Waking kids up

[BrianMonk]

On a normal morning getting the kids up (6 & 4) is a slight hassle. It takes about 5-minutes to get them up and another 5-minutes to use the bathroom & get them dressed.

While at Disney do your kids take about the same to get up, does it take longer, or do they jump up like a rocket once they realize where they are going that morning?

I have to think my 6 & 4-year old will be up and ready to go lickity split when at Disney.

Am I wrong in thinking this?

Our two are normally quite pokey in the am...

Not at WDW!

Trouble is getting them into bed!!!

When our DS was younger, he loved getting a Mickey Call in the AM. We always had them call each morning. He would JUMP out of bed for the phone. Now he still gets up well the first few days but starts to lag by the end of the week. WE always let him sleep to the last minute. Just make sure they get to bed at a early time if you want them up early. YOu can't burn the candle at both ends.

By the start of our second week last September, my kids aged 8, 6 and 5 never wanted to get up. A combination of the heat with long days at theme parks took their toll. We'll definetly be running at a more leisurely pace next time!

After the first day it was impossible to get my 3 kids (ages 10, 7, and 3) up! Never seen them so tired in my life! It got to the point I would bribe them to get up, first one dressed gets $2. Just learned to start getting them up earlier so we could leave on time. Bedtime was a snap. They would fall asleep literally in 5 minutes. Have fun!
