[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can do the family rides/infant on your lap- type rides such as Small World, win is the pooh, under the sea, etc.

Or just do the shows. Or 
Watch the parades. 
Schedule a character breakfast

Also Tom Sawyer island was a big hit with mine. Spent over an hour there.

So, it is possible, but...
Theproblem is your older kids, if you just do the lame rides and shows, will probably be upset and annoyed they cant do anything more fun especially as they walk through the park and see the potential to have fun on the roller coasters, etc.
"Sorry, larlo and larla, we cant go on the SW Mine Ride"..."[b]But, mommmmmyyyy, please, why not? It looks so cool. This isnt fair," etc.[/b]

And given the cost of DW, I'm not sure i could justify just doing the family rides, TS Island, and shows for $109/person.[/quote]

OMG is that what your kid sounds like?   Sounds like awful bratty behavior!
Older children from larger families like OPs just get used to the fact that it isn't "all about them."   They learn at an early age to understand that sometimes the [b]needs[/b] of their siblings come before their own "wants."[/quote]

I'm the PP with five children.  We have a mom in this thread with ONE child saying she would need a nanny to visit Disney by herself with her child.  The OP has four children. I think most of us with larger families are more confident in our parenting ability, maybe?  My DH deployed when my youngest was six weeks old.  It sucked that he was gone.  But we didn't alter our lives.  We went to Disney at least twice while he was gone.  We also flew to Hawaii to visit my parents. And we did all the normal day to day things people with kids do.  School, church, sports, music, playdates,...  I think the OP could easily handle a few hours at Disney.  [/quote]

PP you quoted here.
I get you.   I have 4 children myself and also a husband who was active duty military when they were young (he's now retired and they are now in middle school-college.)  It never occurred to me to not do things alone with my kids, because there was no alternative!  It's not like I'm going to spend 6+ months completely home bound![/quote]
I’m another one with a very large family (7), husband has deployed. You couldn’t pay me to take them to disney, it’s just not set up easily for larger families, but I’ve done multiple other trips alone so I’m certainly not scared of being alone with them. I just think you’re setting yourself up to be miserable and why do that?[/quote]
