Us3 is now Us5!!! HELP!

[Us3]

We're finally going back!! Our last trip was in 2003. We went twice that year with our 4yo dd and it was wonderful! Well, we are now a family of 5 and we are taking dd7, dd2 and dd11mo!! I saw the other post about taking baby, but I have a "want to do it all" 7yo, a "mine" 2yo dd...and an exceptionally sweet 11mo dd. Are we crazy? Any tips on how to keep them all happy? Dh and I selfishly want a moment of relaxation together too. Maybe tips on babysitting? I know they have in room services. Our oldest dd went to the Neverland Club...but if I remember correctly, you must be at least 3 and potty trained to go there.

Thanks for any advice, tips and recommendations to help us enjoy a wonderful family vacation!

Next year we will be in the same boat! DD is 8 and DS is 3 and we have another on the way. The kids clubs are for kids 4 years old and potty trained. Your only option for a babysitter for all 3 would be to use one of the services that come to your room. I have never done that before so can't offer any advice other than to do a search on this board because it has been talked about alot before. My DD tends to be the more difficult one. She wants to do it all and buy it all!! So what we do is write down our itinerary for the day so she knows what we are doing and when. Then we give her Disney Dollars everyday. About $10 a day. It is hers to spend how ever she wants and it stops the "I want thats" and "can I have that". Then the most important thing is to recognize when the kids are getting tired before they start to loose it! Then have some down time so you all can rejuvinate and be ready for the rest of the day.
