Disney/Sea World

So, i haven't blogged for a while. We went on a week long vacation to Orlando. Now, we are back, and I have been unpacking and cleaning.. the normal stuff you have to do after a vacation. In some ways, it is more tiring than the vacation itself!! LOL


We hit your normal spots for Orlando; Disney and Sea World. We did not get to see much of Disney because in planning the trip, we allowed 1 day for each park. Big mistake. Anyway, I went with a breastfeeding 4 month old. So, if any of you are thinking of going with a baby, I have a few tips for you.

1. Be prepared to park your stroller. alot. They arent allowed in any of the rides or exhibits. They also have to be folded up to ride the tram or monorail. I recommend taking the boat to Magic kingdom. You can just roll that sucker right on the boat. P.S. lesson learned from me... if you bring a stroller make sure its light, you will be picking the stroller up alot to get it off and on the tram on monorail LOL.

2. Know where the baby care centers are. They are a lifesaver. You can take your baby there to get out of the heat, feed, change, or for naps. They even have a room for nursing mothers. Also, if you left any of the baby essentials at home, you can by them at the center. There is only 1 in the Disney Park, and can be quite a hike to get to, escpecially at Epcot if you are in the countries.

Disney had one room for nursing mothers. Luckily it wasn't crowded. Sea World had 3 rooms, one mom to a room with a changing table inside. (I didnt have to wait) Very nice for those that prefer privacy while feeding. I don't require it.. with motherhood comes the loss of your modesty. I did encounter a mother that kept popping her head in hoping the room was empty at Magic Kingdom. :) My favorite baby care area was at Sea world. My least favorite was at Epcot. Sea world had the individual nursing rooms, a nice big play and changing area. Epcot had a small baby care center, it got corwded easily.. not to mention the long hike to get there, if you were in the countries.

3. Food is expensive. Bring your own snacks and water.

4. Animal Kingdom... the shows are extremely loud.. escpecially the Lion king show. I dont recommend taking your baby in. I brought mine, but didnt know better at the time. It's up to you, but I wont again.

5. don't forget the sunscreen!!

6. Disney souveneers are cheaper OUTSIDE of disney..


Thats all I can think of for right now lol. Overall, i enjoyed the trip.. we got rained out of Magic Kingdom 2 hours after getting there, so we saw very little and didnt get to ride anything. We ate at T-Rex one night there. It was alot of fun. The kids loved it.. well, mine did. The table near us had a little boy in tears. It is loud in there. It had a T-rex that roars.. and every few minutes the room goes dim and you hear an explosion. On the wall a virtual comet streaks across the virtual sky. The wait is about an hour but the food was very good. If you have kiddies, be sure to take them out to dig for "dinasaur bones" :) LOL.

Sea Wrold was alot of fun. we spent alot of time in the kiddie section. We did go see the Shamu show. The trainers did not swim with the whales like the used to. i guess in wake of the recent accident, but it was a wonderful show none the less. The klydesdale horses are no longer there. They have a few draft horses to replace them.


Have a great day!!
