
USAI am your host Jackie, and on today's episode we are chatting
0:12
about 5 things that I wish I knew before my first Disney trip
0:17
with kids. There are so many things to
0:21
consider when visiting Walt Disney World.
0:24
There's resorts, there's tickets, there's dining, there's
0:27
attractions and rides and shows and all of that and more, right?
0:32
This episode is truly aimed at my top five things and tips that
0:39
I wish I knew before visiting with kids.
0:42
And I emphasize that with kids because for some context, I went
0:46
to the Disney parks a ton when I was in like my early 20s.
0:52
My best friend Stevie worked there.
0:54
I would fly down and stay with her.
0:55
We would go into the parks together for like long weekends
0:58
and things. So like I visited a ton and that
1:02
is truly when I fell in love with the parks was being able to
1:05
go as a young adult and go with my with my husband and my best
1:12
friend and other friends. But after having kids, those
1:17
trips totally changed. And I know the other parents
1:20
that have been there that are listening right now are like,
1:22
Yup, exactly. So we're going to talk about the
1:26
most important things to think about before your trip with your
1:31
kids for the first time. Because you may be in that same
1:33
boat, right? You may be somebody that knows
1:35
the Disney parks really well or has been several times or has
1:39
done all your research. But really traveling with kids
1:42
makes such a different experience for your Disney trip.
1:45
And I do say different. I don't say better or worse.
1:48
It's just different, right? You don't have as much
1:51
flexibility. You don't have as much freedom
1:53
to rope drop and stay out until midnight when the part, well,
1:57
when the parks used to stay open that late.
1:58
That's what I really miss right when I was visiting so much and
2:03
the parks would be open until like midnight or we get a
2:06
notification on my Disney Experience that they extended
2:09
the park hours by an hour because of capacity.
2:12
Those were the days. I miss that so much.
2:16
But that's the goal of today is to kind of point out some of
2:19
these differences that you may like have in the back of your
2:21
head, but might need like some confirmation about how they will
2:25
or will not change your trip when you're visiting with kids.
2:29
So before our first Disney trip with kids, I spent months
2:34
planning. That should surprise nobody
2:36
because I am such a huge planner, but I spent months
2:39
planning this first Disney trip that I was taking with my kiddo.
2:43
Not only was it because it was my oldest first trip, but also
2:48
because I was pregnant with my second when we were going on his
2:53
first trip. So while I knew the rides and
2:56
the restaurants and the park layouts, there were quite a few
3:01
things that completely caught me off guard.
3:03
So if you are taking kids to Disney for the first time, I
3:07
hope that these the advice that I give you today is going to
3:11
save you some time and some headache and some meltdowns,
3:15
whether from you or the kiddos, right?
3:18
So the first thing that I wish I knew before my first trip with
3:22
kids to Disney was your kids won't care about your perfect
3:27
plan. And we talked a little bit about
3:28
this just a few episodes ago, but your vacation will be so
3:34
much better if you just follow your kiddos joy rather than
3:40
forcing everybody to stick to a plan.
3:42
Your kid may become obsessed with the carousel like my
3:46
youngest did. Your kiddo may want to just go
3:50
swimming at the resort pool like my oldest does.
3:53
Almost every trip that we go he's constantly asking about
3:56
what day is our pool day. Your kiddos may find a splash
3:59
pad in the park that they want to stop and play in the journey.
4:02
Journey of Water area in Epcot, that's all Moana themed, may
4:06
take you an hour instead of 10 minutes to walk through.
4:11
Kids wanting to ride the same ride over and over again.
4:13
Caring more about ice cream than what's on your list.
4:17
That comes next, right? All of these things are
4:21
something that you have to consider when taking kids to the
4:24
parks. So that's why I put this as #1
4:28
on the list because I think it is so important that, yes, you
4:32
need to have a plan. And we talked about having a
4:35
plan, but you also have to have the most flexibility with that
4:40
plan when it comes for traveling with kids.
4:43
When it was just my husband and I and we had a plan, we just did
4:48
what the plan said, right? We just went through the rides
4:51
and we went one to the next to the next to the next.
4:53
We knew when we were going to stop for lunch.
4:55
We knew whether or not we needed to take a break.
