DISNEY HACKS 🏰 | 10 MOM-APPROVED TIPS FOR DISNEY WITH A BABY + A TODDLER 2018 👶🏻🧒🏼

[@ItsaGreatDisneyDay]

Great tips! I’ve been doing Disney with kiddos for 20 years now! 1 thing I would add is that people should definitely book a character meal before the child’s 3rd birthday when on a budget so the little ones EAT FREE!! It will never get cheaper than that!

[@atoyshabassene6273]

we are taking our 2 yr old. how do I book the meal. we are staying close to the parks like 8 minutes away but the resort is not part of Disney

[@ItsaGreatDisneyDay]

Log onto the disneyworld website click on Things to Do and look for All Dining. You can book reservations online or call 407-939-5277. Hope that helps!

[@samanthabrown656]

Use Amazons PrimeNow service app. It allows you to order groceries from the local Whole Foods to be delivered to your hotel room. We ordered bananas, yogurts, squeeze applesauces, oatmeal packs, apples, peanut butter, jelly, bread, juice boxes, veggies etc. We made PB&J sandwiches each morning and cut up apples, peppers and cucumbers and carrots for out kids to have as healthier snacks in the park. Kids ate a yogurt each morning and we used the coffee maker in the room to make hot water that we added to instant oatmeal that they ate out of the coffee cups in the room. We also ordered bottles of wine and a case of beer and enjoyed those from the room/patio once the kids fell asleep for a fraction of the price of what Disney hotels charge for alcoholic beverages. Tip: pack a knife, plastic bags, and silverware in your suitcase to cut up the veggies/sandwiches and store

[@theartofadventureslifestyl7260]

We like to have realistic expectations! We make a few top priority goals for the day and then enjoy any bonuses beyond that. Sets the tone with lots of room for relaxation, joy and of course Disney magic. ✨

[@cruzsbluejeans]

My tip....schedule character meals for breakfast or lunch instead of dinner. It is typically cheaper, and eating table service at lunch allows you to get out of the mid day sun. Also, don't waste money on the dining plan. Most people spend less money paying out of pocket. If you want your meals prepaid, then buy gift cards instead.

[@NatalieBennett]

🖤❤️ *You really ARE an expert! Such great tips for when we bring Hailey next time we go! This was so fun to Collab! I hope to actually meet you in person soon! Also, I got teary eyed at your last tip! It's SO special to have these memories captured. My boys always ask to watch our Disney vlogs too!* 🖤❤️

[@angelarose9636]

We ALWAYS pack tons of food and snacks so we can save money and save time waiting in line for food. We splurge on one good meal each day and have feally enjoyed our last few trips much more. Your family is so dang cute!! ❤

[@joannehopesLife_After_40]

A good hack is to take a picture of the name of the parking lot where you parked your car. And the most relaxing rides are the train, and the people mover (in tomorrow land).

[@savannahrobb986]

Your tips are the best, I loved the one about packing with the sticky notes on the weather each day. Genius.

[@jocelynbakarian3532]

Take advantage of the baby care centers is my hack!!

[@tonidavis8182]

I love the magic hours. U can go in the morning or evening. Depending what parks are doing it

[@miae801]

Thank you for the tips, heading to Disneyland with a 3 year old and a 9 month old. ❤️

[@FunWithMadison]

Great tips but you left out two HUGE tips. Baby Centers at each of the Disney World theme parks and the rider swap passes!!

[@sabrina4262]

marisolygarcia yes!! These are such important tips!

[@jessikadufour8015]

This is so great my son will be born in February and we want to take him to WDW around his first birthday and this made me feel like it would be worth it!!

[@marisdiary]

Awww you collabed with Nat!!!! How awesome! I just watched her video ❤️ Loved yours too, suh great tips Bri!! I've never been to Disney, but hopefully I'll be able to take my baby boy one day 😍

[@thewonderfulworldofdiane910]

pack a lot of snacks is a must

[@jocelynbakarian3532]

Perfect! We will be taking our son to Disneyland in September (7 months) and on a Disney Cruise (22 months) next December!!

