Like many of you, we had not one but two Disney trips cancelled to due COVID (one to DL, another a cruise). We're now scheduled to go in October for my daughter's 7th birthday, assuming we can get park reservations ... if that system is still in place in the fall. This will be our first park trip with our kiddo WITHOUT a stroller.
We booked three nights at the Grand Californian to help reduce the amount of walking we'll be doing. On our arrival day we'll check in, have dinner at the hotel or Downtown Disney, shop, maybe swim (depending on pool hours) and head to bed early. The next day, we'll rope drop.
Our trip goals are to visit BBB (if it's an option - realize it's currently not), plus explore Galaxy's Edge and Avenger's Campus for the first time. Our daughter is tall enough to go on just about everything, aside from the Incredicoaster.
All that said, any pointers on making the first stroller-less trip a success? My husband and I both fully understand we'll need to slow down, take breaks, etc. I'm thinking we'll need to book more sit-down meals to purposely carve out "off feet" time ... and find ways to keep her occupied in the lines (we don't like the idea of giving her much, if any, screen time in the parks). Thanks in advance for the guidance!
