Planning a Disney vacation with your baby or toddler? Our Disney World Baby Care Center guide will answer all of your questions!
Our Disney World Baby Care Center guide is a must if you’re heading to the most magical place on earth with your little one! The Baby Care Centers at Walt Disney World are truly special! They are quiet places where parents and loved ones can go for feedings, diaper changes, or a break from the hustle and bustle. Located within each of the four Walt Disney World theme parks, they are convenient and easy pit stops every parent needs to know about when visiting the parks!
Disney World Baby Care Center 101
The baby care centers are a free amenity accessible to all theme park guests. Families can find spaces to feed, change, or rest their little ones inside each Disney World Baby Care Center. While intended for those with babies and toddlers, the centers can also be utilized by families with older children who may have sensory needs.
Guests can expect the following within each Baby Care Center:
- Fully staffed with Disney Cast Members
- Changing tables
- Private nursing rooms with rocking chairs
- Feeding areas with highchairs
- Kitchen with sinks and microwaves
- Washroom facilities
Note that each facility may vary slightly in terms of quantities or equipment. For example, guests may also find bottle warmers, filtered water, padded changing tables, and more. Additionally, within each Disney World Baby Care Center is an on-site store that sells a host of baby-related supplies. Items available to purchase include formula, bibs, baby food and snacks, pacifiers, sunscreen, diapers, wipes, and clothing.

Where Are The Disney World Baby Care Center?
A Disney World Baby Care Center is located inside each of the four Walt Disney World theme parks (and Disneyland too!). There is one center per theme park. These centers can be located via park maps, the My Disney Experience app, and park signage. You can also ask a Cast Member for directions!
- In the other areas of the Walt Disney World resort (e.g., Disney Springs, waterparks Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach, and the various Disney resorts), guests with babies and toddlers can use changing tables in many of the restrooms.
Magic Kingdom
At Magic Kingdom, the Disney Baby Care Center is conveniently tucked off Main Street, adjacent to the first aid center. Once you get to the end of Main Street, you will want to take a left and look for the Baby Care Center between restaurants Casey’s Corner and The Crystal Palace.
- This is our personal favorite, with its sweet Alice in Wonderland theme—so be sure to take your time perusing the knickknacks and decorations!
- It is also the most recently updated of the four facilities.
Epcot
The Baby Care Center at EPCOT is (in our opinion) the trickiest to find. Guests will want to head towards Worlds Showcase via the Test Track area. Before you are almost to Mexico, there is a bridge with a gray building called the Odyssey Pavilion. The Baby Care Center is on the back side of this building, near the restrooms.
- This is the largest of Walt Disney World’s four Baby Care Centers.
- Frequent Disney goers will recognize this space as a makeshift pop-up area for events like Food & Wine, Festival of the Arts, and Flower & Garden.
Animal Kingdom
When visiting Animal Kingdom, the Baby Care center is by Creature Comforts. (Or, as it is more popularly known, Starbucks!) This is to the left of the Tree of Life, before the bridge into Africa. Guests will find the Baby Care Center on the right side of the building.
- Since Starbucks is inside Creature Comforts, be sure to grab a coffee beforehand!
Hollywood Studios
Lastly, at Hollywood Studios, the Baby Care Center is located inside the Guest Relations building. Luckily, it is at the park’s front entrance, making it easy to find quickly.
- This is the smallest center, so there may be a wait for a changing table or room. However, you do not need to wait in the Guest Relations line to enter the facility.
- There is a toddler-sized potty within this center.
TIP: If you are a visual person, use Disney’s interactive map (located near the end of the webpage) to get a bird’ s-eye view of each of Walt Disney World’s Baby Care Centers!

What Else Does A Disney World Baby Care Center Provide?
- Baby care centers are the perfect spot to feed and change your baby and an excellent way for your little ones to take a break from the hustle and bustle. The dimly lit atmosphere and seating for adults and toddlers make for a calming pause within jam-packed theme park plans.
- The centers often have quiet activities for toddlers, such as books, puzzles, coloring supplies, or Disney movies. This is super helpful for guests with multiples. Plus, the centers provide outlets and drinking fountains—perfect for charging cellphones and refilling water bottles!
- Additionally, each Disney World Baby Care Center location is near First Aid. For guests who may feel sick or need basic medical attention, the First Aid nurses are there to help. These nurses can provide single dosages of over-the-counter medications, bandages, and other quick remedies.
- The Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios locations are close to posted relief areas for those traveling with service animals. Lastly—and this is good Disney knowledge—a cast member brings children who have gotten lost from their parties to a baby care center.
Disney World Baby Care Center FAQ
- Where can I breastfeed at Walt Disney World?
- Anywhere you feel comfortable! This is because of Florida Public Health Law 383.015, which states: “A mother may breastfeed her baby in any location, public or private, where the mother is otherwise authorized to be, irrespective of whether the nipple of the mother’s breast is uncovered during or incidental to the breastfeeding.” However, if you prefer a more private setting, the nursing rooms inside the Baby Care Centers would be a perfect spot!
- What if my baby’s food/milk/medication needs to be kept cool or warm?
- Guests can bring a small cooler into the theme parks for items needing to be chilled. Conversely, the Baby Care Centers have microwaves and bottle warmers for items needing to be warmed. Do note that Disney only allows small glass containers inside the parks—if possible, try to package these items in another material.
- Is there an age limit at the Disney Baby Care Centers?
- There are no current age restrictions for guests using the Baby Care Centers. This is great for kiddos who need a break from the parks or families with siblings.
Disney’s Baby Care Centers are lovely spaces for little ones to eat, rest, or take a break. They are an excellent way for families to reset before continuing their theme park adventures. Be sure to check them out on your next Disney vacation with your little ones!