4:57
Like it was just it was just so natural to follow that plan from
5:02
top to bottom with our kids. We cannot follow that plan.
5:06
It's just not feasible to be able to do everything exactly in
5:10
order how you plan it out. So like I said, we just did an
5:12
entire episode about the things that kids really care about at
5:16
Disney. So I encourage you to go and
5:18
listen to that because that episode is part of why this is
5:24
on my list for things that I wish I knew and things that I
5:28
wish I thought of before bringing my kids to Disney with
5:32
me. And yes, I love Sarah in our
5:34
live chat said her one niece just wanted to wait and meet all
5:37
of the characters. Her others didn't care and just
5:40
wanted to ride, ride. So you have to adjust.
5:42
That's 100% true, especially if you're visiting with more than
5:46
one kid, right? You're, you're going to, as much
5:50
as you want to try to stay together, you're going to end up
5:52
having to divide and conquer at least a little bit with that.
5:56
So again, your kids don't care about your perfect plan.
5:59
But that's also not to say that you shouldn't have some sort of
6:02
plan going into your vacation. You just have to have that
6:06
realistic expectation of the fact that they may or may not
6:10
care about the same things that you have planned.
6:14
The second thing that I wish I knew before taking my kids to
6:18
Disney is, and this one may sound a little obvious, but
6:25
Disney is way more walking than you expect.
6:30
And the reason I say it sounds obvious is I feel like this is
6:32
the first thing that people think about whenever they think
6:34
about going to any of the Disney parks or theme park, anywhere
6:39
that you may end up going. But Disney truly is so much more
6:42
walking than you anticipate. Because it's not only just
6:47
walking in the parks, it's walking from your room to
6:53
transportation right at your resort.
6:56
It's walking from wherever the buses drop you off to get to the
7:01
main front gate. It's walking because your food
7:05
that you want is 3/4 of the way around World Showcase and so you
7:09
end up having to walk 3/4 of a mile to get there, right?
7:12
You hear that everybody talk about how much walking it is and
7:15
it is so true and it's so much more than you expect.
7:19
Like 10,000 steps is minimum on a true Disney day.
7:25
Typically 8 to 12 miles every day is the like average norm for
7:31
Disney trips. And your kids are going to tire
7:37
much more quickly than you may anticipate.
7:41
You may say, oh, yeah, we are going to practice The Walking.
7:46
We're going to go to the zoo or we're going to go to our local
7:49
fair or amusement park. And they may be fine there.
7:53
Disney is so much more walking than that.
7:56
And not only that, but it's also coupled with the fact that you
8:00
are still on your feet even if you're not walking, but you're
8:03
waiting, standing and waiting for the parade, standing and
8:07
waiting in a 20 minute line while the lines not very long.
8:11
You're still standing and you're still on your feet, standing and
8:14
waiting for HEA, the fireworks show at the end of night at
8:18
Magic Kingdom, or standing and waiting for Luminous over at
8:23
Epcot, right? There is so much more time spent
8:26
on your feet than you really, truly think about.
8:29
So you really have to think about your stroller situation.
8:34
If you are at all questioning your kiddos ability to walk the
8:40
entire day, you need to have a stroller.
8:42
So there's absolutely nothing wrong with having a stroller for
8:47
your 789 year old kiddo. You know what they're capable
8:50
of. You know whether or not they're
8:52
going to be able to last the day.
8:54
But also you have to remember that this day at Disney is
8:58
potentially way longer than any other day you're going to spend
9:02
at the zoo or the fair or your local amusement park, right?
9:06
It's especially if you're somebody that's trying to rope
9:08
drop and you're trying to do fireworks.
9:10
Even with a break in the middle of the day for your kiddo,
9:13
that's still a really long day, which means much more steps,
9:17
much more being on your feet. The other thing to consider with
9:21
this is even if they are stroller age, the chances are
9:28
good that they will still end up walking some during your day.
9:33
So you have to make sure you're thinking about what shoes they
9:37
have even if you anticipate them being in the stroller for most
9:41
of the time. This is one thing that I didn't
9:43
think about when it came to walking and being on your feet.
9:47
For my oldest first trip, he was just under 2 when we went and I
9:54
just packed his normal shoes that we always had him wear, you
9:59
know, just around. And I didn't really think about
10:04
the fact that he wanted to walk a ton in the parks.
