So we've been to the parks more than ever this year and my kids, who are 9 and 10 are now very familiar with the parks. We let them lead the way while navigating from attraction to attraction and have started letting them go on a few nearby attractions while we sit down and enjoy a snack or finish a meal at a nearby restaurant. This new found freedom has led to them pushing for more.
My kids are well behaved, know the parks and I feel they are very safe, but I still think they are a bit too young. To be honest my biggest hold up is they are both known for leaving things like backpacks and pin lanyards on ride vehicles and I don't trust them to not lose a phone or something else. We've told them that when they're 11 and 12 we can start turning them loose for an hour or two at a time, but I'm starting to think we can move that up a bit.
I know this is highly dependent on the kids involved, but when did you start giving your kids more freedom in the parks?
