We leave to Disney this coming Sunday. My sister and MIL have offered to stay with my 7 month DD so I can relax a bit and enjoy the trip with my other 2 girls who are 3 and 6yrs.
It would be an easier trip but I just can't imagine being without her for a whole week.

For people who have been there with babies, is it hard. I'm also pumping so I would have to take frozen milk since I'm not making enough for the day. She also only drinks from the bottle, so I would have to find a place to defrost and feed her.

What would you do?

I would take her. It is a family trip. Have fun!

I took my five month old and she was a pita on the trip, but previously I had take my 10 month old son and he was fabulous.

Personally I would take her because I don't have he heart to leave my children behind. At 7 months old the baby's face will light up for some aspects of disney.

Still I would bring a good comfy stroller for naps even if its a bit bulky to get on transportation so that while the baby is sleeping the two older children can still enjoy their day.

I took my DS at 10.5 months. It was easy. Babies are pretty easy to travel with when they are limited with their mobility.

Plus I don;t think I could take half my family on a vaction and not take the entire group.

Disney is so family friendly. They have areas where you can heat food etc.

We were just there in May with my then 2 yr old and 7 month old...and the baby was GREAT! You don't realize that it's actually easier, yes easier, to travel with a baby who still sits and sleeps in the stroller! Haha we are going back September 8th and my parents offered to keep the baby for the week so we can go and enjoy ourselves ( my 3 yr old now got hurt on the waterslides of our hotel the first night we were there, so we weren't able to do everything we wanted that trip)! I thanked them but said there was NO WAY I was leaving her home and being away from her for that long!
Bring the baby...you will be fine and you will also get amazing pics! You'd be upset if the baby wasn't in them! I plan on using some for Christmas card pics also!

I think that's a long time to be away from a 7 month old. Disney is kid-friendly and it is a family trip. I'd take all 3 kids.

Re: Please help me decide

i would probably leave her but i am also left my DD when she was 1.5 to go to Puerto rico with my DH for 7 days i would have had no problem doing it at 7 months either.

While i know disney is a kid friendly place the reason why i would be more incline to leave her is because i am a big kid and i would want to go on all the rides i could if she was with me who would stay with her when i went on the rides, it wouldnt be fair to ask DH to stay behing. Also at 7 month she is not going to remember anything about the place and i no matter what it def. has to be easier to not have to pack for a 7 month old

We took my 6 month old last year and it was great! He had a blast.

There were a few things he couldn't go on but, most of the things he was able to do.