10:08
He didn't want to be in the stroller.
10:09
He wanted to be on Main Street walking down the road like he
10:14
wanted to be out of the stroller.
10:17
So I didn't think about the fact that I needed to have him follow
10:22
the same kind of shoe packing that I have my husband and I
10:26
follow in that he needed two pairs of really good sneakers
10:30
that he was going to be able to wear.
10:32
He needed a pair of flip flops. He needed sandals, you know,
10:35
like the things that you think about for yourself, I didn't
10:38
think about for him. And so that became, it wasn't a
10:43
huge problem, but I could have planned better for that.
10:49
Also, you've got to think about sacrificing fashion for comfort,
10:54
even for your kiddos. Princess dresses go great with
10:59
with a pair of tennis shoes, right?
11:01
So you have to think about those things because you don't want to
11:04
end up with your kiddos feet hurting because they're going to
11:07
be not maybe as equipped to handle it or as equipped to
11:13
express what it is that hurts and how it hurts and where it
11:17
hurts on their feet. Because it may be a completely
11:20
new sensation to them, especially if they are typically
11:23
a kiddo that's in the stroller when you go places that's going
11:27
to be brand new to them. So you really need to think
11:30
about that when it comes to The Walking, the standing, the being
11:33
on your feet. The other thing that I will kind
11:35
of pair into this second thing that we're we're talking about
11:39
now on this list of 5 is along with The Walking, you also have
11:44
to remember that your kiddos will often need more fuel than
11:48
normal to keep going because of The Walking.
11:51
So you want to think about smaller, more frequent meals
11:57
rather than your standard meal times that you normally eat.
12:01
So grabbing a quick breakfast at the room, but then stopping for
12:05
a mid morning snack and then doing some lunch and then an
12:09
afternoon snack and then dinner and then another snack at the
12:12
end of the day. You've just really got to think
12:14
about fueling their little bodies, even up through
12:17
elementary into their teen years too, right?
12:20
You have to think about them being able to fuel their bodies.
12:23
And especially if you're going during the summer, smaller, more
12:26
frequent meals are going to be much more helpful for them
12:30
because their body is going to be sweating and using exerting
12:33
that energy all day. But their bellies are not going
12:36
to be used to the heat necessarily unless you're
12:39
somewhere that has a similar climate to Florida.
12:41
But generally speaking, their bellies are not going to be used
12:44
to that heat. So you need to do smaller meals.
12:47
You need to, even though maybe a kids meal doesn't look like
12:51
it'll be enough for your kiddo. Will it be enough until you're
12:54
next scheduled somewhat quote UN quote scheduled snack break,
12:58
right? So those are things to consider
13:00
along with The Walking is just being able to take care of your
13:05
body, take care of your feet, but also take care of fueling
13:08
your body with the right amount of food at the right times, plus
13:13
water and electrolytes at the same time, right?
13:15
So considering that for your kiddos as well As for yourself.
13:20
So the third thing that I wish I had known before taking my
13:24
kiddos to Disney for the first time is that everything, and I
13:30
say everything very broadly, but it'll make sense in a moment.
13:34
Everything takes longer than you think at Disney World, whether
13:39
that's Transportation, Security, bathroom breaks, meals and
13:43
snacks, waiting in lines, parking the stroller, doing
13:46
character interactions. You spend way more time stopped
13:52
than you do moving in the parks. You know, transportation,
13:57
stopping and having to wait for the bus, for the monorails, for
14:00
the skyline or whatever transportation you're waiting
14:03
on. That takes a lot longer than you
14:05
think, especially when you're trying to get back to the room
14:07
for like a break or a nap. You got to leave way more time
14:12
than you think to be able to get back.
14:13
If you're on a certain if you're on a specific time crunch for
14:18
like nap time for your kiddo going through security.
14:23
People often think, oh, if I, you know, if I leave my resort
14:26
30 minutes before early park entry, I'll, I'll be fine.
14:31
It won't be a big deal. They don't think about the
14:34
security line. Security takes, especially in
14:36
the mornings at rope drop. It takes a solid half hour
14:40
minimum I would say unless you get really lucky, but security
14:44
takes a long time to get through bathroom breaks, especially if
14:48
you've got a bunch of little kiddos that you're traveling
14:50
with, you're doing more frequent bathroom breaks.
