How many twin, triplet, quads and more! families are on the DIS?

[triplefigs]

We have DD 19 (TODAY ), DS 16 and fraternal boys age 9. I did dress them alike on our visit when they were 2 because I thought, if we get separated, I can say "he's dressed just like this" as I point to his twin!

happy Birthday to your DD!

I have 2 1/2 yr old twin girls -- going to Disney first time May 17-23.

We will also have the girls dressed alike, tho they don't normally --- like you said, if god forbid one strays from the pack you can point to the other twin and say "she's dressed like this!"

Twins here: never dressed them alike at home or when we travelled to Disney. I didn't even own any matching outfits. They had too many hand-me-downs from their older sibling.

I do have a question for those that dress them alike all the time: what did you do when they were babies and one got spitup or something worse on her outfit, did you then have to change them both even though only one was dirty?

I didn't use a twin stroller at Disney as it was too bulky to manuever. I used two umbrella strollers with my husband pushing one while I pushed the other.

I couldn't resist posting to this thread! We have surviving triplets (GB^i^B) that are almost 3 1/2 and a DS that is 6. We'll be leaving for WDW on May 28th. The entire family wears matching shirts when we go because it makes it SOOOO much easier to find everyone in the crowd. This will be our third trip in a year (getting the most of our annual pass) and the days with matching shirts have been much less hectic that without. I buy cheap tees wholesale and make our own "logo" for the trip with print out iron-ons. The kids love the attention they get with the shirts too. We had their names on the back and DS thought it was pretty cool that Peter Pan knew his name.

We use umbrella strollers with the connector for the two little ones. Easier to collapse to get on the buses and train. We stay off-property in a timeshare so space isn't a problem for us.

As I read this all I could think of was when DS (a triplet) was about 5 he got really mad at his 2 siblings & asked if he could PLEASE be a singleton now.

that is too funny

We have b/g 2 year olds and dd3, dd8, dd10, dd13 and dd15.

We do disney twice a year (gotta love those annual passes) and Disney Magic cruise 1-2 times a year. Love their kids programming.

Going back in June and the little ones can't wait. They watch the vacation planning dvd and disney cruise planning dvd all the time. Their favorite hotel is animal kingdom lodge but we are spending a few days at the nick hotel this time because dd3 is dora obsessed.

This will be our first trip with NO diapers as twinkies are potty trained and life is going to be so good lugging around much smaller backpack!!

I am new to posting on the family board but I have a DD age 3 and DD and DS are 10 months old (as of yesterday). we're going to WDW in September, from the 11th-23rd. We're planning on ten park days and maybe taking that Saturday off to hang around the resort and visit Celebration (where we'd eventually like to live). But it will depend because if that is the only night with Spectro & wishes, that will be our priority. I'm curious, for those of you with 3 or more who are "stroller aged" how did you handle that. Did you take buses at all or drive to the parks? DD3 still likes her stroller so we're planning on having to bring it. Both DH and I hate pushing an umbrella stroller so it will probably be a regular stroller plus the Graco double. Any advice on buses? Should we just make our lives easier and drive? Any advice would be great, DD3 has been once before, when she was 22 months but this is our first time with all three! Thanks in advance!

We went at the beginning of this month with 10 month old triplets. We have a Maclaren Twin Traveller and a Maclaren Techno XT. We thought that is was much easier to drive. We pulled up to the front of the parking area and unloaded then the driver went and parked and met us at the park entrance. By doing this, we did not have to fold the strollers to get on the trams. We didn't have to fold the strollers on the ferry boat or the monorail. So once we put the boys in their strollers, we got them comfortable, loaded the stuff in the baskets and we were set to go! Driving also allowed us the freedom of leaving at park close without having to wait forever on a bus. Parking is free for resort guests, so we took advantage of it Good luck and have fun!

We found it easier to drive to Ak, and I would say any others that you could walk from the parking lot. We stayed at BWV and walked to EPCOT and MGM. We found that it was easier to take the bus to MK, becasue once you park, you usually still take a tram and then the boat or monorail. It was alot of loading and unloading. Is there any other adults going with you
ETA just read Dsnygirl response about MK and that sounds like a great plan

We've done this exact thing!!

Twin DD's here!! Age 8 (going on 16!)!!

We usually dress them alike so that they are easily spotted! On our last trip when they were 6, we thought we could go without the stroller, but after about 3 hours of walking, they asked to ride!! We found it was much easier for us to have them in a stroller.

We're not sure how they are going to handle it this year. They are pretty petite for their age, so they will still fit in a double stroller. I don't know why they can run the whole soccer field in a game, but get tired at WDW!

I have 6 yr old (as of last Saturday) bg twins. We will be going to Disney for Christmas. I'm a single parent now, so I'm a little nervous, but we are going anyway!!

 

[Disney Pal]

We have 2 year old triplet girls and are planning on going to Disney this Halloween. And yes we are dressing them alike because I feel we won't be able to do it when they're older and they look so gosh darn cute!

How small do the maclarens fold up? how is the basket situation? We may be looking at needing new stroller(s) and are considering the Maclarens. i guess a trip to Babies R Us to try them all out is in order but it's always nice to hear from someone with real life experience with the strollers. The ones we have are in great shape, the only problem is that we'll be driving and none of them fold small. We want to try to bring our Honda CR-V instead of our van, if all the carseats and boosters fit since it's only got 20,000 miles on it and our van has 120,000. LOL, so if it folds small that may be a major selling point. Also, is it easy to push? DH is 6'4 and I'm 5'4 so that's a concern too. Thanks so much!

Hey. The Maclaren fold very down very small especially when compared to the Ped Triple Stroller and the other doubles. You can fold them with one hand....which helps when you have a baby in the other. They push very very well. Very smooth, light, and balanced. At times our four year old will ride in one seat with an infant in the other seat and the stroller still glides evenly and smooth. The Techno XT (single) will flip if you take the baby out and have bags hanging on the back....the double will not. The height on the strollers are great. The single's handle extend, but both strollers can be comfortably pushed my someone well over 6'. They recline fully and have little legrests that the boys seem to enjoy. The basket are fairly small, but it really wasn't a problem for us. We used an open top tote bag to put diapers/wipes/food, etc. It fit perfectly down into the basket. On the back of the canopy their is a velcro puch and a mesh pouch. We stored wallets, cell phones, and even bottles in these. We absolutely love the Maclaren strollers. We got them off of E-Bay, both New in the box. The Techno XT was $200.00 and the Twin Traveller was $275.00, that includes shipping. So we saved almost $200.00 by getting them off ebay. Good luck stroller shopping! We have decided that with 3 babies, we needed the most compact stroller, so we definitely shopped around!
