Doing both in one day w/ 3 kids?

[ajwomic]

We want to hit some highlights with the kids on Monday,May 7 before my husbands conference starts and wondered if we could do the following in one day? Also, if doing both, which should we start with? And we are onsite, so we will have FOTL.


IOA-

The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man® -Baby Swap

Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges® -Baby Swap
Me Ship, the Olive

Jurassic Park River Adventure® -Baby Swap
Camp Juassic
Flying Unicorn


The Cat In The Hat™
Caro-seuaesl
If I ran the zoo
One Fish, Two Fish


US

Shrek 4-DTM
MEN IN BLACKTM Alien AttackTM -Baby Swap
E.T. Adventure®
Jaws®
Barney
Curious George
Woody
Fivel



Lastly, should we save the play areas for last? And how long a walk from IOA to entrance of US??
Thanks!

Yeah, I think you guys can totally do all that in one day...especially with FOTL. It would also help to get the park early, like right at opening. It seems that the crowds don't start showing up until about 10 or 11. If I were you, I'd probably go to IOA first. Since it has some of the bigger rides, it may get a little more crowded than US. (But that may not always be the case.)

Regarding the play areas: I think it's safe to save them for last. Since there is technically no line to play there, it wouldn't really matter when you go. But they are really fun - your kids will love them. Our son is 7 and he still loves to play at Curious George, Fievel, and If I Ran the Zoo!!!

The walk from US to IOA is only about 5 minutes. I'd say the distance is only about 300 yards.

You guys are going to have a blast!!! Hope this info helps!

early may usually are low crowds.
you are staying on site, will have the fotl so no worries for you

i see you list baby swap on your list.
do you have littles or is it a height issue for them?

you might want to do the open areas/playground / seussland first if you have littles. the later in the day they might get a bad case of sunburn. you can do the indoor attractions in the afternoon then.


don't forget the sunscreen.

have a great trip!

We have a 7 year old, 5 year old, and one that will turn 2 2 weeks after our trip. Thats why we will do baby swap.

Thats a lot to cover with 3 little ones. Do what you really want first in case you dont get to it all. Have a great trip! Kids have a way of changing our schedules. Look at the pretty colors and not wanting to leave an area when you want them to. If you do it at their pace you will all have more fun.
