DA Game Plan with a toddler

[Imagineer5]

Hi! My 2 year old dd and I are staying onsite for 2 nights in august! I obv won't be able to ride gringotts and FJ (I've ridden that before at least) but I plan to do HE a few times, Flight of the Hippogriph, and Ollivanders (did I read there is one in DA Too?). I've only seen vague mentions of the interactive wands, so wondering about that as well - any tips for our time at DA & Hogsmeade? Thank you!

Just a reminder that Flight of the Hippogriff has a 36" height requirement, my 2.5 year old is 35.5 inches so just a reminder to bring her "tall shoes" if she is at all on the small side.

Also, I have found that hiring a caregiver to accompany me in the parks for a couple hours one day of our vacation is very helpful with a young one. The caregiver can accompany ds on age appropriate ride and I can ride a big kid ride of my choosing. ymmv but I have found great people on care.com and can give more specific recomendations if you are interested in that at all (generally find someone that already has an annual pass so you just pay the hourly rate).

No matter what you decide, have a great trip!

Hi! Thanks for the recommendation for care.com - if you know of any that have APs I'd love to see their availability and cost and all that! It would be nice to try to ride Gringotts and FJ along with a few others.

My dd is pretty tall! 37" right now and with cowboy boots on she might just be able to ride seven dwarfs (38") in august! Eek!

Your DD is very tall, my almost 4 year old DS is 36 inches. But I agree try care.com so you can do some of the big rides.
