The other one is a standard cheap umbrella stroller which folds up really small and weighs
practically nothing, but doesn't have a storage basket or sun shade.
QUESTION:I can't wait! My husband, 23month old son, and I are
leaving for Florida in 16 days! I have been lurking
here for months and have gotten lots of excellent
information from this group. I have a few last minute
questions.
We will be driving up to WDW on Sunday, November
29th after spending Thanksgiving w/ relatives in
Boca Raton. We have reservations for 5 nights
at All Star Sports and have already purchased
5-day park hopper passes from the Disney
Store.
I am trying to decide whether we should head
straight to one of the parks or go to the hotel
to pre-check-in. The check out time for A.S.S.
is 11 am, which is right around when we would be
arriving. I'm afraid that being the end of a
big holiday weekend, it could be a real zoo
trying to check in when everyone else is
checking out. Any advice?
Question: My sister-in-law estimates about
a 3 hour drive from Boca to WDW. Does this
sound right to those of you who have done
it before?
Question: If we go straight to one of the parks,
is there anyway we can prove that we are resort
guests so we can get the free parking?
Question: If we go to the hotel first, how
long is it likely to take for us to check in,
considering it will be ~11 a.m on the Sunday
of Thanksgiving weekend?
Question: Which park(s) would you recommend
for that first day, considering we won't be arriving
until late morning/early afternoon, and that it
will be Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend?
One last question, for those parents with small
children. I have two different strollers
that I could bring from home. One is a Century
that came with the attachable infant car seat.
It reclines and has a sun shade and a big basket
underneath but is really bulky, even when its folded
up. The other one is a standard cheap umbrella
stroller which folds up really small and weighs
practically nothing, but doesn't have a storage
basket or sun shade. How important is the sun-shade
in late Nov/early Dec. How important is ease of
folding up for the busses and parks? Also, if we
bring the expensive one, is there much danger of
it being stolen? Any advice on which stroller to
bring would be appreciated.
ANSWER: I would bring the umbrella stroller. There isn't much room on the busy for the
bigger stroller. After walking around all day, I was glad that I had a small,
light stroller. I took an umbrella stroller when my daughter was 18 months and
2.5 years. My girls refused to wear hats or sunglasses when we go to Disney
World. We have gone in december for the last three years. They didn't have any
problems. The umbrella stroller I had, had a top that could be put up.
I would also check in as soon as I got there to get it overwith. You will get
your room pass and then can call after 4:00 and get your room number. If you
leave your luggage at the hotel, they will take it to your room for you. My
luggage didn't arrive until 7:00pm, but I didn't call for my room until 5:45pm.
I went to the Animal Kingdom my first day. I was at Disney World October 13 -
October 16 and stayed at the All-Star Music. Epcot is probably the less crowded
on the weekends.
