We went to Disney at the beginning of January with my 4 month old and just under 2 year old. I breastfed everywhere in Disney with no problem (discreetly). She didn't catch RSV and we had an easy time of it.
However, we have been in the park where they've both come down with strep throat.
I asked my best friend who does have twins-easy birth, full term, she had no problem bouncing back-in other words, the best of all worlds, if she would have done Disney when they were three months old.
She says she would have done it at a not busy time if she had lots of help with her.
She says she thinks it would have been tough to go with them from 10 months to 4 years old because they're much more demanding at that age. 3 months, she felt, were basically lumps that slept a lot and could be toted around. Older than 4 and they have some good reasoning skills and could be easier managed in the parks.
I think the OP will have a much better idea of where she's at once she has the babies, and I don't think it was helpful for everyone to chime in with their baby horror stories--you NEVER tell a pregnant women those things, what's wrong with you all???

It is time to let this one go, since the op has never responded. But that said: to the moms of singles out there having a fit, you can not imagine what it is to have twins. This I know from experience. I had 3 single births and when they told me I was having twins, I thought no sweat-- I already have 3 girls, what more do I need to know. I was put to bed for 3 months, had a 1st time c-section, and was totally exhaused. Twins are so, so neat---but they are major work. I was up all the time until I got them both sleeping and eating at the same hours, then I had to feed, diaper and get 2 babies settled(plus take care of the other kids). Just to go anywhere is a juggling lesson(I did most things myself, without any help). And not to scare a pregnant woman, but with twins the doctors take special care, which means more appointments, sonograms, and tests. Then the peds, did caution us about RSV, for some reason it shows up more in twins. So not to knock single moms(I was one 3 times), but I now say, I don't know how moms of triplets can do it!
Whoa, wait a minute, I just wanted to explain what it is like having twins, I didn't want anyone to think their opinion about babies in Dis, wasn't important(like the beattyfamily) I was just trying to explain why twins were different. And to Disneyrsh, who wanted the horror stories stopped, I was trying to show why so many with twins, had different problems, you do have to be extra careful. Don't want to start a debate about who knows more--single or double moms---I have been both! Sorry.......
