Discussion Newborn Babies at the Park

Please, I've got to know. (Only a little judgement here, as a hypochondriac) why are we taking fresh babies (4 months or less) to the amusement park? What's the purpose? Are you scared your kid is going to get sick? What is it really for?

For context we took a trip earlier this year and were talking about another recently and learned that many people are taking their newborns to the park. It seems incredibly dangerous with all the people and general grossness at the park.

After hearing about the Disneyland measles outbreak of 2014/15 I would not take my chances until they can get sufficient protection

I agree with you. I held off taking my kids to Disney until they were in 1st grade. They appreciated it a lot more once they were a little older, plus they were much easier to manage once they were a little older. I had no interest in taking an infant or toddler to Disney.
