How We Do Disney with Two Kids Under 5 (Without Losing It)

We love Disney—but let’s be honest, doing it with two little kids is not exactly a vacation. It’s work. It’s snacks. It’s stroller naps. It’s someone crying in the middle of a parade (sometimes us). But it’s also worth it. We’ve been learning how to do it better every time, and here’s what’s worked for us.

5 Things That Make Our Trips Way Easier

1. We Don’t Rope Drop Anymore

Our mornings start slow. We eat breakfast, pack snacks, and head into the parks around 10am. We miss the rope drop rush, but we also skip the meltdowns.

2. We Book One Thing a Day That Feels Special

Maybe it’s a character meal. Maybe it’s Dumbo. Maybe it’s the pool. We keep expectations simple and just make one magical moment the goal each day.

3. We Build in Midday Breaks

We always head back to the hotel for rest after lunch. Even if no one naps, the quiet time helps all of us reset. Bonus: it makes evenings at the parks way more manageable.

4. We Use Mobile Order Like It’s Our Job

Hungry kids + long lines = recipe for regret. We mobile order everything we can and time it around stroller rides or shows. Life-changing.

5. We’ve Learned to Let Go of the Checklist

We used to try to “do it all.” Now we just focus on the moments our kids actually enjoy—even if that means riding the carousel three times instead of making it to Space Mountain.

Disney with littles doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to have enough magic to make the memories stick. If you want help planning a trip that feels doable and fun for your crew, we’re here for that. No pressure, no stress—just support from people who’ve done it.
