➙➙ Some of my footage was lost, so here are a few things that weren't shown/mentioned in the video:
1. The Magical Express is the free bus that will transport you from the Orlando International Airport to your Disney Resort - they play cartoons/videos along the way to entertain you & your family. It’s only for those staying in a Disney resort, however.
2. You can request a pack & play/crib as well as a high chair to your resort room for free. They provide you with a sheet for the pack & play as well.
3. For regular Disney buses that take you to and from your resort & the parks, you will ALWAYS have to break down the stroller and carry it on with you. This is one of the biggest reasons we invested in a more lightweight & compact stroller.
4. I ordered groceries from Amazon Prime Now (free delivery if you’re a Prime member) - this included goldfish crackers, bananas, grapes, a gallon of milk, yogurt, string cheese, diapers, etc. They will deliver it to the hotel but will leave it with the Bell Stand. You can call down and pay them to have it delivered to your room for a small charge OR go to the Bell Stand and pick it up yourself (no charge). We usually tip a few bucks for holding it for us, plus they will keep perishable items refrigerated, which is SO nice!

To those curious: My hubby is a travel agent that specializes in Disney, which is why we go so often. YES, we know she won't remember. :-P

[@kristinraeee]

Omg the fact that you have to justify why you wanna take your kid to Disney is crazy to me. Girl, travel agent hubby or not, go to Disney as much as you can and your beautiful baby girl will love looking back at all the pictures some day, and you will remember all the precious memories 🥰

[@saraheastlund8036]

Jessica Braun | JAMbeauty89 You are investing in her childhood and there is nothing wrong with that! She will always have the pictures you take and will love to hear you two tell her the stories! Parenting is hard and there is nothing wrong with creating happy memories for you and your hubby! You two will always remember these trips and cherish the memories! You two are creating a happy, loving childhood for her and that is unforgettable! ❤️❤️❤️

[@alysonriddle6799]

Terrible that you have to justify this. I don’t go anywhere without my child. He was 18mos old his first trip to Disney, he’s 10 now and has probably been 13 or 14 times. We all have wonderful memories from each trip💜

[@sara31773]

People that say “why? She won’t remember it anyway!” are ridiculous. No matter what the activity, babies benefit from it. New sights, sounds, smells to stimulate a babies brain will all contribute to their learning. If we never did anything because “they won’t remember” we’d never take them out of their cribs until they go to Kindergarten. 🙄

[@nikkiereagan128]

She might not remember, but you will! Your memories are just as important. Both of my kids don’t remember their first several trips. My daughter was almost 2 and my son was 4 months. I cherish those memories even though they don’t remember them at all. Parents matter too in making memories.

[@christinawilliams4475]

Do I have a baby or am I planning on having one soon? No. Am I watching this entire video? Absolutely!

[@jenfarina1892]

Ha, same!

[@guidedmeditation2396]

Babies hate Disney World. It is big, scary, tiring and a nightmare for their parents. Your child needs to be at least 5 or more to enjoy Disney World. It doesn't mean you can't drag a baby along and put it through a living hell but if you have one child and it is too young then forget it. You would be better off leaving the baby with grandma and you and hubby jetting off to Disney World yourself.

[@rosieg6093]

Guided Meditation Wow, judgey much. You obviously don’t know that ALL babies hate Disney. Also if you ever watched any of the travel vlogs Jessica and Tyler have posted you will see their daughter loves seeing the characters, bright colors and music. Will she remember the trip, no, but there will be pictures, stories and family love she will hear about her whole life. Just because it is something you wouldn’t do with your child there is no reason to share your negativity.

[@guidedmeditation2396]

@@rosieg6093 Hi Rosie. It is fair that my sayng ALL may be overstating it a bit but make no mistake about it. Most babies will get tired out and have a crappy day just going to walmart on a hot day. Being pushed around in the hot Florida sun for long days on end is way more difficult than going to Walmart. I have seen so many countless meltdowns and crying children and angry sad adults at disney parks that would have been better off leaving the baby with grandma and going to the parks alone. As for negativity, you need to understand that this is the reality and not a slam against anyone. Don't take it personally or get your diapers in a bunch. over it.

[@GazeldaS]

@@guidedmeditation2396 how rude! Keep your judgemental attitude to yourself.

