The midday rest

One of the most important golden rules to a great Disney trip with small kids: THE MIDDAY REST!!! It is so easy to get caught up in the mindset of fitting in every last bit that you can into everyday. Let's face it, you want to get every pennies worth of your vacation. But, trust me, if you start early and end late with small kids, no one will enjoy themselves. So, my advice to you:

  • Get up, eat breakfast and get to the park for 9am. 
  • Choose 3 or 4 rides or shows to visit before lunch.
  • Eat lunch at a quick service at the park, or eat when you get back to your resort.
  • Take the bus back to your resort for a nap or a swim break. Stepping away from the hustle and bustle does wonders. This is especially important if you want to stay up for fireworks, parades, or a movie under the stars.
  • After everyone is rested up, probably two hours later, take the bus back to the park..
Then enjoy the rest of your day. When you walk by that family with exhausted and crying kids(and parents!)you can just smile and enjoy your drama free day! We have had our kids nap in the stroller, but honestly, if you have little ones you will most likely benefit from a nap as well!