[@lizettevalderas]

I love how you ended your video with the coco song especially how you mention how you and Landon love the song lol so cute. And thanks for the tips I’m planning a Disney trip next year

[@gizzystravels4677]

Tip if you have a dark stroller or pram bring something light coloured for baby to sit on as seats get hot while your on the rides.

[@glamarazzi07]

i can't wait to go to disney!! ❤️ i don't have any little ones yet but this video was so creative...i loved it Bri!! thanks for sharing. you should be proud of the mama you are ❤️

[@jdziengowski]

Great tips! I saw someone mentioned the Baby Centers. They are awesome! My daughter is 3 and she has been three times already. Next year will be her 4th visit. This was the first year we split a day. We were staying in a rental home for two weeks that is about 20 minutes from Disney. So we went early and left for nap/ relaxation time and then went back at night for fireworks ( Magic Kingdom). It worked out well. When we stay in the park we take advantage of magic hours

[@svetlanaaa_]

I love ALL of your mom hack videos! Keep them coming!! 😘

[@emcav8979]

Thanks for the video! Great tips! What stroller do you have? I have a three year old and am expecting #2 so I’m looking for a good double stroller for a toddler and baby!! Also, have you ever done a Disney cruise??

[@laurencestra8319]

would love tips on packing for these kind of trips, for the over all trip and for a day out with the kids, i think we as moms always overpack b/c we think we need everything we own but what do we really need lol??!?!?

[@euniceestrada6769]

Lauren Cestra you won’t need much if you have bigger children bring them snacks and just one change not big strollers since they changed the rules on strollers for smaller stroller . If you want Minnie ears order them on Etsy or amazon they are more affordable I paid 150 for three Minnie ears headband not cheap . If you have a baby bring three baby bottles filled with water or 4 and a baby warmer bottle .a baby carrier charger case you will be taking lots of pictures

[@brittanip.4783]

Rider swap is great when you have a kid that’s too small for a ride, but the rest of your party wants to get on without anyone missing out on the fun or having to wait in line twice!

[@OURHAPPYPLACE]

Can you use photos taken by disney photographers in social media postings?

[@vanessab1084]

Thank you so much for your helpful tips! I've been to both Disney Land and World but this will be first time with a toddler and pre school age so thank you for recommending Natalie's page! I got emotional with you on the breastfeeding. Both my kiddos self weaned at 15 months and 12 months. Also, I wish I knew how to vlog and edit. I take so many videos and pics of my kiddos--an overwhelming amout- but never regret it! However, I to enjoy those in-the-moment times.

[@samanthabrown656]

Purchase those mess free coloring books that you use the special water pen with to keep kids occupied when standing in line for things. We also packed lots of fruit snacks and small dum dum suckers to help pass the time in longer lines.

[@qdbnice5]

My kids will be 11 7 and 1 next year when we go back I was so discouraged trying to figure out a plan of some sort for baby bc I feel bad leaving a kid out but you and another blog mom have me super excited now

[@brendatate8986]

Great Hacks! Thanks for sharing! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@kaitlync15]

ah thank you for this! taking our son in November (he will be 2.5 years old then)! love the tip for tracking the stroller and arriving before the gate opens! we will be doing stroller naps too! loved the tip from Natalies videos to get the gift cards at Target to save 5% we are going to do that to pay for the balance of our trip and bring more gift cards to save even more! also, loved her tip to use amazon prime to deliver groceries or other items to the hotel room!

[@ChessaKali]

Great tips! If you ever go to Universal, I would love to hear a video of your hacks for that park.

[@joannehopesLife_After_40]

Which resort did you enjoy the most? The Grand Floridian or the Polynesian? As a Tampa resident, we all know that the All-star sports and music resorts are the least expensive. But I have never been to the resorts you visited.

