THE TODDLER & THE MOUSE

THE TODDLER & THE MOUSE will be a series of tips on how to maximize the magic of your trip to Disney with a toddler in tow.

Tip # 1: Take a practice run at the zoo.

Not sure if your kid will nap in the stroller at the park but don't want to go back to the room for a mid day siesta (or two)? Do a practice run. Spend all day at the zoo.

I thought I'd have to put a blanket over the stroller top and block everything out, sit on an out-of-the-way bench and lay the seat all the way flat.

I was way wrong.

My daughter finally fell asleep when I gave her her lovely, reclined the seat only a little, and let her drift a sleep watching the hustle and bustle while I kept walking. Kinda like when I fall asleep watching the TV.
