If you’ve ever traveled to Walt Disney World with a baby, you know it changes almost everything about your planning process. It also comes with the most special memories and new-found Disney favorites. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love Disney’s Baby Care Centers! They’re one of the best-kept secrets and I’m here to let you in on it. So, let’s take a look at each of Disney World’s locations and rank them.
4. Disney’s Hollywood Studios
This is the smallest of Disney World’s locations and is tucked inside the same location as Guest Services at the very front of the park. This usually means awkwardly cutting through the Guest Services line. There is also often a line for the changing tables and this Baby Care Center lacks much of an area to sit and feed your little one. The one pro of this location is the toddler-sized potty for those little ones braving the world of potty-training.
3. EPCOT
Located beside the Odyssey Pavilion and near the entrance to World Showcase, this location is likely the largest. There is a large seating area with tables and chairs so your family can take a break, eat a snack, charge your devices, and refill your water bottles. There is also another, smaller room with Disney movies playing to occupy older siblings or for everyone to enjoy. Maybe the nicest feature, this Baby Care Center offers the most restrooms for little ones and their families.
Tucked away to the right of Creature Comforts, aka Starbucks, and right before the bridge to Africa, this location offers all the highlights of the other locations. It also seems to be one of the most under-utilized of the other parks. My favorite feature of this Baby Care Center is the large activity room with tables, chairs, and plenty of seating for the whole family. There is a TV with Disney movies as well as coloring pages and snacks for purchase. For this reason, this location seems the most toddler-friendly. This would be a great location for young families to enjoy their Starbucks while also taking care of diaper changes and feedings. The only con of this location is the small changing tables. The other three locations feature large padded changing tables which make it easier to have your diaper bag easily accessible on the changing table.
1. Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom’s Baby Care Center is the most recently updated and features adorable Alice in Wonderland theming. While this Baby Care is not as large as EPCOT or Animal Kingdom’s location, it has everything you need, including the same number of changing tables, bottle warmers, filtered water, a private bathroom, a nursing room, and baby supplies for purchase. To match the theming, Alice and Wonderland plays on a loop and there are seats and building blocks for littles to take a break. This is likely the busiest location, potentially thanks to its very convenient location. However, I have never had to wait for a changing table and it is always well-staffed with Cast Members. You can find this incredible Baby Care Center between Casey’s Corner and The Crystal Palace.
