All-day Lockers at IoA and "family seating" on FJ?

[coastgirl]

Two questions from a total Universal newb.

Don't want to have to mess with lockers at each ride but over several hours would like to get at water, dry clothes, etc. Is there a good central(ish) place to rent a larger locker? I think I read that they have in-and-out privileges on the lockers? (I.e., wouldn't have to pay for a new locker every time we want to open it.) Thinking more of IoA than US (totally fixating on WWoHP. )

Forbidden Journey, I've read that you're relatively isolated from fellow riders. It's a 4-seat row, right? Will I be able to, say, hold my 7 yo's hand or reassure her with a smile or word? I think she'll love the ride, but the first time in might be intimidating for her.


Thanks!

All day lockers are at the front of the park. You only pay once per day.

You can hold your child's hand and she will certainly be able to hear you, if she is listening for you.

Here is a picture of the seats...http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=36819762&postcount=208

THat's really helpful, thanks Damo.

So I think the plan will be to find a couple of fanny packs that will hold camera and maybe a water bottle, cards, and leave any more at the front.

Had to smile "if she is listening for you". The reassurance is probably more important beforehand, once she gets settled she'll probably forget I'm there! ;-)

One thing to look for, which you might not notice right away, is an opening between the seats that lets you see the person next to you. If you sit back in your seat and just turn your head, there's actually a gap that allows you to see the face of the person beside you.

It took us a couple rides before we noticed it, but once we did it sure made talking to each other a lot easier!