[@joannehopesLife_After_40]

Good to know! Thanks! ♡

[@anastasialloyd9582]

I love love love this we’re going on vacation right after my son turns one , not at Disney unfortunately but the parts about keeping memories and which weren’t all about Disney was helpful! And the whole time I’m watching this video I was like hey you know if we go before he’s three he’s free and you can bring your own food and drinks lol I really wanna go to Disney I’ve never been 😢 I would love to take my lil man!!! Thank you for this it’s great 👌🏼♥️

[@brittanip.4783]

Renting DVC points can help make staying in the monorail (or at a deluxe resort period) much more affordable!

[@shefaf]

You guys are all so adorable helpppp

[@amberlysoto]

What size cooler is permitted?

[@victoria_montgomery]

This video came just in time! I leave tomorrow for Disney World with my 14 month old son and being 32 wks pregnant. 😊

[@lisagreig2003]

Awww, what a sweet video.💕

[@victoriarodriguez3913]

I'm from Natalie Bennett's channel and i have a little boy who is almost 2 and a little girl due in a month and omg this was Soooooo helpful and i loved seeing it. Cant wait to watch more of your videos. ❤

[@mollyherner1163]

I'm not a new subscriber but I usually just comment on your Instagram. I absolutely love the vlogs and all of the Disney videos. I may not have kids of my own yet or be very close to that but I love watching all of your tips and tricks!! Loveeee this channel so so much!!

[@Keegan131]

I also rent strollers from kingdom strollers and they are really really nice strollers we always get a B.O.B. and they are really inexpensive and delivered right to your hotel room the day you arrive and picked up the day you leave and you can pick your choice of single double triple and brand/style of your stroller. Amazing service and I also agree with adding something to your stroller to be able to spot it in a cluster of strollers because there are so many in one spot and it's hard to find yours unless you have something to spot it in a crowd. I like doing lunch character meals because it's hot that time and gets my kids out of the crazy hot sun and cool off a little and recharge in a way. ALSO if doing the princess hair boutique at Cinderella castle or the other location book it ahead we were told before atleast a few months to guarantee the time/day you want and help you plan better and they book very fast and so glad I did it because the week we went (Mickeys not so scary Halloween party we went Oct 18-nov1 as well as August 12-27 2014) also park associates who walk around taking photos are always willing to take a photo of your entire group with your own camera and never fuss about it even with them having a camera and take photos and charge for you to get those photos so always a thought because I know some people are not always super comfortable asking a complete stranger to take their expensive camera or phone when you have all your information or lots of memories it can sometimes be scary having someone have that in their hands I know a couple mom's who have had their phones stolen that way not at Disney but other amusement parks/museums and such. Disney World is our absolute favorite place to go and my son is 2 and I haven't taken him yet and my daughter is 8 and has gone twice and first time was 4 and remembers absolutely every single time and all the memories and can't wait to bring my son next year we are going for the Christmas event in 2019 which we are VERY excited for. We love the Disney World parties at Halloween and can not wait to experience the Christmas one they are so amazing and special and the park is decorated so beautifully and doesn't cost extra. Disney truly is a magical place for every age!

[@LifeWithLizzet]

Such great hacks! Love the sticky note idea!

[@alissonvilla553]

your kids are so adorable !!!!!!!!

[@estherdenouden8333]

Love the collab. I am a fan of both you two. Thanks for sharing. We going to the zoo next week with a New born. This is a very useful. God bless.

[@heidib1362]

When do you recommend starting the planning process. We are thinking about taking our boys next year (probably in late August early September)

[@atoyshabassene6273]

which rides are great for a 2 yr old. 1st time taking our child so not sure if height restrictions. she is 38" tall and we are going in August so she may be closer to 40" by then. she is pretty tall I think

[@castlesandcandy]

Knew you’d have the best tips! I just read on a Disney blog that Disneyland is doing fastpasses via the app now too! And mobile ordering at lots of of restaurants! Definite time savers :)

[@Jsking2323]

We are wanting to go and take our 4 kids. Since we have 4 kids we wanted to get a mutli room suite or 2 connecting rooms. Do you think it is worth it to get multiple room?

[@christygirl765]

Thank you for the tips!!!

[@emilylopato146]

What park did the one year old Like best ??