14:53
They take a little bit longer just because kiddos tend to take
14:56
longer than adults do. Whenever it's, it's that time
15:00
meals and snacks again, especially if you have a turtle
15:03
eater, which is what I lovingly refer to my youngest as because
15:07
she takes so long to eat her meals that she's my turtle.
15:12
But those just take longer than if you're travelling with just
15:16
adults. Although I eat slow too, so I
15:18
don't have much room to talk. But waiting in lines, right?
15:22
You, you hope you don't have to wait very long in lines, but
15:25
sometimes that happens. And sometimes even if you're
15:28
using lightning lanes, the wait is still a full 15 or 20 minutes
15:32
instead of a walk on, so that takes longer.
15:36
Finding the right place to park your stroller for the first time
15:39
can be super stressful. And it can be tricky because not
15:45
every ride has stroller parking immediately out front of the
15:49
building, right or out front of the queue, depending on where
15:52
you are. So finding the right place to
15:55
park your stroller, parking the stroller, getting the kids out,
15:57
making sure you have everything you want to take with you so
16:00
you're not leaving valuables in your stroller and you have
16:02
everything you need. You know, the process just takes
16:05
a while until you get into a, a good routine of how all of these
16:10
little small logistical things are going to work.
16:14
Character interactions are a big one too.
16:16
They it can be really hard, especially when you get towards
16:19
the end of that line. If you can peek around the
16:21
corner and see the characters, it can be really hard to wait
16:24
and it just feels like it takes longer than you anticipate,
16:27
right? Again, you spend way more time
16:29
stopped than moving. This doesn't even count.
16:31
Things like sunscreen, stroller adjustments, outfit changes,
16:35
water refills, it all just adds up and it's all part of the day.
16:40
But it's just something to consider whenever you are
16:43
thinking about your route and thinking about what rides you're
16:47
doing, when and where you're going to end up when you think
16:50
you're going to need a bathroom break.
16:51
And you know, we, we got in the habit of pretty much any time we
16:55
got in a line that was longer than 15 minutes, we went into
16:58
the bathroom. You know, so just the logistical
17:00
things with with having to wait for things that can take a lot
17:05
longer than you maybe think that they're going to.
17:08
So I encourage you to practice your patience and to again,
17:14
remember that your perfect plan is still perfect, even if it
17:20
doesn't get executed 100% all the way through, right.
17:25
The fourth thing that I wish I knew before visiting Walt Disney
17:29
World with my kiddos for the first time was considering the
17:36
mindset of breaks are part of your vacation, so sleeping in at
17:44
Disney sounds completely counterproductive.
17:48
But resort days are so important to be able to regenerate,
17:54
recover, recoup a little bit. So that way you can finish out
17:58
your vacation and still have a good time in the parks that are
18:01
leftover on your list, right? So making sure that you allow
18:07
for those breaks and you schedule in that time.
18:10
You may be right in the middle of your morning rope drop plan
18:15
and maybe you've gone on three rides and you've got two more.
18:19
You want to try to get done before the lines get super busy
18:23
and your kiddo may decide that they need to take a break,
18:26
especially if you're not doing a stroller because you think
18:28
they're going to be fine. You're going to have to plan in
18:31
more breaks for those like late elementary, middle school age
18:37
group because they are not going to have the leg stamina that the
18:44
older teens and adults maybe in your group have.
18:48
So just realizing and being in tune with what your kiddos need
18:53
when it comes to being in the parks and taking breaks, but
18:56
also considering break days too. Pool days, like I mentioned
18:59
earlier, are often some of my kiddos favorite days.
19:04
My kids still talk about. Gosh, four or five trips ago we
19:09
stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter and they still talk
19:15
about that pool and they still talk about the day that we spent
19:19
swimming and how we gave them an extra day to swim because they
19:24
loved the water slide there so much and it was so much fun.
19:28
They still talk about that. So sometimes those pool days can
19:32
be the favorite days of your kiddos.