Baby Gigi in sunglasses, hat and a floatie is the life I want to live

[@itsjessicabraun]

Same 😭

[@pinarose]

I was thinking the same thing!!! #livingherbestlife

[@lenmajuskin]

They must have updated the manual because loading the car seat into the kzbin.infoUgkxIG_q-ZqgbzYXwbeApK3AybegDUy4f2fF double stroller was mentioned in the manual (unlike previous comments/reviews). The undercarriage basket is quite large but it is difficult to access when the back rider is reclined, however my toddler usually doesn't fall asleep in the stroller these days so I haven't had an issue. I was amazed by how smooth the ride was and how easily I was able to maneuver the stroller in small spaces. My toddler loves that she can see her baby sister (see photo) during the ride :) Plus you can't beat the price! I have only loaded it once in my car and it is fairly light but my mother wouldn't be able to lift it in.

[@KaliP13]

Do I have a toddler? No.... but did I watch the entire video? Heck yeah!!! 🎃🤣

No kid, and no plan to go to Disney. I was still riveted - love all the “how it works” insider tips!

[@meganalcorn2473]

I LOVE that you actually showed everything. That is so helpful. I’m still working up the nerve to travel like that with my two and a half year old but videos like this make me feel more at ease.

[@sashac7002]

This is so helpful even for us parents out and about, not just for Disney. I'd love it if you could make baby favorites every 6 months or so. Even 3 months. Thanks for this!

[@iberokie]

My parents and I met you in Epcot while you were here and y’all were lovely!! Thank you for stopping and talking to me! 💙❤️

[@Lyssa1993]

I love how thorough you always are in explaining things in your videos. It’s awesome.

Wow jess! This was sooo informative. I'm loving your videos, well I have for years, but I'm loving you making such personal and helpful content!! You're awesome

[@christieswatzel4793]

I live in California, about an hour and a half away from Disneyland. We have season passes and go as much as we can. We’ve been taking my son since he was just a few months old. He’s nine now and loves it just as much today as he did when he was little. We can’t wait to go to Disney World one day! You are making such wonderful memories with your little cutie!❤️

[@maggiehaddock8400]

Thank you for addressing process of going through security at airport & gate to park! Good tips about the necessary logistics!

Well done, Jessica! This was obviously a passion piece and your experience and attention to detail really shine through. 🥰

[@kristinraeee]

I’m about to travel with my 18 month old and this video helped sooo much! I love all the mommy content ❤️

[@allieducote7884]

I LOVED LOVED LOVED this video. It was chock full of informative content and was entertaining to see the different clips of your recommendations in action. I know it must have been time consuming to plan, film, and edit all of those clips in but it made it 100x more valuable than a typical show/tell (like a haul). And I don’t even have a child!

[@itsjessicabraun]

Thank you so much Allie!! ❤️❤️

[@leighaparker8798]

I LOOOOVED this! It gave me so much hope and helpful tips that traveling with a toddler CAN BE DONE! Hallelujah! 🙋‍♀️

You did such a nice job with this video! So much planning and work. 👏

[@dyhappy7062]

Thank you so much for this video!! It has gave me a lot of tips!!!! And I really appreciate your hard work. I know that traveling with a baby itself is a lot of work so the fact that you even made a video showing all the process and preparation is just awesome!!

[@stacydion8672]

So excited for this video and it came at a perfect time! My daughter was born a couple weeks before Gigi and we are going on a long road trip with her next month. It will be her first long trip since she was a newborn so all these tips for packing and travelling will be super helpful!

[@PiaffePiaffe]

This video was SOO helpful!!!! We were planning a trip to Hawaii with our 14 month old (unfortunately it's been pushed back due to the threat of coronavirus), but I have had a lot of anxiety over what to pack, the airport, etc. Thanks for not only TELLING us what to do, but also having clips of you doing those things too. It makes a big difference for peace of mind to see someone else doing it before I have to! :)

Such great tips, Jess! We took my two year old in January. I love the idea of small new toys for the plane, and that suctioning mat is such a great idea! Our last day, we let him pick out a toy for the plane ride home. It was special and made leaving a little less sad!

Seeing your nice stroller made me remember about 15 years ago we had some friends that went to Disney World and parked their stroller. They came out after the ride and loaded up their child and only after they started walking did they notice their stroller wasn't rolling properly. Someone had switched/stolen their stroller with the exact kind and now they were stuck with a stroller with a bum wheel. I have never forgotten that story. Kudos to you guys for venturing to Disney with Gigi while she is so young. I didn't want to have to mess with strollers or diapers when we went. My kids are in high school and college, but I loved this video. I found your tips to be very practical and useful.
