My family of 4 (hubby, myself, 9 yr old daughter, and 2yr old son) planning a trip in June. We are flying to Orlando and our biggest plans are a full day at Seaworld and a full day at BG (both are FIRST TIME experiences).
Regarding Seaworld, it looks like our biggest priorities are the shows, feeding experiences, and then whatever else we can fit in between. We are trying to be sure we make it as easy as possible with our 2 year old so we have some questions...
- One of my biggest questions is should we bring our umbrella stroller that is small, can fold up and be carried with us during the shows, and has a small net pouch on the back to hold a couple things... or should we take our medium size stroller that isn't as small and portable but has cup holders, a big underneath compartment to hold stuff and can recline when my son (inevitably) falls asleep at some point in the day??
- what do people with medium size strollers do with them during shows and dolphin/manta/etc feedings? (Is there a safe place to park them without fear of getting it stolen?)
- My son also happens to have a peanut allergy.. while we are considering doing the All Day Dining and being very careful about what we give him, we think it would save a lot of risk to bring him a bunch of snacks so we aren't having to give him too much Park food... how lenient do you think they will be with us on snacks?
- what are the must see shows and (cheap - not behind the scenes) feedings/encounters that would be entertaining for a 2year old and 9 year old?
- Are there any rides we can all do together?
- is there any other advice for surviving the day with a young child? Must brings? Things we shouldn't bother bringing?
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you in advance!