19:35
My kids also talk about we had a day that we did a resort day
19:39
where we just like did the activities that they had planned
19:42
and we checked out the arcade and we played at the playground
19:46
that they had at our resort. And, you know, there are things
19:50
like that that again, the kiddos want to find the magic for
19:56
themselves a little bit, right? There's a, there's a lot of
19:59
magic that we as parents can create for our kids on Disney
20:02
trips. We can create, you know, going
20:05
on a ton of rides using lightning lanes.
20:07
We can create getting to wait in line for their favorite
20:10
character or watching a parade or things like that.
20:15
But I think like intrinsically, your kids also want to find some
20:18
of that magic for themselves. And that's where I think
20:22
following their joy is so important.
20:25
So if they're having a ton of fun just playing, I mentioned
20:30
the Moana area earlier in this episode, But if they're if they
20:33
just want to play in the Moana area, just let them do it right?
20:38
There's no sense in rushing around and, you know, having to
20:42
get to the next thing when they are having so much fun where you
20:46
are now. Just let yourself breathe and
20:49
live in the moment and take a mental break maybe for a few
20:54
minutes as you are enjoying watching them enjoy themselves
21:00
doing whatever it is that you may be doing.
21:03
And I do think if you've got, you know, four or five park
21:07
days, you've got to plan a resort day in the middle there
21:09
because it just gets to be too much.
21:13
It just gets to be too much. So you've got to remember,
21:15
breaks are part of the vacation pool days, doing mini golf,
21:20
doing any of the resort activities we just talked about
21:23
a few episodes ago, different things that you can do without a
21:26
park ticket when you go to Disney, picking a day and
21:29
picking one or two of those to go explore can be so much fun.
21:35
And it doesn't even have to involve your perfect park
21:37
itinerary for the day. So remembering that breaks are
21:41
part of your vacation can really help you have just a more
21:46
enjoyable trip. And my last thing #5 that I wish
21:54
I knew before taking kids to Disney World is you won't do
22:01
everything right. You can plan and you can hope
22:06
and you can think that it's all going to work out, but you're
22:11
just not going to end up doing everything.
22:13
And that's OK. Again, you have to follow what
22:17
your kids do and then focus on the favorites, right?
22:20
So if this is your first trip or your second trip, you can
22:25
probably anticipate fairly well what it is that your kids are
22:28
going to want to do on any of your park days, right?
22:32
You can look at those rides and you can go, Yep, that's exactly
22:36
what they're going to want to do.
22:38
I know that this is like the top of their priority list.
22:41
Or maybe you pulled up some YouTube point of view videos
22:44
that you watched with them to help them decide what it is that
22:49
they want to do on your trip, right?
22:52
So focus on those favorites, focus on your top picks.
22:55
And then after that, just kind of see where the day takes you.
23:00
And again, with the understanding that you're not
23:04
going to be able to do everything, one of the most
23:08
enjoyable days or even moments of your day can be when you let
23:14
your kids just lead the way. Now, this is more for kiddos
23:18
that are a little bit older, right?
23:20
Maybe not so much toddlers, but you could even do it to an
23:23
extent, giving your toddler a choice of what character they
23:28
want to go see, or giving your toddler a choice of different
23:33
areas that you can go to next door.
23:35
If you're standing in Storybook Circus, do they want to ride
23:38
Barnstormer? Do they want to ride Dumbo?
23:40
Right. If you're standing in
23:42
Fantasyland, do they want to go, you know, make it something
23:44
visible? Do they want to go to the
23:46
carousel? Do they want to go somewhere
23:48
else? You know, there are still ways
23:50
in which you can help them lead the way.
23:53
So you can do this purposefully or you can just follow their
23:56
cues. You can let them kind of lead
23:59
you to whatever looks interesting to them, depending
24:02
on where you are and how busy it is.
24:04
And you know those those different situational factors,
24:09
but letting them lead the way. And I've talked about before on
24:13
my last big family trip that I did with my, my parents and my
24:17
sister and her girls and, and my kids, we, we scheduled in some
24:24
kind of free time and we tried to anticipate.
24:28
I mean, I knew more like what my kids were going to want to do
24:31
and redo and re ride. But we, we tried to anticipate
24:35
what we thought my niece, my oldest niece was, was going to
24:38
want to do. And but she shocked us all in
24:42
the fact that she loved the roller coasters we took her on.
