Going solo with three kids?

[maedelken]

So my husband has a buisness trip the beginning of June and instead of staying home the crazy idea of going to disney popped in my head. My husband said go for it. So what do you guys think can I do it? Has anyone done this before? My kids are 1, 3, and 5. I would do just about anything to go to Disney.

Wow, I have done it solo many, many times with two and I would say go for it. I guess it depends on how much you go out and do with the kids on a regular basis. If you are use to the park, zoo, playground etc then IMHO its kind of the same thing.

Do you think the 3 and 5yo can sit properly in a slow moving ride with you behind them? If so then I think you should go for it - I LOVE my solo trips.

I would suggest you bring a sling/snugli for the baby and rent a double stroller. This way the kids can take turns and you can wear the baby on rides, in lines and the pavilions where strollers are not allowed.

Plan to take it slow and spend lots of time at the resort in the pool and on the playground. Remember that you will be able to spend 24/7 with the kids having fun without the cooking, cleaning and such so even though your kids are young you can still have fun.
