There’s that certain age when they feel they’re too old for a stroller, too young to not hold your hand in a crowded park. But they have energy to burn and little patience to spare. There is so much to see and do at Walt Disney World. But then, there’s also all that “hurry up and wait.” You rush to an attraction only to have to wait patiently in line. With a 5-year-old.

One of the best trips I ever took to Walt Disney World was with my 6 and 7 year old sons and me. Just me and the boys. And it was awesome! But scary. Because I was it. The only adult.

It was also the most educational trip ever for me as a parent. Let me share my new Disney wisdom! There are family bathrooms everywhere!

We’ve juggled many ages and stages Continue reading Bringing Your Toddler Or Baby To Walt Disney World→
