Hi everyone!
I could use some advice on my upcoming trip to Dl! We are headed over Dec 5-14- it's a short flight (1 1/2 hours) and at this time we are planning on staying at BWPPI. This will be year 3 of an annual Dec trip! I will be going with my kids DS-2 and DD-9. Here is the problem- every year prior I've gone with both DH and my mom to help with the kids- this year it will be just me (mom has other travel plans and DH just started a new job). I thought about skipping this trip but in reality I look forward to it all year and the kids and I would be soooo sad if we missed it! However, while the start of Dec isn't "prime" season yet, its busy and I have 1 kid that meets all the height requirements but may not feel comfortable going solo on rides (she's pretty shy) and 1 kid who is 2 so meets no height requirements and no other adults with me! I could really use words of advice (and encouragement!!!) on how to navigate the park this year (we will have 5 day park hoppers). I'm super bummed that I won't be able to do any of the height required rides (9 year old is not old enough to watch 2 year old while I hop on), but not as bummed as I would be if we didn't go at all. Any ideas on how to encourage a super shy child to do single rider so she doesn't miss out? Any tips or touring plan ideas on what to do, what order, etc? I'm excited to go but SO nervous to do 9 days solo with 2 kids plus a busy park and dealing with the airports!! Ack!! Tia!!
