Hello,
We're planning a trip to WDW for either Feb or March of next year. I'd love any advice in terms of making it work with 3 small kids. We'll have a double stroller with a glider board, our kids are generally really easygoing and we'll plan in a rest day or two, time for naps, etc. We'll have a 4 year old, 2 year old (though both will be close to turning 5/3) and an 18 month old when we go. I've been to WDW three times, but not with kids.
We've done Disneyland when the older two were nearly 3/nearly 1 and actually had an awesome experience in terms of rides, etc. We found that our littler one could go in an ERGO carrier and most rides without height restrictions allowed him on that way (Haunted Mansion, Small World, Pirates, maybe even Dumbo but I could be wrong there?) I remember we had to take him out of the carrier and sit him on the seat for the Astro Orbiter but I think that might've been about it. Non- face character interaction was a struggle, but rides were generally great and our kids were super into them.
My major concern and what I'd most love advice on is
-Will we find same rides at WDW will accomodate a baby in a carrier? (Not having to unbuckle, etc made it super convenient!)
-How do you think we'll do in terms of being able to ride together- will we be stuck with lots of rider swap? I'm not concerned about kids being nervous/afraid so much as I am the general ride configurations.
-Will we find rides require 1 adult: 1 child ratio because of our kids ages?
-If it looks like we won't be able to ride at the same time because of having 3 so young, we'd definitely consider bringing along another adult, but wanted to feel it out here to see all of your thoughts! Also, our kids seem to be about average to small on height/size, so I know many things will still be off limits in terms of that. Thank you in advance!