[@CaitllinnM13]

I love staying at the Contemporary because you can just walk back from the Magic Kingdom! We go see the fireworks a lot more often when we stay there because I don't have to deal with the hoards of people with the stroller after😂

[@RashelleMarie]

Such great tips, Bri! Cant wait to use some of these on my next Disney trip. Lets plan a mamas Disney trip soon. xo

[@andreaalvarez6416]

[@roslynrodriguez4922]

Hiya! I am going to Disneyland in June for the first time since I was a toddler myself...haha, this time with my toddler just before he turns 3 too! Your tips are great and very helpful...some I have heard or read from others blogging. I was planning to stay 4 nights in Long Beach, 30 mins from Disneyland and driving there. But after watching your video and others, I am starting to wonder if I should stay either 1-2 nights near Disneyland in either a hotel or airbnb and 2-3 nights in Long Beach instead of entire time in LB. Mainly in case my toddler needs to take a nap as I dont think he'll last til the fireworks. What do you suggest? I dont think my little man will sleep in the stroller. hIS COMFY ONE i WONT BE BRINGING BECAUSE ITS A MY JOGGING ONE WHICH IS TOO BIG AND BULKY so bringing second best but yea its a risk. Do you think 1 day is enough?? What time do they stop the rides and what time are the fireworks? Where do you book in advance for the character meals?

[@vanessathomas3040]

Thank you for sharing your tips! We’re hoping to take a trip by the end of the year :)

[@rebeccaharris9310]

How old was Landon when you first took him to Disneyland/world? I have a 10 month old and we are trying to decide when to take her to Disneyworld. I don’t want to take her too young to really enjoy it.

[@Chickennoodlesoup4you]

I’m a new subscriber. You are adorable with a bright bubbly personality and your kids are just the cutest. Presley what a great name. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Have a fantastic weekend

[@tiffanykirby6039]

Did you use a stroller lock? I’ve saw a lot of posts about strollers being stolen. I’m going next week and I’m so worried it’s going to get stolen

[@BreLoomis]

I’ve been going to both since I was 2. AJ has never been so I can’t wait until our daughter is old enough for both of them to have the time of their lives. Lol the fast pass/getting there early tip was a good one! And I live by tip #10! 💕

[@FNTssonic]

Thanks for this! I now want to take my son just before he turns three. He is just a few days younger than Presley.

[@amandaseepersad5752]

My SO and I are planning on taking our babies next year. They will be five, three and two. How much money do you think is a good amount to save when planning a trip to Disney World?

[@kristinamurphy4166]

Awesome advice!

[@alexcastillo4592]

Can I know what stroller you have? 😭

[@rebeccahind6429]

Its in the discrimination

[@ThatsWhatJSaid37]

Hey mama! Such a great video! I was wondering if taking a toddler to Disney was practical at their age, but it seems like FUN!!! I have a 1 year old sassy little girl! She's my everything! I also make youtube videos :) I was more into beauty but I am considering switching to a mommy blog channel like yours too! Ive been honestly feeling kind of lost on what to do, but I figured since I don't have time to Glam up daily and I do more mom life things, why not!?!!? LOL - I hope we can be friends, I love watching you! Ps- Coco is currently our favorite disney movie!!!!

[@ashxmm]

Would you recommended Disneyworld or Disneyland for first time Disney trip for a parent and a toddler?

[@EntirelyKristen]

All about the stroller tip!!! We didn’t mark ours when we went but we had a Hot Pink one 🙈😂 so it definitely stood out! We went to Chef Mickeys too the food was so great! And I totally agree the character lines were crazy long and we were so happy we had the character meals!

[@Xoxoflow89]

Rent a locker and take extra shoes/clothes

[@LAURENMARIE429]

On Etsy they sell stickers if god forbid they were to get lost: the outside says if I need help peel off my sticker to reveal my contact information on the inside once you peel the sticker off is parents name cell phone home town and resort you are staying at. This is better because it’s a sticker on their back that the kid can not see and or take off. Search safety id sticker. I can’t tell you how many parents stopped me to ask where I got the stickers from and what a great idea it was . etsy.me/2c73u1R

[@muhammadawan1021]