24:48
She loved Barnstormer, she loved 7 dwarfs, she loved Slinky Dog.
24:54
So like we weren't anticipating that at all.
24:58
So on the days we went back to those parks, because we were
25:00
very lucky, we had park hoppers and we kind of were all over the
25:03
place and had several days in the parks.
25:05
And so we, you know, when we went back to those parks, those
25:08
became our priority because that's what those were things
25:11
that she wanted to do and things that she loved.
25:13
And so we got to ride Barnstormer like four or five
25:16
times on that trip because she just loved it so much.
25:20
So things like that where you just, you let them have the time
25:24
and you say, what do you want to do?
25:27
Right. Our last day of that trip was
25:30
just my kids, my and, and, and us, my other family had had left
25:37
and headed back home and we had one extra day and we told the
25:42
kids, Hey, you, you guys get to pick you guys get to pick what
25:46
we do today. And we've been kind of like,
25:49
we're like reminding them as we went through the week, like, oh,
25:53
hey, this would be a really good thing to do on our last day when
25:56
you get to pick what we're doing or oh, hey, think about this
25:59
when it comes to the last day. So we kind of were prepping them
26:02
all along as we went through our trip.
26:05
And the, the night, the, the dinner, the night before that
26:10
day, we were like, OK, where do you want to start?
26:13
And you know, we, we kind of helped a guy to them and you
26:16
know, my, my son really wanted to ride Dinosaur again for the
26:22
last time because it was getting ready to close.
26:25
And so we ended up rope dropping Animal Kingdom, which I did not
26:29
anticipate. I did not think that would be
26:31
where we would end up. But we did all four parks that
26:34
day because they just wanted to hop around and do their favorite
26:38
things. And now my older 1 is more
26:41
opinionated on things like that because he just he has specific
26:45
rides that are like his jam and his favorites.
26:49
My younger she's a little bit more go with the flow and but
26:54
she still had things that she wanted to do and there were
26:56
things for her because I knew that she would have a hard time.
26:58
Like remembering my older one knows what rides are at what
27:03
park and how to get there. He's like a walking map already
27:06
at, you know, just under 10 years old.
27:09
My youngest is not quite that way.
27:11
I knew she was going to have a hard time remembering what was
27:14
at what park and what rides were even where.
27:16
So I was making like a mentalist as we went through the week to
27:19
help her out. But we, we had so much fun.
27:23
And it was just like, we went to each park, We hit a few little
27:26
things there and then we, we kept on moving.
27:30
And so it was, it was so much fun to see what they chose and
27:34
so much fun to just like let them have the ownership of that.
27:39
And it was just, it was a blast, right?
27:42
And that's the thing about this again, you won't do everything
27:45
and every trip is going to be so different.
27:47
You may want to focus on re rides or you may want to focus
27:50
on new rides. You may want to focus on
27:53
characters or shows or something totally new that you guys have
27:56
never done before, right? There are so many different ways
27:59
that you can kind of plan to have a unique experience.
28:03
And every trip to Disney is going to be a unique experience
28:06
no matter what. So, and if you don't get through
28:08
everything, your kids are still going to have amazing memories
28:12
and it's going to leave you something for your next trip,
28:15
right? Because it is impossible to do
28:18
everything on a Disney trip. Even if you're there for two
28:21
weeks, it's you're still not going to get to every single
28:25
thing that you want to do. It's just not possible, right?
28:29
There's so many different activities and resorts to see
28:33
and it's just too much, right? So even though you don't get
28:38
through everything, it leaves something for your next trip.
28:41
So it leaves you the, the comfort of knowing like, Yep, we
28:45
know we're going to be back in a year or two.
28:48
We're going to put these, you know, 3 or 4 things that we
28:51
really wish we could have done but didn't get to.
28:53
They're going to move to the top of our list for consideration on
28:56
our next trip. And that gives you something fun
28:59
to to plan for on your second trip with your kids as a family.
29:05
So again, you're not going to be able to do everything, but
29:09
that's OK. Well, I know it was kind of
29:12
short and sweet, but those are the five things that I wish I
29:15
knew before I visited the Disney parks with my kids.
29:19
Hopefully this list is helpful in giving you something to
29:21
consider before you go with kids.
