In preparation for our December 5-day trip to disney, we took DS 3.3 to Sesame Place for two days. Day 1 we drove 80 minutes, arrived at 12:30 and had a great day. He was patient for ride lines, smiled, greeted characters, didn't have any problems. Minor meltdown at 4pm when Abby didn't leave the parade line to say hi to him (he needed a nap). Hotel for the night, 10am wakeup, breakfast, park was 2 miles away. From the minute we hit the park, the meltdowns and fits started and didn't stop until we left at 2pm. They'd subside just to have something else trigger him.
This is my first (and only) kid. From your experience, is Day 1 better because it's all new? Is all the stimuli just overwhelming? Or maybe he just had a bad day for other reasons? I brought healthy snacks, made sure he ate and drank often, and he was well rested.
I'm trying to plan out our park day and thought this would help. I'm just more confused now as to when to eat, when to get there, how long to stay at the parks.
