Tips for a solo parent with two kids

[tarheel]

While I was asking another question about breakfast and leaving for the airport, it got me really thinking about my trip. I will be there Nov2-Nov6th. My husband will be working and most likely only meet us in the evenings, or just Saturday for the full day. My kids aren't little at 10 and 7, but I got a little nervous just now wondering if there are things that might be tricky to do with just three-two kids to the one of me. Does anyone have any pointers for me on things to be prepared for, or do you think I won't run into any problems? I am thinking here of rides that won't fit all of us ect. I realize some cars are just for two, but if the kids can ride together, I can easily ride alone. Thanks for any suggestions.

Unless you have a short 10 year old, I am pretty sure that at the very least the 10 year old will be able to ride by her/his self, and the 7 year old with you. However, the cut off age for riding by yourself (on rides where they have this) is frequently 7 (our oldest is 6 ... and though tall enough she frequently was not allowed to ride by herself because of age), so on many rides, all of you could ride solo if you wish.

My kids are a year apart, and when they were 7 & 8 they loved riding on the rides together without an adult, and I would ride by myself. We never had a problem, and they would always be smiling ear to ear when my car would arrive after theirs.

I have been going solo since my kids were 6 & 8. Never had any troubles. Most Fantasyland rides fit 3 in one "car." All others I have the oldest sit IN FRONT of me on the ride so I can keep an eye on her. You should have no troubles.

Thanks everyone. I knew I'd be just fine, but I started playing mind games with myself and started worrying. I am so excited for this trip---it can't come soon enough!
