Best places for a crawler/new walker to stretch her legs?

AllieBee · 07-20-2009, 03:26 PM

Sorry to be a mad-poster, I've got lots of questions!

We are heading to WDW the last week of October. Our younger daughter will be 10 months old, she's already crawling and I imagine she'll be pulling up by our trip. She certainly won't be too happy sitting in a stroller or being carried for an entire day. Even if we go back to our rental home for the afternoon, she will still need a place to stretch her legs during the time we are in the parks.

Can you help me figure out where some good spots are in each park for a baby to stretch out and get out of a stroller or grownup's arms?

Thanks so much!

Pooh's playful spot in the Magic Kingdom would be a good area... the whole thing has that soft safety surface and there are a few little fountains to play in as well. The only thing is that it could potentially get pretty busy at times... although anytime I've gone its been pretty calm. Actually there are a couple of kid play areas that have that safey surface... Donald's Boat in Toontown has it as well and is also a water play area. umm... the Honey I shrunk the kids movie set play place at the studios (although this has always been very busy when i've gone and you would have to stay pretty glued to your child). At Epcot I was thinking maybe outside of the Imagination Pavillion... there are jumping fountains that are lots of fun for kids to watch and chase, and its usually pretty empty there so it might be a good spot to let the kids stretch. I can't think of anything at Animal Kingdom off the top of my head hm...

Oh, there are also baby care centres with baby toys and supplies and rocking chairs... if you need an inside (probably air conditioned place) to let the little one have some space to stretch.

AK also has the Boneyard that is padded with some toddle play areas. Innoventions at Epcot also has some not so crowded areas to roam.
