Okay, so I mentioned this in the Carsland thread, but I really am not sure whether I should do it. I went to Disneyland in July 2010 with my parents and kids and had an absolute blast. I got back from Afghanistan in December and took just my kids to WDW in February and also had a blast, but it was a bit stressful trying to make the trip really awesome for the kids.
On 29 June my parents and my sister will be driving down from Seattle with her kids, stopping at my place to spend the night before driving to DLR on the 30th. They'll be in the parks for 5 days, coming back on the 6th. My mom has mentioned that she'd like me to join them if I can swing it. My kids will be visiting their dad's family and I probably can make the finances work. I know Carsland will have just opened and it may be a madhouse down there, but I won't have to keep up with my kids, and my sister can handle her own. Do I say screw it and go? Will my kids ever forgive me for going without them? Will I have a great time on my own if I ditch the family for a day or so? Will the crowd levels make it impossible to get on Space Mountain?
I'm taking my oldest to either NYC or DLR in October (mom and daughter birthday trip, she can't make up her mind yet), and youngest to WDW next March. Will I overload myself on Disney? Is that possible?
