Thinking of getting WDW annual passes for wifey and myself for Xmas. We have a 3 month old baby girl we'd be bringing most of the time, but obviously just to enjoy each other and not so much for her experience (Which will be nothing).
Money isn't a huge deciding factor but it is still a significant sum to spend for just us since the baby won't enjoy any of it. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has attempted something similar and has any insight on a baby at Disney.
Thanks for the replies fellas.
To clarify, I know damn well she won't enjoy Disney until about 3. I was mostly looking for any possible negatives to having a young one in the park. Like lack of sit down spots in shade, long lines for changing tables, etc.

I never used the changing tables. I usually change my son's diaper in his stroller (which lays back) or a bench (where I have a diaper changing mat). The only really issue I had was when he was younger and taking naps, people were loud and it would wake him up. Can't do anything about that but when he's only been sleeping for like 30 minutes it results in him being a bit more cranky. Also, when the weather was hot, it wasn't fun for us cuz we'd be all sweaty and hot.
An option you can do is buy a 1 day pass and see how it goes. If it goes well, I believe you can use that money you used on the 1 day pass and apply it towards the AP. If it doesn't go well, you have your answer.
UPGRADES: A Guest wishing to upgrade to a Passport from another form of eligible Theme Park admission media must upgrade on the same day in which the original form of Theme Park admission media is valid. A Guest who chooses to upgrade to a Passport from another form of eligible Theme Park admission media must choose a Passport of equal or greater value than the original Theme Park admission media retail price, and the difference in prices shall be due on the day of the upgrade. If an upgrade to a Passport is made from a multi-day ticket, the Passport will be backdated to begin on the first day that such ticket was used; if an upgrade to a Passport is made from a lower level Passport, the new Passport will have the same expiration date as the original Passport. Each Guest wishing to upgrade his/her ticket media to a Passport must be present at the time of the upgrade transaction. Fully used ticket media, complimentary ticket media (except for certain promotional tickets) and ticket media stating its ineligibility for an upgrade may not be upgraded to a Passport. Upgrades are subject to Passport availability. Downgrades are not allowed.
Disneyland Resort Testing Preferred Parking
From now to mid-January, a preferred parking test will take place at the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure. The pilot will provide Guests the ability to park closer to the elevators and escalators on floors 2-6. Guests can purchase his option for $35 instead of the normal charge of $17. Annual Passholders that have parking included with their pass can pay the $17 difference.
This test follows the roll-out of preferred parking at Walt Disney World where guests can park in areas closest to the entrance of the four theme parks for an extra charge of $15 over the normal rate of $20.
The charging lockers were removed not too long ago, but have now been replaced by Fuel Rod portable charger to-go machines. They cost $30, come filled with power and can be swapped endlessly with replacement chargers at any Fuel Rod machine.
Starting Nov. 18, Disneyland Resort Guests may purchase portable charging batteries that help ensure they capture those memories all day long.
Guests have unlimited swapping ability (trade a depleted portable battery for a fully charged one!) at kiosks located at 10 select Disneyland Resort locations:
Disneyland Park: Main Street Locker Rental & Storage, Starcade (near ATM), “it’s a small world” Toy Shop, Hungry Bear (lower level)
Disney California Adventure Park: Kingswell Camera, Treasures in Paradise
Downtown Disney District: ESPN Zone
Disneyland Hotel: Outside Business Center (Fantasy Tower)
Disney’s Grand Californian Resort & Spa: Convention Area
Paradise Pier Hotel: Hotel Lobby Area
Each portable charging battery set costs $30 and comes with the following:
One (1) portable charging battery
One (1) 6” USB Type-A to micro-USB cable (for most Android devices)
One (1) Apple 30-pin to USB cable (for iPod, iPhone Gen 1-4)
One (1) Apple Lightning to USB cable (for iPhone Gen 5)
This would work very well for DL since it's main visitors are APs.

I have an AP, I wouldn't pay $17 to park up front.
I walk and eat a ton when I go to the parks, so walking is always good.
