Should I take my 1 year old to Disney?

One of the best parts about bringing a baby to Disneyland is that they are free through 2 years old. So you'll want to take advantage of having a baby or 2-year-old in the park. You can expect to move a little slower with a baby or toddler, but you can also experience boundless joy in the simplest experiences.
