I am kinda counting on my MANipulation skillz to get us (my kids and I) what we want out of this vacay. DH has simply dismissed the AK as "just another zoo, and don't we go to one at home all the time?" while everything I'm hearing/reading is telling me our family would love it. A good friend...

Yes, I chose the restaurant hoping it would allow us time to walk through the park ;) . Glad to hear you only have to be in line by 5, that means we might do one other thing besides eat there- not trying to push my luck with cramming a whole bunch in such a limited time.

That sounds amazing!

I would LOVE a whole day at AK! I think the girls would love it, too. The DH? Not so much. Now, after reading about the 5pm closing, I remember why I suggested scheduling for an ADR on arrival: The Dude wanted to "get AK over with" and I remember saying, " well, it looks like it closes earlier...

First-time family trip w/4 girls, ages 8, 6, 4, 4, 2nd wk of Sept. We're driving down, planning to arrive on a Sunday in time for a 2:30pm ADR @ the Tusker House. After a long drive, the kids are usually starving, and I'm sure they'll be eager to meet someone special, so hoping that our plans...

The Great Stroller Debate is now underway... And may not be resolved til we pull off our driveway ;) Possibly my best friend ever, is our baby jogger city mini double, but, not gonna lie, was it AH-mazing to go to the zoo without it for the first time a couple of weeks back?! So much YES! Now...

Great- water bottles are out, then. (Cross off list now... check!) I'm gonna be taking the girls to our zoo this summer for the first time sans stroller. It will be hot and humid, add tons of walking and crowds, and we'll see what they end up carrying, or not. When we go to the zoo, we're there...

Ooh, that sounds like a plan I could get behind! As for best laid plans... they're changing daily, ha! Example: have a 8:45pm at BOG on night 2 thinking we could eat and watch the fireworks on our way out of MK. Came up in conversation today, and The Eldest was crying (as in, "are those...

What a great link! Thank you!

My family ( = myself, DH + 4 DDs, ages 8, 6, 4, 4) will be first-timers in September. Having some concerns about what we (read: I) should carry in our park bags? Have read lots (and LOTS) of great suggestions, but now my list is GINORMOUS- feels like I won't last more than an hr at a park...

I would LOVE to find some excuse to take a boat ride. Maybe I can sell that as an alt. to getting to/from GF to the DH. Ok... how about THIS: my kids are early risers, so despite our late night at MK, I am thinking of an early morning contingency plan, just in case they're too pumped to "mosey"...

anks, I will pass this along to DH. Nothing more fun than a 45+ min commute with 4 hungry monsters in tow (for that dinner, speally, yikes!). Certainly sounds easier to just drive over if we'Re eager to get back to AoA that night. We anticipated a LOT of walking, so walking to CM from MK should...

I will be a first-timer in September. Just found out no direct rides between resorts, and I am now a little worried about 2 meal reservations, in particular: (FYI, For the meals, we’ll be a party of 8 = myself, DH + 4 DDs, ages 8, 6, &4, staying at AoA + 2 GPs, staying at FWL.) Ok, on our 3rd...
