Travelling To Orlando With Children
Obviously for those travelling by car, you will have plenty of
activities at hand to amuse the children and play plenty of
games e.g. spying certain colours of cars etc. For those of you
flying a small bag for each child to carry on board with their
favourite books/colouring pads/playing cards. Most airlines
offer young flyers an activity pack to help amuse them and of
course there are the in flight movies- often including a
children's option and sometimes a dedicated children's channel.
Plan ahead and order a child's meal when you book your flight.
Children will be more likely to eat if it is something that
appeals to them.
On arrival make sure you comply with the law having your
children safely strapped into your rental car- whether it is
just by wearing the existing seatbelts or if you need to rent a
child car safety seat.
Where to stay?
For the same price as a single hotel room you could rent a very
spacious condominium or small vacation villa where everyone has
their own individual bedroom, there is a lounge in which to
relax, a kitchen where juices and snacks are available 24/7,
plus a patio/balcony or pool terrace. Just think the children
could have a room of their own to watch all their favourite
programmes while you relax in the lounge to watch an alternative
programme or just to sit and read a book undisturbed. If you
have very young children, it is great to be able to put them
down for a nap in a completely separate room.
Try renting a privately owned vacation home...
Many of the privately owned homes cater well for children and
most offer a crib/cot, high chair and sometimes even a stroller
for you to use FREE OF CHARGE during your stay.
Naturally, if you visit Orlando with children, Walt Disney World
will probably feature high on your
list of "things to do". All
the theme parks are extremely child friendly. If you do not have
a stroller, they are available for hire at the entrance to the
parks. All rides have clearly written signs saying suitable
age/height restrictions. For those with very young children,
they offer a service whereby one parent can go on a ride
(perhaps with an older child) then come off and swap with the
other parent who was holding the baby- all without the second
parent having to join the end of the queue again. All
restaurants- both full-service and counter-service cater well
for younger tastes/appetites. There are also Baby Centres
clearly marked in each of the parks for feeding/changing very
small babies.

Be assured after a busy day at a park, it is a delight to return
to your own vacation condo/villa for a dip in the pool, a cool
drink, some time on the computer or just to sit around chatting
with all your friends and family and anyone has the added bonus
of being able to go off to bed whenever it suits them, safe in
the knowledge that their sleep will not be disturbed by everyone
else chatting. Also you can toss your clothes into the washing
machine in your vacation home- ready to put on again another
day. Let's be honest- this alone is a huge 'plus' when
travelling with children!
