Not sure if your little ones are big enough for a Disney World Vacation.....

I think this is what I hear the most, "My kids aren't big enough to take them to Disney World or Disneyland yet". So I want to tell you what there IS to do with those little ones!  I have taken both of my kids to Disney World in Orlando, FL before they were 6 months (my son was 5mo and my daughter was 4mo) and yes it is not the same experience as when you go as a kid or an adult without kids. BUT you see so many other things that you wouldn't see otherwise. Here is what you can ride/do with a child of any age...

I probably missed some, but just shows you how much there is to do with a child of any age.

If your child is 40" or taller- they can ride things like Test Track, Splash Moutain, Soarin', Kali River Rapids, Tower of Terror, Star Tours, Etc.  But if they aren't and you still want to ride some of those big rides here is what you want to do.....

"Switch Pass" Service- Any ride that you cannot take the child on (ie Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Test Track, Soarin', etc.) you can get a switch pass. Which means before one adult in your party enters the line for the ride they should as the cast member at the entrance for a switch pass, once that person has ridden the ride they give that pass to the other adult waiting with the child. They will then go to the fast pass line and have a much shorter wait, instead of getting in the stand-by line and waiting again for a second time.

Still think you aren't ready to tackle Walt Disney World with your young child.....
You might consider a Disney Cruise! Watch for another post on what there is do to for Toddlers, Children,Tweens, and Adults on a Disney Cruise.
