Leave these at home (if you're staying at SuperVilla)
These are already in the house:
- Mini crib, pack and play, travel crib, and crib sheets
- City Mini jogger stroller
- High chair and children's dinnerware
- Baby bathtub, bottle drying rack and brush
- Baby monitors
- Toys, books, magnetic tiles, costumes
- Puddle jumpers and pool toys
One guest traveling with an 8-month-old and a 5-year-old wrote that they "were able to pack light" because the essentials were there.
Safety at the house
- Built-in baby gates at the top and bottom of the stairs.
- A child safety fence around the pool.
- Outlet covers and room-darkening shades for naps.
Always supervise children near water, fence or not.
Nap-friendly park days
Go early, come back for a nap, head out again in the evening if anyone still has energy. ChampionsGate is about 14 miles from Magic Kingdom, so the midday round trip is realistic. Many families skip the second trip and spend the evening at the pool instead.
Questions people ask
What baby gear do I need to bring to an Orlando vacation rental?
Check what the rental provides first. At SuperVilla, cribs, a stroller, high chair, monitors, baby bath and toys are provided, so you mainly need clothes, swim diapers, sunscreen, medications and comfort items.
Is SuperVilla safe for toddlers?
It has built-in stair gates, a pool safety fence and outlet covers. Adults should still supervise children near the pool.
Can toddlers nap between park visits?
Yes. The house is about 14 miles from Magic Kingdom, so a midday nap back at the house is doable.
