[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Odd responses, OP. Assuming you are a competent parent, it's totally doable.  We are from Florida. I took my kids to Disney all the time by myself. We have five.  Just keep expectations reasonable. It's not like your older kids are going to be riding the roller coasters.  Plan to get to the park when it opens.  Ride a few rides. Head back to the hotel and let the kids rest. Swim in the pool.  Then, when your DH gets free, maybe go back to the park for a couple of hours in the evening.  Get a double stroller so that you can switch the older kids in and out.  It's really not that hard!  You certainly don't need "help". Have fun! [/quote]

Her oldest is 8. She has a baby who is going to need diaper changes and feeding. The two middle kids are young enough to wander off. If you go "all the time," then you're in a familiar place, where I imagine you went with first one child, then two, then three, etc.. She isn't even going to know what to plan for, and her kids are going to make it hard for her to stop to read a map or spend time figuring out things on her phone.[/quote]

Disney has created this myth that visiting the parks requires all kinds of advanced planning and purchasing.  Like it's some kind of magical place where reality is suspended.  It's not.  It's an amusement park.  That's it. You don't have to do everything in the park. She could easily focus on just one small section. Her kids are young enough that they'll have a blast even if they don't see the whole park.  My oldest was 10 when my youngest was born so I certainly understand the challenges. But really, with managed expectations, it won't be that difficult.   [/quote]
