Haha yes but close enough. Home here at Disney until March 7th.
Our Fall Break is the 3rd weekend in October. That’s the other time we go most often, but usually to Disneyland. It sounds like you’ve been at some fairly busy times, and let’s face it, it’s pretty busy all the time now. I’ve always found Spring Break to be crowded but manageable. Go with a good plan, but don’t hesitate to throw plans out the window and go with the flow if it’s not working out. I can’t tell you how many times we’ve been on the move to one ride and see a 10-15 minute wait somewhere on our way and stop and pick those up. You just never know exactly how everyone else will tour
Thanks! With my elderly in-laws joining us, I know flexibility will be key to everyone having a good time. Everyone got input on fast pass choices, so I know we will be able to at least hit everyone's favorites. I'm trying really hard to not over-plan! Or pack the days too full. I know it will be crowded, I guess I'm more worried about my in-laws being jostled in the crowd. My MIL had knee replacement surgery and my FIL had hip replacement surgery. We definitely will not be in a hurry anywhere, hoping to use the slower pace to soak it all in!
I don’t know how many able bodied people you have going with you, but being flexible can also mean being open to a wheelchair. Disney is strenuous. I have some mild mobility issues due to an ankle I broke 10 years ago. On my last trip, I started having a new medical issue crop up the day we got there. It took my fiancé quite a bit to convince me to get a wheelchair, but it saved our trip. This time I’m bringing my own in case I need it. And if I don’t, we’ll all take turns getting pushed and taking a break. But it really can make a huge difference. Walking isn’t my main issue, it’s standing still for long periods of time.
We won our local NPR station's "free trip to Paris" while 6 months pregnant with our first, and decided to use it rather than try to go with an infant. I wound up wheeling my pregnant wife all over the Louvre in a wheelchair.
You must be close to me (Minnesota)... it was chilly here today too! But we only have 4 days - and even with what looks like pretty chilly temps in Florida, I cannot wit to escape the cold and snow!
Good suggestion with the wheel chair. We have 4 able bodied people that could take turns pushing. The hard part would be convincing either my MIL or FIL that they would need it! I could probably guilt them into it using not ruining the trip for the grandkids!
You could try starting with just one. Let them take turns as they need breaks. I think it was $20/day to rent just a normal wheelchair from Disneyland. But no matter how stoic you are, you have a better time if you aren’t trying to suck it up for the sake of everyone else. As much as I hated the extra strain in him, I had a much better trip once I had a place to get off my feet when I got tired.
. I feel a little bad about kids missing several days of school for our trip on top of this week but nothing to be done.
We leave tomorrow night! I have a million things to do. I'm worried about the rain on Monday and Tuesday.
BUT WHO CARES I'LL BE AT DISNEY TOMORROW NIGHT!
I'm jamming my Pandora Disney Parks play list. I'M COMING TO SEE YOU, MICKEY!!
