We plan on getting to each park before rd. It’s me, DH, dd3 and dd6. What are your best morning time saving and organizational strategies to get a family out the door super early and super fast?!
This! Everything ready the night before - potty/dress and out the door. Eat and lotion on the movePack your park bag the night before.
Shower kids the night before.
Lay out outfits the night before.
Eat a quick in room breakfast or eat something portable on the way to the bus.
Apply sun tan lotion at the bus stop or waiting for the park to open.
All of this, except we pack our breakfast the night before in our park bag and then eat while waiting at rope drop... helps the kids to kill the time and speeds up things trying to get out the door. And yes we do ziplocks too... they just take that days ziplock to the bathroom and get changed etc.Pack your park bag the night before.

Going to bed early the night before!
Not sure you're saving more than ten seconds to actually put on a clean shirt in the morning- this made me laugh though!
You think when they get older it gets better. Like 10 minutes before we have to get out the door in the morning and ds8 is like a slug! This is basically every morning.You've obviously not met my 6 year old.
He has some executive function challenges and this easily saves him 10 minutes!
Pack outfits in ziplocs for the kids, labeled for each day. That way there's no fuss in the evening getting stuff out, everything can just be grabbed and laid out for the morning and done by any member of the family. Pack your park bag the night before. We like to get ourselves up and ready before we wake the kids up if they're still sleeping, that way we can both move them through without worrying about ourselves.
