Hi everyone,
I have a tentative trip booked for four nights over Labor Day weekend, staying at the Contemporary. My boys will be 7 and 5. Originally, my best friend was going to come and stay while we were there but her plans have changed. This means, if I stick with my trip, I will be solo the whole time.
I've taken my kids to the beach by myself, the zoo, and things like that. However, I've never done an amusement park or flown alone with them.
I'm at the Contemporary and would use only Disney transportation (Magical Express, monoline, buses, etc.). Is this anything here I should be concerned about?
My biggest worry is about the rides. I have two main concerns. How do you handle a ride that one kids wants to go on and the other doesn't? They will both be over 40 inches and I think we'll skip HS. That means the only rides we can't do are EE in AK and Space Mtn in MK. However, what if the youngest doesn't want to do Splash but the oldest does? It's his favorite ride!
Also, are there any rides I will not be able to take both kids on by myself? I'm thinking about Astro Orbiter, for example. Will they let the 7 yo ride in a car by himself and I ride with the 5 yo?
What are your thoughts? Advice welcome
Thanks, Dani
