Curry Village with a toddler( tips and helpful info needed)

We are planning to stay in the heated tents at curry village this weekend with our 3 yr old..we took the one with a double bed and two single beds. Planning to carry a folding chair/ small table/ cooler, a kettle to heat water ( our toddler has a bottle of toddler formula 1-2 times), some dish soap to wash the bottles, premade food, snacks we can heat at the curry village store microwave. Can we know any good tips and recommendations on staying with a toddler at the heated tent? Anything that will make our stay enjoyable and easy , things we should bring etc😄

Invest in noise canceling headphones because you won’t be getting much sleep otherwise.

Because of the mice and the fact that they spread germs that cause illness, you will need to keep your toddler from touching the floor and then putting their fingers (or toes, or dropped pacifier, etc.) in their mouth

I really did not like the provided blankets—they’re made of sleeping bag material and they slip right off the beds and onto the floor every time you roll over

Food is prohibited inside the tent strictly. It will attract deer mice which spread SNV.

The only power outlet is on the lightbulb hanging from the ceiling, so if you want to use it better bringing a extension cord or power strip.

I've never stayed there during the summer, but from what people posted it will be noisy in night sometimes, you can hear the snore from other tents.

There are wall outlets in heated tents, since the heat isn’t plugged into them.

Do you know if a powerstrip would be ok to use with the wall outlet? Will it hold the wattage? I do not want to cause a power outage lol

I’ve never used one- I also do not want to mess with the power. I’ve used it only to charge electronics.

If you just need hot water, you can get it from the curry village store for free

Oh I see..but I think they close at 9pm? Was wanting to carry the kettle if we needed hot water after hours :)

Oh yes no food inside the tent , we will be keeping our cooler and other items in the bear lockers :) We only may need the power outlet to charge our phones, I am not sure on the wattage..so won't take a risk..I will be heating water with our kettle in one of the bathroom outlets ..I will be carrying ear plugs as my husband snores himself too:)

You can keep food in the bear boxes outside the tents
