Also, if it's a regular vacation trip, it might be a bit difficult as you might still be used to spending a whole day there. With an AP, you could make it a shorter trip and see how it goes. Congrats, btw! /cs

Originally Posted By Kylesmom If your wife has a C-section I would wait until she's up to it. Another thing to consider is this year the crowds are totally whack do to the 50th, so there will be a lot of germy people around your new born, no matter when you go. Use your best jugement.
Originally Posted By out numbered mom With the crowd being what they are, I would wait a little while, 2-3 months old, until the baby has been able to gain some immunity. Unless you go during the week when there aren't as many crowds. Cold and Flu season has been really bad this year, and I would hate for the littlest mouse to get sick.

I was suprised how many rides we could take the baby on. And the baby pass is great!! I wouldn't take a newborn to DL. To many germs, and they need so much care!

It was a wonderful, and even restful trip.
