Our Baby’s First Disney Trip at 8 Months Old! — 3 Reasons We Felt Totally at Ease
We completely understand the worry—“Can you really enjoy Disneyland with a 0-year-old?”
The answer is yes! We visited Tokyo Disneyland when our son was just 8 months old, and it turned out to be an amazing experience.
When your baby is still very young, it’s only natural to worry about things like getting around, unexpected weather, or crying spells…
But these three things made all the difference and helped us enjoy the day with peace of mind 😊
🎈 3 Reasons We Felt Comfortable Bringing Our Baby
- There are more baby-friendly attractions than you’d expect
- The Baby Care Center is super convenient and well-equipped
- Cast Members are incredibly kind and always ready to help
In the following sections, we’ll dive into the details—
Which rides can babies enjoy? How should you plan your day?
Let’s take a look together! 🎠
AyaI was honestly a bit nervous about bringing Haru to Disneyland when he was still just a baby…
But once we went, I kept thinking, “I wish I had known all this sooner!” It made everything so much easier ♪
TatsuThere were definitely a few moments when he cried, but having the right info ahead of time really helped us stay calm.
The Baby Care Center was an absolute lifesaver!

🍼 About Strollers
Most attractions have designated stroller parking areas nearby.
However, some locations—like Tom Sawyer Island—aren’t accessible by stroller,
so it’s a good idea to check ahead and plan accordingly.
It’s a Small World and Jungle Cruise are gentle, colorful, and cheerful—
perfect for your baby’s very first attraction experience!
That said, babies who are sensitive to darkness or loud sounds might get startled.
Always keep your baby’s comfort in mind. For example, Alice’s Tea Party spins quickly, so be sure to gauge your baby’s mood and condition before boarding.
💡 Can babies ride “Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast”?
There’s no height requirement, but baby carriers and hip seats are not allowed.
If your baby can sit upright on your lap, they may be allowed to ride.
Be sure to ask a Cast Member for guidance, and decide based on your baby’s comfort level.
Note: Babies who cannot yet hold their head or sit upright are not permitted.
AYAAt first, I was a little worried—“Are there even any rides we can go on with a baby?”
But there were way more than I expected, and that was such a relief!
Haru was completely mesmerized by It’s a Small World ♪
TatsuWhen visiting with a baby, it’s not about what you can’t ride—
it’s about knowing what you can!
We were surprised by how many attractions let us ride while holding him in the baby carrier.
