Got a Disney trip in the works? \u00a0If you’re traveling with kids, the days can get long and many of the littlest Disney travelers run out of energy (and patience) as the day goes on. \u00a0How do we solve this? Two words – “chill time”, as it’s known in our family. \u00a0One of the habits my family has gotten into during our Disney trips is taking a break during the afternoon. \u00a0This is something we rarely (if ever) skip and, to be honest, it has helped me maintain my sanity some days. \u00a0So, here are three great reasons as to why you definitely should take some “chill time” each day.<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0NAP TIME!<\/strong> \u00a0I have been traveling with babies and\/or a toddler continuously for the last 8 years and nap time is something we never choose to forego – even at Disney. \u00a0Babies and toddlers will welcome the rest, due to all of the stimulation during the day. \u00a0Heck, I’m not even going to lie – I enjoy taking a nap when the opportunity arises! \u00a0Our oldest daughter is now too old for naps so she gets to partake in a little extra of my next reason for taking a break.<\/p>\n![\"jen](\"https:\/\/www.mouseketrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/jen-and-kat-swimming.jpg\")
2. \u00a0POOL TIME!<\/strong> \u00a0As I mentioned before, while the little two are napping, my oldest gets to head to the pool \u00a0with the Mister and once the other kids wake up, they get to have some fun in the sun, too! \u00a0Taking some time to swim in the pool, play in the kiddie area, or play on the playground is a great way to let the kids get some extra energy out – especially the little ones who aren’t big enough to walk yet, but don’t want to sit in the stroller (a.k.a.\u00a0every<\/em>\u00a0toddler\u00a0ever<\/em>).<\/p>\n![\"MK](\"https:\/\/www.mouseketrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/MK-at-night.jpg\")
3. \u00a0NIGHTTIME IN THE PARKS!<\/strong> \u00a0Once the kids have napped, had some resort fun, and we’ve freshened up for the evening – it’s time to hit the parks again! \u00a0Really, the whole process takes maybe 2-3 hours, but boy are we all in such a great mood when we head out for the evening. \u00a0Our family doesn’t deal with late afternoon meltdowns –\u00a0ever<\/i>! \u00a0We miss the crowds and heat of the afternoon, too. \u00a0All of our trips are easy and FUN since we take the time to take a break each day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
