Originally Posted By nemopoppins And on the attractions that 1 yr olds can't go on, presuming you are going with at least one other adult, you can get a switch pass so that you both may ride, switching off watching the baby, while only having to wait in line once. You just go to the cast member at the start of the queue with the baby and ask for one. Then one adult stays with the baby while other or others go on the ride. Then the adult who didn't get to ride gives the baby to one who already rode and uses the switch pass to go on without waiting in line (usually through the fastpass line; ask when you get the pass about how you use it). The user of the switch pass can also take someone else with him.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros Here's a list off the top of my head of things that should be fine to do with a baby. I know that they require the baby to be awake while on the attraction, but other than that, I think you can do whatever you want for seating arrangements... In Disneyland Park: Railroad All Main Street vehicles Enchanted Tiki Room Jungle Cruise Tarzan's Treehouse Pirates of the Caribbean Haunted Mansion The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Rafts and Tom Sawyer Island Mark Twain Riverboat Sailing Ship Columbia Pinocchio's Daring Journey Snow White's Scary Adventures Peter Pan's Flight Mr Toad's Wild Ride Alice in Wonderland Storybookland Canal Boats Casey Jr Circus Train Dumbo King Arthur Carousel Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough it's a small world All Toontown houses Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin Innoventions Disneyland Monorail Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters Honey, I Shrunk the Audience Astro Orbitor At Disney's California Adventure: Monsters, Inc: Mike and Sully to the Rescue Muppet Vision Animation building All of Flik's Fun Fair It's Tough to Be a Bug Walt Disney Imagineering Blue Sky Cellar Factory tours King Trion's Carousel Mickey's Fun Wheel (if open) Redwood Creek Challange Trail I'm not sure about a couple, because they are kind of special cases. I don't know about the canoes, since they require guests to paddle, so that would mean that there would be a lot of dead weight (parent and baby), so I don't think they would allow them (also concerns about being in water). Big Thunder Ranch has a petting zoo, which I believe is open to all ages, but might obviously need a little extra parental supervision/caution around the animals. I'm not sure about the teacups since I've never seen a baby ride, but I have seen it happen on Roger Rabbit's cartoon spin which has similar spinning motions, so I would think they would. I also have no idea if the Golden Zephyr in DCA has a height requirement, but I feel like it might. And just because a baby can ride it doesn't always mean that it's the best thing for them. Many of those attractions have sudden loud noises (Tiki Room and Jungle Cruise) or spend extended periods in the dark (Pirates and Haunted Mansion), or might just have something that would upset a baby. I feel like at that age, they would enjoy most things, so don't let that be a huge factor in your decision. Also, all entertainment is available to infants (Aladdin, Playhouse Disney, parade, Fantasmic!, fireworks, Billy Hill, etc), which can also give you a nice break in your day, if one is needed.
Originally Posted By imadisneygal There is no requirement that a baby needs to be awake to attend any attraction that they are tall enough to attend. I've taken my sleeping babies on many attractions including the DL Railroad, Haunted Mansion, Pirates, it's a small world, Jungle Cruise, etc. I've also taken them, although they were awake, on the Canoes as they have infant sized life vests. I do agree that the noise level is definitely a factor and also the lighting effects in some attractions. Specifically I didn't take them into It's Tough To Be A Bug until they were old enough to really want to go because it's loud and can be scary.

Originally Posted By imadisneygal Yes, there are sections of the trail that smaller kids can enjoy. There are tunnels, rope climbs, paths to wander, a small creek to splash in if it's warm enough, small slides... There are bigger slides (Hoot and Holler) that have a height requirement and also the rope swings and rock wall have height requirements. Anyone can go to the totem ceremony, it's actually a cute little show. I love the Challenge Trail for both of my kids. There are no strollers allowed inside, however, so if you have a sleeping child you'll have to carry them or wake them up.
Originally Posted By imadisneygal Ferret, I can't speak directly to Roger Rabbit because I've never tried to take a sleeping child on there, but I know that was your experience there. I just know that there is no "your child must be awake to ride" policy on most of the attractions. I'm not sure I understand the reason for it. Since there is no height requirement it's a given that if a person takes an infant on the attraction then they will be holding the baby anyway so why would it matter if the child was awake or asleep? I guess all I am saying is that, with possible rare exceptions, you can take a sleeping child on an attraction.
Originally Posted By LadyKluck ^^^You can't hold your child on Roger Rabbit - they have to sit next to you as LVBelle mentioned. So I'm assuming the issue is if the child is asleep you'd have to wake them up so they could sit next to you.
Originally Posted By imadisneygal Oh! Well, then that explains it. I missed LVBElle's explanation that the child must sit next to you. I'm sorry. I wonder then why there is no height requirement since an infant really can't sit in a seat next to an adult?
