Walk to Downtown Disney
Disneyland has changed the position of metal detectors and security making the wait for the tram to ride into the parks longer than it used to be. Right when you get off the escalator, you have a security checkpoint and then another line to wait for the tram. Unless both lines are relatively short, we make our way across to Downtown Disney.
Use the Monorail Entrance into Disneyland

Pack Properly
Within my stroller post, you’ll find details on how to pack your bags for your visit. I recommend taking two bags in for babies. Here is why:
Bring – or Rent – a Good Stroller
A good stroller can make all the difference in your visit. There are pros and cons to bringing your own, renting on-site and renting off-site. Take a look at my Stroller Post to review your options and to grab a code for 10% off all your baby rentals from the company I recommend.
Follow the Basic Guidelines for a Successful Visit
Babies require more care than older children – of course, they do. But, I still recommend you use the basic strategies that you would use for any other visit. You can find that in my Disneyland Rules post.
Places to Escape for Quiet (nursing, napping, etc)
In addition to the Baby Care Centers, there are small areas in each park that will be good for a quick escape – to let your crawler stretch his legs, to nurse, to feed a baby, to allow kids to nap in their strollers and more. Take a look at this map for my suggestions:

Can you bring a baby to Disneyland?
Bringing Babies to Disneyland: Everything You Want to Know . Taking a family vacation with a baby can be daunting. Not only do you need to pack endless supplies but it's a constant job of caring for your little one all day long. Disneyland Resort is actually a very family-friendly location if a theme park is your vacation destination.
1. Baby Carrier
While you can certainly bring a stroller with you (and I’ll talk more about that in a moment), I think it’s smart to bring some kind of baby carrier.
3. Baby Care Centers
Both Disneyland and California Adventure offer these rooms – they are full-service centers that are available to help you take care of your baby. They have a nursing room with comfortable chairs, a changing room with changing tables, high chairs for feeding baby, a kitchen, and even a room with a television.
4. Bring Others
I think what made our trip to Disneyland more successful was having some of our family there. It was nice to have a few extra hands to hold Oliver if Forrest, and I wanted to go on a ride with Jack that Oliver wasn’t big enough for. Oliver loved having lots of people to talk to him and dote on him, too!.
5. Avoid hot or busy months
We went in May, and it was starting to get quite warm. However, it wasn’t as hot as it could be. When we went back in 2008, it was over 100 every day. I would avoid going during those days because I think it’s just too hot for a little baby. Heat exhaustion is a real risk for anyone, but especially for young children.
6. Baby-friendly rides at Disneyland
There are a lot of great rides you can go on with your baby at Disneyland. Most of the classic, original rides are baby friendly (even if they are kind of scary!) I was able to wear Oliver right onto most of them.
7. Where to stay
In an ideal world, I think it would be fun to stay in the park, especially if we had a baby. So much time is wasted driving to the park, parking, getting on the carts that bring you to the park, etc.
8. What to bring
It does require a little bit more equipment to go to Disneyland with a baby – or, well, anywhere! Here are a few things I recommend:
What to bring to Disneyland for a newborn?
1. Bring a stroller. With a newborn baby, a stroller is essential for transportation. The good news is that Disneyland is VERY stroller-friendly! In fact, I’d say that maybe half of the people at Disneyland are pushing strollers (if not more), so you’re definitely in good company.

How many adults wait for baby rides?
