Lurker Does a Trip Report

So in the spirit of encouraging Lurkers to come out of their shell, thought I’d do my best at a live trip report.

Trip Details: Me, DH, DS9, DS7, and DD5 from 1/28-2/2 staying at Poly

We took the kids in May 2021 for the first time to “celebrate” all 5 of us getting Covid from daycare in Feb 2021. That was a magical first trip with the complete lack of crowds. The boys might have a bit of a shock at the crowds.

Kids were super excited to wake up in the middle of the night and head to DISNEY!

Adorable! Have the best trip! Random practical question…did you decide stroller or no stroller?

We did decide to get a stroller. My daughter will still have moments where she just gets too tired and given all the walking wanted to play it safe. I also wanted water bottle and snack storage.

I’ll let you know if it ends up being worth it. (I made peace with the fact it may end up sitting at the hotel if things go well.)

Phew, :sweat_smile: it will :100: be worth it. My kids were 5 and 7 when we first went and I was grateful to have it. Even the 7 yo looked at it longingly at times!

One of us! One of us!

Hope you have a great trip! I just got home Thursday and the parks were extremely light on crowds all week.

I don’t think you will regret the stroller. We used a double with a 5 &7 year old and it helped so much in the crowds. No fear of losing the kids! Plus they could handle the walking so much better with the break in the stroller. We frequently parked in a land, explored that area and then came back to the stroller when we were done, instead of taking it and parking outside every ride. It worked great!

Adorable photo of your kids. That’s a such a great age to take them to WDW for character M&G.

100% think this was the right choice!! Our first trip my four kids were 7 and under and we had two double strollers. Pretty sure everyone on the buses hated us but they were worth it!

I’m excited to follow along! LOVE the Poly!!

Those three look like such characters! Love that they’ve all got backpacks. :sunglasses:

The person that invents a non-stroller stuff carrier for theme parks, et al, could maybe retire to Florida, possibly, and afford an annual pass on the profits, perhaps. :smile:

Thanks for posting! Looking forward to following along! :blush:
