Or walk to car, drive, to resort, change for the pool, grab a book and go to pool while kid swims, then reverse. It's not as horrendous as it seems to the people that choose to do it. Much more relaxing than a melt down from being in the park without a break.
My wife and I did that for the first time on our trip in May. DHS at opening for a few hours and rode Slinky, TSMM, and MMRR, then back to the resort for lunch and some pool time. In the early evening I checked wait times and saw MMRR down to 25 minutes, so we hopped in the car and drove back to the park and rode it two more times with almost no wait. We did upgrade our free DVC parking to preferred parking that day, but I'm sure it's not a hassle to do a mid-day break if staying at a Skyliner resort - and every park has at least 1 resort where a mid-day break is pretty easy. Even if you have to wait for a bus, we're talking about hours off your feet and out of the heat. The potential 20-minute wait for a bus isn't a deal-breaker.
