The park crowd calendar says it will be somewhat full (yellow). Thankfully we will be staying on Disney property so I dont have to worry about the tram. </p> <p>@HabesBabe: @birdofafeather: I was thinking about bringing a carrier. We sold our Ergo recently so I might see if a friend would let me borrow one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911471 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 17:41:33 +0000 BananaPancakes 1911471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd definetly do it, though I'd be aware that if you're parking a car, you have to get on a tram with the stroller, which means you have to fold it up. It sucks, especially if you have a big diaper bag with you. That's really the only difficult part of the visit. I think the rest of the day is 100% manageable. </p> <p>And just fair warning, Magic Kingdom is insane in December. The closer to Christmas and until after the new year, the park often reaches capacity. Magic Kjngdom at capacity = the unhappiest place on earth. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911403 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 16:24:05 +0000 HabesBabe 1911403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it a lot (Disneyland, though, which is similar to Magic Kingdom) when C was an only child. Bring your stroller and an Ergo, don't have high expectations (pretty much just hang out and go on 2-3 rides), and let the baby rule the schedule. It's not much harder than going to Costco on a busy Sunday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911348 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:40:05 +0000 birdofafeather 1911348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wouldn't. i just went with 3 GFs and their babies and it was TOUGH. we got in free and i'm glad i did because i wasn't prepared. if you do go on your own, bring a carrier because lines get long and toddlers get crazy! i didn't and it was really hard to keep her contained and i had 3 other ladies looking out for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911342 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:35:17 +0000 bunnylove08 1911342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I was going to concentrate on Fantasy land, DD seemed to like it best the last time we went. I am able to do all you said on my own since I take DD on the train in NYC often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911320 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:16:20 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1911320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would. i took the kids to disneyland without mr. bee (but my mom was there). had to take advantage of free admission while olive was still 1! they both took 3+ hour stroller naps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911263 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 14:31:31 +0000 looch 1911263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it would work if you know what your plan is and you're somewhat familiar with the transportation...like can you handle having to collapse your stroller and wrangle your child? I'd choose things where I can roll the stroller on for major transport, like the monorail.</p> <p>And then in the park, I would probably concentrate on FantasyLand and that area where they have the Dumbo Rides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911210 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 14:00:52 +0000 Mommy Finger 1911210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: I would prepare similarly as I would when taking DS anywhere alone. Make sure I have plenty of supplies (diapers, snacks, drinks) and do research on when the best time to go would be. I would probably go as early as possible since that's when he's at his best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911203 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 13:55:14 +0000 bunnylove08 1911203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: thats great advice. I know there will be melt downs and I'm prepared for it. I might need to bring a carrier just in case she gets tried on the lines and wants me to carry her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911199 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 13:54:15 +0000 bunnylove08 1911199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: I think I'm up for it. haha. I know melt downs will happen but I think it would great bonding time with DD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911196 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 13:52:40 +0000 edelweiss 1911196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it totally depends on your and your LO's personality/preferences/etc. if you are feeling up for it, then go for it! personally i would not, but i am a wimp and have an extremely low tolerance for stress, fatigue, hunger...one wonders why i chose to become a parent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911190 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 13:51:25 +0000 Mamaof2 1911190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: not sure since I haven't taken kids yet. Probably the biggest thing for me would be to get there early and have an open mind - meaning if its just not working be OK with leaving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911189 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 13:50:05 +0000 coopsmama 1911189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it'll be just fine - I would totally do it. DH used to take his then 2 year old brother to Disneyland by himself all the time. (DH was obviously an adult, there was a large gap in age! :)) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911185 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 13:48:48 +0000 autumnlove 1911185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911183 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 13:47:11 +0000 bunnylove08 1911183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: @Mamaof2: how would you prepare for this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911181 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 13:46:51 +0000 Smurfette 1911181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't. Mostly cause I know DH would want to be there to see her reaction/experience to everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911180 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 13:46:44 +0000 Mamaof2 1911180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do it too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911179 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 13:46:24 +0000 Mommy Finger 1911179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-to-go-to-magic-kingdom-alone-with-dd#post-1911174 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 13:45:42 +0000 bunnylove08 1911174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a family trip planned in December to visit Orlando. DH is meeting us a day later and I wanted to take DD (2 years old) to magic kingdom on my own. I'm wondering if this is parenting suicide? </p> <p>My friend thinks I'm crazy for doing this. Has anyone done this before? Would you take your LO to a theme park on your own? </p>
