We will be in the parks June 12-17 (1 day break in there).
I will have my whole family of 11, which is myself, dh, and kids aged 25, 22, 21, 18, 16, 11, 11, 8, and 8.
The situation is this:
The older 3 are only here for the first 2 park days (DL then DCA, no hoppers) and plan to keep this a family day for most of the DL day but love thrill rides. The college kids are happy to help the littles get their first taste of Disney, but it won’t last all day.
My two 8 yr olds are nervous about rides.
What is the best order to hit a bunch of rides in the first hour while keeping everyone happy and NOT overdoing it for the first few rides. My youngest son is sensitive to loud noises, fast movements, and heights. My youngest daughter does better but needs a person able to touch her (sit with or hand hold, something reassuring)
I think Peter Pan would be great for both since while it flies, you don’t really experience the nervousness of falling. But the waits get long so quickly that it will rankle the older kids who want to be maximizing rides.
Any suggestions?
My ultimate hope is that they will get used to rides and be open for more exciting things as the days go on.
Also: first visit for the 4 youngest.
Thanks!
