I am going to Disney is 3 weeks and my daughter will be almost 11 months old, will she be able to go on anything such as It's a small world or winnie the pooh and things like that? just wondering if any of you went on the tamer rides with your young ones.

she will LOVE It's a Small World. I would think she would like the Carosel -- it can be fast but still . . . The Tomorrow Land Transit Authority would be fun as long as she is NOT afraid of the dark. Pirates is okay if she is all right with (very) loud noises and the dark. Jungle Cruise is great for little kids/babies. Peter Pan and Snow White can both be dark with some scarey imagery (the witch, the crocodile).

Watch out for the Fireworks my 2.5 year old son was terrified by them and it almost made him afraid of the dark.

She should love the Mexico ride at Epcot! It's like a mini-Mexican version of Small World. And there is never a line

Be sure if you are flying to bring tons of diapers (way more that think you will need) and extra changes of clothes. We got delayed in ORL on our way to JFK for 12 hours in the terminal. I had enough diapers but not enough clothes.

Philharmajic is for kids in MK Winnie The Pooh ride as well.

in AK See the Lion King Show . In MGM see the Little Mermaid.

There is actually more for her to do than you can imagine - we've had our kids at Disney since they were infants. We have fond memories and they love looking at the photos to this day. Enjoy the trip!!

don't forget all of the spoke/flying rides, dumbo, aladdin, and triceri-spin at AK...also the land should be fine for kids, as well as journey into imagination, ..just at the end cover her ears right before the air blast, thats the only thing i can think that would scare a child there...also the nemo ride!!

I find some of the rides listed above are hit or miss depending on your child and their individual fears. While all are good recommendations some might be scary. For example Journey into Imagination is fine except for the train simulator that is completely in the dark and can be very scary for kids.

I would recommend buying a light toy, for those dark moments. This will provide a means of distraction during those dark times. Most rides have scary moments, jungle cruise has the temples, little mermaid, Urulsa, etc. Just try to distract her during those moments.

Here are 2 other good links.

If you have any doubts.. ride the ride first.

Remeber kids at that age can be frighted of stuff they have never seen before. When you try something , like show you need to sit toward the back and on the end (so if you need to escape you can.)

We have taken a lot of kids that age to Disney. And you have to work with the kids, and give up on trying to do anything YOU want to do.

Don't forget to inquire about the Rider Switch program (at most rides) if you want to go on a ride that is too scary for your little one (if you have more than one adult in your party). Basically, they let one adult and the child wait outside of the ride while everyone else rides, and then you switch who watches the kid while the other people get to go on the ride. Ask the cast member at the entrance of the ride for details.

11 months is really young. Our daughter was 22 months when we took her. And there was a surprising amount we could do. But we were still very limited.

The best advice I can give you is to be very flexible, go at as slow a pace as you can stand, and take your cues from the little. Plan for naps. She's likely to get overstimulated pretty easily.
