Podcasts about baby care centers

In this podcast episode, I talked about having mixed-age children and how to manage that at the parks. We will be potty training our youngest child while our oldest child will want to ride roller coasters. So there's a delicate balance and ensuring everyone has a great time while on vacation.1. We'll talk about needing to know what resources are at your disposal in the parks. Especially for infants and toddlers, if you're breastfeeding, or if you're potty training. Knowing where your Baby Care Centers are located, the layout of the parks, and where restrooms are located if you plan to be in a specific area for a long time.2. Managing tantrums as a parent at Walt Disney World, my joke is everyone becomes a gentle parent at Walt Disney World if they want to ensure peace on their vacation. I also explain the true definition of gentle parenting. There's a BIG misconception that peaceful parenting equals soft.3. Setting expectations of older kids and how to make them feel like they have some control over their Walt Disney World vacation and the balance between having children of all different ages.Then we review all the tools that you got from this podcast, and hopefully this will not only help you at the Disney parks, but also help you when managing expectations at home.Blog Instagram YouTube Pinterest Amazon Shop LTK Shop

In this episode, we'll discuss all the helpful items we pack when traveling to Walt Disney World by car or plane. We also give tips for packing your bag to carry into the parks for the day. We touch on Baby Care Centers as well as hear a little more about some of Hudson's helpful hints.

This is for you if you are a parent of infants or toddlers or a soon-to-be-parent and you’re planning a Disney vacation. We actually talk about Walt Disney World, but these tips are definitely agnostic of Disney World, Disneyland, or even Disney Cruise Line. This is advice that will help any Disney vacation, or if you’re asking yourself that question, “Should I bring my infant or toddler on a Disney vacation?” Because I know you are. I know you’re asking yourself that question and you’re stuck. This is also for you if you are a Grandparent going on a multi-generational trip with your grandchildren. I had the absolute honor of interviewing Krista Weldon of Mindful Molding, a parenting coach for infants and toddlers. Not only that, but Krista is a massive Disney fan and as an Annual Passholder, she knows the parks really well. Krista brings game changing tips for planning a Disney trip with infants or toddlers and it is going to make such a difference in your vacation. If you are going to Disney World with infants or toddlers, how can you avoid meltdowns and be better prepared? Preparation is everything, according to Krista. When planning a fun vacation like Disney World, parents expect their kids to just be super happy and super excited the entire time they’re there because you’re in the “happiest place on earth”. Everywhere you turn it’s something fun and exciting to do. But we have to keep in mind that our children really, really thrive on structure and routine. So even though this is a really fun vacation and outing that we’re doing, it’s still a very different environment for them. So there are a few things to keep in mind when you’re preparing to go for a trip. The goal is of course to avoid any kind of tantrum or meltdown, if at all possible. Tip #1: Our children thrive on routines Tip #2: Your child is in a sensory overload from the second they walk in a Disney theme park Baby Care Centers – find them on the park map when you start your day! Tip #3: Let your kids get out of their stroller and run around Tip #4: Research ride height requirements before your vacation Tip #5: How to prepare for the Florida heat           Pro Tip: Bring your kids’ sippy cup! When we are talking about those infants and toddlers, not all toddlers are accustomed to drinking out of straws, and ice is a SERIOUS choking hazard. So bring whichever sippy cup that they’re comfortable with to keep them hydrated. Krista’s favorite counter service and table service restaurants Pro Tip: Krista and her family actually packs their lunches and snacks on park days. You’re allowed to take coolers and even full picnic baskets really, into the parks. Counter Service: Turkey Legs (You can find these in several locations such as Frontierland in the Magic Kingdom) I don’t know if it’s half nostalgia. I’ve always loved them since I was a kid or half because they’re delicious. Table Service: Rainforest Cafe  I love everything about it. The whole inside is so interesting and fun. My kids love it and the food is also delicious. Krista’s Favorite Disney Memory Her favorite Disney memory is the first time they brought their daughter when she was 13 months old. Obviously she loves going back with both of her kids now, but it’s that first experience… It’s one thing to be a kid and go to Disney, but it’s another thing to have a kid and go to Disney.

In this episode, Megan & Kris give Five helpful tips for families visiting Disneyland.   Five Family Disneyland Tips Tag your stroller for easy ID at a distance. There're a couple ways we do this. Our favorite way to do this is to drape a blanket over the top and the stroller handle. This does two things: it makes our stroller stand out visually from the others and it also covers up what we may have in the stroller. We never keep any valuables in it, but why provide temptation to anyone to go snooping, right?   Save on souvenirs by purchasing them before your visit. This is a great way to save money at the parks. Instead of buying souvenirs there, buy them before you go, at places like Target, the Disney Store (clearance), or anywhere else, locally, that might have Disney merchandise. Then, bring them into the park with you and give them out while you're there! Your kids don't need to know that you didn't purchase them on Disney property. Here's the magical phrase: "Hey, look what I got you!"   Write your phone number on your children. The bottom line here is to make sure you can be contacted if your kids get lost. This can be done in many ways. You can buy bracelets that you can write contact and identifying information, use a sharpie to write your number on the hem of their shirt, or a pen to write on their arm.   Free Samples! Both Ghirardelli and the Boudin Bakery give free samples when you walk in. Feel free to visit the bakery, grab a sample of freshly baked sourdough bread, and learn how it's made by watching the instructional video and observing the cast members work. Then, walk across the way into the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate shop where you'll receive a free chocolate square for dessert! (Also feel free to buy one of their delicious creations!)   Free Ice Water! Free ice water can be found in the Disney parks from restaurants that offer fountain drinks. Just go in and ask! Filtered water spigots are available in the Baby Care Centers at both parks as well as at Rancho del Zocalo, the French Market, and Tomorrowland Terrace restaurants. Still tasted gross, so bring water flavoring.

One of the very first things we hear when we talk to other people about visiting Disneyland is, “That sounds like so much fun, I wish we could go! It’s just so expensive.” After hearing this so many times, we started to look for ways that families could save on a Disneyland trip. We found that while a Disneyland trip will be expensive (but totally worth it), you might be surprised to find that with a little forethought and planning, it can be within your reach! In this short ebook, we’ve grouped our tips into three main categories: tips on saving and collecting extra money for your trip, saving on the trip itself, and ways to save at the parks on food and souvenirs. We even added five bonus tips on some free and inexpensive things you can do at Disneyland! Sign up for our email list (below) and we'll email it right out to you!
