Because kids can't have coffee they need breaks sometimes, but when you are at Disneyworld you might not always want to go back to your hotel, so where do you go? Here are a few of our favorite spots:
First every park has a baby care center with chairs, small toilets, changing tables, microwaves and highchairs. It was my favorite spot to go when i was breastfeeding because it was air conditioned and had a good place to change diapers, but also when you have a toddler i love the tiny toilets that are just their size. It's also a lot quieter if you are trying to get your baby to sleep.
Another thing i like to do is make lunch reservations instead of Dinner reservations. It is the hottest time of the day and the middle of the day and my kids often want to sit and chill, so having a sit down lunch feeds them but also gives them an air conditioned place to sit and color and sometimes lay down.
In Magic Kingdom the train and people mover are great opportunities to sit down, as is the line for Dumbo. The line for Dumbo goes inside a tent that is set up as a play area. They give you a pager that will buzz when it is your turn to get in line to ride, but my kids absolutely loved the play area better than the ride itself and got mad when we had to leave. They even have a baby/toddler area. There is also the playarea at the exit of splash mountain, but im not sure if it will be open when they close the ride.
Also at the end of Mission Space and Spaceship Earth there are games to play and a play area in Mission Space. You don't have to ride the ride to go in there, just go in through the stores that are connected to the exits.
Did you know Epcot has a playground?! It was perfect for when we were waiting for a fastpass for Guardians of the Galaxy as it is right over there by mission space and fast track. Also at Epcot the kidcot scavenger hunt has tables where you can sit and color your postcards. Living with the Land ride is also a good one for a break since its indoors and rarely has a long line, plus you learn a lot! Also if you go to the exit of the Figment ride you will find the imagination center that has a lot of fun things to do, and the aquarium is always fun, with a small play area. Also the Turtle talk with crush is really fun for the littles and a great time for parents to sit.
Hollywood studios doesn't have any specific play areas, but there are a lot of shows and the Mickey movie which has a fun photo shoot area, especially if your kids have seen the new Mickey shorts. There is also one mans dream which lets you see Walt Disneys life and memorabilia.
Animal Kingdom is huge and you will do a lot of walking, But it also has a lot of shaded areas and trails to take to see animals. My kids love earning wilderness explorer badges, it kind of distracts them from how tired they are. The train to Rafikis Planet Watch is a nice ride, you dont have to get off at Rafikis planet, you can just stay on and go around, but there are more animals to see and a petting zoo.
There are so many great places to go with kids to keep them entertained, and if all else fails just put them in the stroller and hope they fall asleep.
Have you found fun places to take your kids?
