Dressing a Baby for Disney



We leave for Disney tomorrow (AHHHHHH!!!) and I can't wait to show you the cutest things that I have even collecting for Henry to wear. It will be his first trip and I'm slightly excited! I found the cutest shops on etsy to help me put together a ton of cute options. Many of these shops offer several Disney items, so please click on the links and check them out.

I will be posting tons of pictures on Instagram so make sure you are following me. I will also be doing a recap of each day when we get back and will be showing my little man wearing all these cute things!

Packing the Perfect Bag for a Baby at Disney


I have learned (after several trips to Disney with kids), that although its good to be prepared, you don't need to bring everything you own to the parks. In 2 weeks, we leave for Disney with our new 4 month old baby.....yes you read that right. I am taking a 4 month old to Disney. Some of you may think I am crazy, but I have been told taking a new baby to Disney is quite easy...I mean they sleep all the time. I have done a lot of research and feel confident that I have the perfect bag packed to bring to the parks. We all know babies need a lot of stuff, but I have condensed the list down and here is what I am including.  You will see links to purchase these items underneath the pictures. Make sure to tell them that you heard about them from my blog!!

First of all, how cute is this backpack. Its the perfect size and lightweight to hold all the essential baby items. It's also very comfy to carry. 



These bags are perfect for holding all the small things (this is where all those sample sizes come in handy). I plan on adding a small thing of baby powder, some diaper rash cream, sunscreen, band aids and extra paci's. 




I love these personalized baby bottles! The seller was super sweet and even sent me a sip cup for my 4 year old! I will also be adding packets of formula. Don't forget you can get free cups of water all over the park to mix your formula with...no need to carry around water bottles. Make sure to pack a bottle brush and a small bottle of dish soap so you can wash the bottles and nipples in the hotel room. 





Of course we need a paci clip and bib. These are so cute!! The fabric is soft and yes, you can even wash that paci clip. They match perfectly with all our cute Disney outfits!



Burp cloths are important for all that fun baby stuff (ha!). These three are just the perfect size and colors.  They also have terry cloth on one side so they are very absorbent. 



Of course I'm bringing lots of diapers (that goes without saying). Wipes are a must too. How cute is this wipes case?! It looks like Mickey Mouse!





I'm also adding in a clip on fan that we got on the last trip. You can usually buy these online and at a few local big box stores too. They are really nice to have to keep your baby cool on a hot day.  Don't forget extra batteries!

Don't forget a change of clothes...who knows what could happen? Spit up, blow outs, etc. Good times. Put it all in a big Ziplock bag so that you have a place for the dirty stuff.  Add in a small bottle of hand sanitizer. 

What else do you think are must have's?

Getting A First Hair Cut At Disney

Did you know you can get your baby's first haircut at Disney World inside the Magic Kingdom?

Yup! You can!!

You have probably never even noticed Harmony Barber Shop (located on Main Street). Its tucked away between City Hall and The Emporium. It's one of those places you wouldn't even know existed unless you were looking for it. 



For just $25, it's one of the things at Disney that is actually a pretty good deal!

The package comes with the haircut, a set of Mickey ears with "First Haircut" on the back, a certificate and a little bag with a lock of you little ones hair.

Sally was 2 years old when we got this done. She was so excited!!  Just to note...they do take walk ups but are often totally booked up so I highly recommend a reservation. If I book your trip, I would be happy to get you a spot reserved. 


We arrived at our reserved time and Sally was in a chair in no time at all.  They gave her a bunch of stickers and a spinning and light up Minnie toy to play with. 


Just a quick snip snip and she was all done. 


Sally did awesome and was so excited to put on her Mickey ears. 







A Few Tips

  • Call and get a reservation if you can (call 407-939-7529 up to 180 days ahead). If no reservations are available, don’t let that scare you off. It is definitely worth trying to walk-in even if they tell you otherwise on the phone.
  • If you do walk-in and have to wait your turn, you can go and play in the park while you “wait.”
  • Don’t worry about your child being too little for a haircut. As long as they have hair to cut, go for it. They are wonderful with even the littlest of children.
  • If you do the first haircut package, it will come with Mickey ears, so you can save the cost of buying other ones in the park.
  • They will dampen hair with water if needed, but they do not shampoo prior to clipping, so make sure to show up with clean hair.
  • The appointment itself is quick - probably 15-30 minutes in total. It is not going to take a huge portion of your day.
  • Don’t forget the camera and to take before and after pictures.

Shop Spotlight: Scooter Bug Boutique



Having a stroller at Disney is VERY important if you have kids under age 8. Even the older ones get tired and need a break. You can bring your stroller from home or rent them beforehand through Kingdom Strollers

See how many strollers there are?!


Today I want to introduce you to a great etsy shop, Scooter Bug Boutique. They make super cute and durable signs for your stroller. So many strollers look alike, so having something with your name on it is very helpful. 

These are some of the sign designs that Scooter Bug Boutique offers.





Here are the signs we have:


I cannot wait to use these next week!! I know they will work perfectly with our stroller and the quality is great!! Thank you Scooter Bug Boutique!!

Shop Spotlight: Preppy Pony Designs

Today I want to share with you a super cute Easy shop. Its called Preppy Pony Designs and they make the cutest Disney shirts. Here are some favorites:

I love that you can get a "pick 4" pack. Its a one stop shop for all your Disney trip needs. 


Of course Preppy Pony also sells individual shirts too. 

Minnie


Snow White


Ariel


Elsa


Sophia the First


They offer some really cute options for your little boys too! Its sometimes hard to find cute Disney shirts for boys. I love the classic look of these. 


Here is the shirt she made for Sally. I paired it with some red/white polka shorties from Matilda Jane. I think they work perfectly with the shirt colors. Now I just need to figure out if I want Sally to wear this outfit to Magic Kingdom or Epcot. Decisions....

The quality of these shirts is great and the design looks fabulous! They also offer custom designs so if you are looking for something and don't see it in the shop, just let them know. Also, although they aren't local to me (Memphis, TN),they are in Nashville. I love supporting Tennessee businesses.
