Disneyland With Babies

You may be surprised by how much you can do with a baby at Disneyland. And children two years and under are free, so that’s even more reason to bring your little ones to the Happiest Place on Earth! I happen to believe that babies at Disneyland really add to the magic. Seeing their little eyes focus and lock in on all there is to see really is a truly special experience. 

Seeing characters, watching parades and live shows are all fun for babies. And finding a spot away from the crowds and letting your little one toddle around can be a great way to spend the day. 

It’s not all just wandering around with a baby and watching from the sidelines, though. There are so many attractions that don’t have a height requirement that the entire family can enjoy, big and small! For the most part, rides that allow for all heights can also accommodate baby wearing (which is great if you have a wee one who falls asleep in their carrier, that way you don’t have to risk waking them up when you transfer them out). However, I have experienced Cast Members requesting that the baby face a certain direction or be removed entirely from the carrier – so make sure to check with the Cast Member operating the attraction and follow their guidance for the safest practice at that time.

Mask Policy Updates

Starting tomorrow, Thursday 2/17/2022, masks will no longer be required for fully vaccinated guests at indoor* and outdoor locations throughout the Disneyland Resort (and Walt Disney World). Unvaccinated guests will be required to wear masks indoors, but no proof of vaccination is required to enter the property.

This marks the first major mask policy change for the Disneyland Resort since reopening April 30, 2021 after a 412 day closure due to the pandemic.

See below for further specifics regarding appropriate mask usage.

There are certain to be wildly varying opinions on this development. Personally I don’t think the time is ideal since vaccines are still unavailable to children under the age of five, and children make up a large population of visitors to these theme parks. On the flip side, I’m sure Cast Members are beyond exhausted trying to enforce these rules for the past ten months and hopefully this will take some pressure off of them.

I hope everyone practices their patience and kindness as this transition occurs. It’s also worth noting that we’ve seen things change throughout this pandemic numerous times, and what’s best for this moment may not be the same solution a few months down the road. Nothing is permanent!

What are your thoughts on this policy change?

*Masks will continue to be required for all guests in certain indoor settings such as enclosed transportation vehicles and First Aid buildings.

Walt Disney Obituaries

Admittedly it would be hard to sum up the impact and achievements of a man like Walt Disney with a short headline. But this Twitter thread showcases how some newspapers of the time hilariously tried after his death in 1966. I’m partial to Walt Disney: Quite a Guy!
