1. Rent a Stroller: Rather than lugging a stroller (including on and off of parking lot trams and buses), parents with young children can rent stroller for the day’s use in any of the four Walt Disney World theme parks. Tips for renters: (1) opt for a length-of-stay rental, which saves some money; (2) keep your receipt; if you’re park-hopping during the day, drop off the stroller when you’re leaving a park and use your receipt to obtain a stroller when you enter another park.
2. Baby Care Centers: Baby Care Centers are located in all four Disney theme parks and feature private rooms with rocking chairs for nursing mothers, diaper-changing rooms, and feeding rooms with highchairs, bibs and plastic spoons. There are even diapers, formula and teethers for sale.
3."A rider swap" program lets both parents enjoy a ride – one parent waits with the child while one parent rides a ride. Afterwards, the other parent can board the ride with minimal wait time, ask any castmember at the attractions for this special rider swap option.
4. Special Guide Map: Special guide maps are available at Guest Relations in all the theme parks, focus on where you can find the characters, attractions, entertainment and interactive activities of special interest to young children.
5. Theme Park Guide Maps: available in English, French, German, Japanese, Spanish and Portuguese and times guides for shows, character greetings, parades and fireworks are available at Guest Relations locations in each park.
6. Disney’s FASTPASS: Guests can avoid waiting at designated popular attractions in all four Walt Disney World theme parks. At the entrance to attractions offering FASTPASS, two times are posted: approximate wait time using the normal queue, and return time for FASTPASS holders currently being issued (at no charge to park guests). If the wait is long, guests can choose to obtain a FASTPASS ticket with an assigned return time (an hour-long window) and then use the time until then for other experiences in the park. Upon returning to use their FASTPASS, the guest experiences little or no wait time to enter the attraction. Guests who decide to forego a popular parade frequently discover it’s a time to experience a popular attraction with less wait.
7. Mid-Day Breaks: Especially in the heat of the summer, a mid-day break will be a welcome break from the sun, heat and crowds. Crowd levels at Disney theme parks will be at it's highest around 2pm. I highly recommend arriving at the theme park of your choice about 15 to 20 minutes prior to park opening and enjoying the park until about 1pm. Shortly after lunch is a good time to head back to your resort for a mid-day break. By doing so, you will miss the busiest part of the day at the theme parks. After a refreshing swim or nap, it's time to head back to the theme park for dinner and visit more attractions.
