Backstory:
My family bought APs back in 2019 for a celebration trip/cruise planned for July 2020. Obviously that never happened. The cruise was rescheduled for February 2022, and was awesome. We activated our passes in February 22 and they’re good for a year.
Since we had passes we planned a few trips. My mom came with me and my two youngest (DD5 and DD1) in July. And my whole family went in August (me, DW, DS10, DD5 and DD1).
Situation:
I had the opportunity (and the airline points) to book one more trip at the end of January. But I can’t pull the big kids out of school. So, this one will be just me and DD1.
We’ll be staying at Saratoga for a week, booked with RCI points. We will walk around, meet characters, and ride the little rides. I’ll have a stroller (it folds down nice and small and I can handle it and DD1 on the busses, no problem. We have a small stroller bag for our “stuff.”
DD loves the characters (or did in August) so we might do a character meal or two. Crystal Palace is on my list, plus maybe one other with classic characters, but I can’t decide which to do. Topolinos is annoying to get to. Cape May doesn’t have Mickey. Tusker house has terrible high chairs (we did that one in August and they’re so low with those tables that her eyes were at table level…). Which leaves Chef Mickeys. Which isn’t my favorite, but might be the best choice.
The Question:
I feel like it makes sense to get Genie+ while I’m there. Waiting in long (more than 20 min) lines won’t fly with a 1yo. Am I crazy for considering this? I’ll only have to buy it for me, so it’s not as expensive as if the rest of the family was coming. We rode basically all the kiddie rides when we were there over the summer. The biggest downside is not being able to ride the same thing again.
Mostly we’re planning to hit MK. I’ve got 3 MK days, 1 EP and 1 AK. Figured we can hop to DHS if we decide we “need” to do that. Though she did really like MMRR. And there’s a chance (not sure what her height will be) that we could do A$$.
We’ll likely rope drop, ride rides, early lunch, nap in the stroller, park hop, ride rides, do dinner, then early to bed. Might try a longer afternoon rest and see fireworks one night.
So, any helpful thoughts? Have I forgotten some big thing related to Genie+?
