WDW Magazine April 2016 - Disney's Hollywood Studios | Page 51

We started doing our research—I mean a lot of research. There are tons of tips on how to tackle
Disney with an infant but not a lot of information on how to do so with twins. One thing that
came up was Disney's Baby Care Centers. A nice, cool place with nursing rooms, changing tables,
highchairs, sinks to clean bottles, and even have items to purchase in case of an emergency. And
all four of the parks have them!
Disney also offers Pack-N-Plays to their Resort hotel guests entirely free of charge. When making
your resort reservation, let them know your needs and Disney will have it all ready and waiting in
your room upon arrival.
I love to push the stroller. It doesn’t matter where we go—I push the stroller. Double strollers can
sometimes be a hassle when taking your kids into stores. Some store aisles aren't wide enough and you
can’t turn a corner without clipping some display, but for the most part, Disney stores and attractions
are set up so well that you don't even notice that you’re using a double stroller. In fact, most of the strollers we saw throughout our stay were the side-by-side double strollers.
Make sure to listen to Cast Members and park your stroller where they tell you. If you don't, you
may come out from your attraction and it won’t be anywhere in sight! A good tip to remember
when planning on using a stroller in the parks is to come up with something that’ll make your
stroller distinctive and easy to spot! I can’t tell you how many black double strollers we saw every
time we came off of an attraction.
A few things may arise throughout your trip while utilizing WDW’s complimentary transportation.
The Monorail allows you to leave your children in the stroller, which is great after a long park day!
When taking Disney buses back to your resort, all strollers must be collapsed and carried onto the
buses, which can pose a problem. Carrying two tired children, along with any purchases, diaper
bags, purses, and the stroller, while also getting any other kids you may have on the bus, can be
overwhelming—especially at the end of the night.
Well Disney is all about convenience and has some solutions to these problems, so take
advantage of their services! For example, when purchasing items in the park, send it back to your
resort gift shop! It’s a free service that they will gladly do for you when staying on site, and one
less problem when getting on the bus. Just don’t forget to pick it up the next day!
Disney knows that all ages of people come to their parks. Any rides with height restrictions offer
the Rider Switch pass so that anyone tall enough in your party has the opportunity to get on the
attraction. While it may be ok to bring your toddler on Peter Pan's Flight, bringing them on Space
Mountain causes a safety risk.
