Taking young kids to Walt Disney World can be an unforgettable experience, but it also comes with its challenges! In this episode, we’re breaking down everything you need to know to make your trip smooth, stress-free, and fun for the whole family.
Taking Toddlers to Pre-Teens to Walt Disney World
We’ll start with when is the right time to take kids to Disney—is there such a thing as too young? Then, we’ll go over the best resorts for families with little ones, covering Value, Moderate, and Deluxe options that offer convenient transportation, family-friendly rooms, and quick access to the parks (because nap time is real!).

Next, we’re diving into the best character dining experiences for tiny travelers, from meeting Mickey at Chef Mickey’s to princess dining at Cinderella’s Royal Table and Akershus. Plus, we’ll highlight the best kid-friendly meals, themed restaurants, and how to score hard-to-get dining reservations.
We’ll also share our top packing tips, including what to bring for a successful park day, from stroller must-haves to essential snacks and ways to keep kids entertained in long lines. And, of course, we’ll tackle ride strategies—which attractions are perfect for young kids, how to navigate Lightning Lane Multi-Pass and Rider Switch, and how to plan your day to avoid meltdowns while still catching the must-do experiences.
Finally, we’ll talk about common mistakes to avoid, like skipping midday breaks, overpacking the park bag, or planning fireworks every night. Whether it’s your child’s first Disney trip or you’re looking to make things easier, this episode is packed with practical advice and pro tips to make your Disney vacation magical for everyone!
