Should we try to do a park?

[megs1313]

Added a day on the front of our trip so my DH could take some business meetings. Should I try to hit a park with 3 kids by myself or is that insane? If we do try a park, which one? TIA!

Looks like only one of yours would be in a stroller. I think it would be fairly easy with the older ones. I would try to hit MK at rope drop, use your FPs late morning, grab some lunch then head back to the resort (you might need a nap!!). Maybe grab a dinner reservation at one of the monorail resorts and watch the fireworks from the beach at the Poly (assuming DH won't have a ticket that day).

If they're 10, 9 and 1, then absolutely. The older 2 will be fine and able to basically care for themselves (eating, walking, bathroom etc.), so that just leaves the 1 baby...I'd absolutely do it and have gone with my 3 kids on my own plenty of times. You guys will have a great time.

You should be fine. It really depends on the age and energy level of the kids but I have faith in you!

like others have said if your children are 10 and 9 and 2 and your older 2 do not need you to help them with every thing they can do rides together with you in the set behind them I do not think the older 2 can do any rides the youngest one can not do so no space mountain since they will not allow you to do in the line with the youngest one and they will not let your kids in line with out you so I would let them know this ahead of time. but I think you could have a good trip for the day I would do MK if they like rides or EPCOT if they are in to shows and people form different cultures, animal kingdom if they are into animals and hollywood if well holly wood is not that great of a park right now so

I thought 7 was how old they needed to be to ride alone?

 

[gap2368]

That might be riding alone with one of the parents going though the line with them. You are not allowed to bring someone to short in the line at all so even if they could go in line it would be by them selfs

 

[tjmw2727]

At those ages definitely ! Sounds like its just a small part of your trip so I would just go with the flow and see what happens!
Your older 2 are old enough to ride alone if your comfortable with that, some rides you can see them most of the time others not at all.

As to which park, for me it would depend on where I am staying and what my kids interests are as well as the crowd predictions for that day -

If the OP's older children are 9 and 10 they most certainly will be allowed in any line they meet the height restriction for and do not need an adult to accompany them. Children under 7 must be accompanied by someone 14 or older.
