Does anyone have any experiences or tips on going to Disneyland with a 2 week or so newborn? My wife and I are expecting our second child around Thanksgiving. I've never been to Disneyland with an infant that young. My first child was 11 months old when we took her. She took her first steps in Disneyland. It was awesome. Any tips or ideas would be helpful. Doctors say it's ok to fly. Is there anything I need to prepare for? I know the babycenter will come in handy. Thanks. :smile:

Probably best to just keep expectations low and keep it slow.

It could be a nice easy trip, as a two week old will probably sleep most of the time. A comfy fully reclining stroller will be a must have (duh!) :) I would even look at carry cot / pram options (if you can.) Having the baby in the infant car seat may sound like a good idea, but for a full day that is probably too much.

Your wife may actually be the one who needs "extra care?" Maybe rent a wheelchair for her (helpful if she needs to rest / nurse.)

Hope you have a great trip!!!
