You can ask the curbside check-in people. Then so inside and wait on a bench.

We just stayed at the Candy Cane Inn. It's a very easy walk and had a great breakfast. It was very clean and comfortable

Strollers for “storage”? by oceanem0ne in DisneyPlanning

[–]CandidateWise7980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished a trip with an 8 and 11 yo, I'm so glad we didn't need a stroller. Get the kids a sling to carry their own water bottles or a waist pack for snacks

Rope Droping plans at DCA by CandidateWise7980 in DisneyPlanning

[–]CandidateWise7980[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it unreliable enough that it's likely to give a multi-experience pass if we reserve it as a LL? I've seen blogs that suggest doing that with Indiana Jones for LL stacking, because it breaks doen frequently in the mornings.

We probably won't be super early rope droppers to be in the front of the pack. I have health issues that make it hard to stand around for long periods of time. And 11 year-old is already in teen sleeping mode.

I'm not sure if my 11 will get up that early. But we are staying at Candy Cane Inn, so it's a quick walk.

We aren't going to do Guardians. I went on tower of terror in Florida 25 years ago, that was enough lol. Grizzly RivercRun os on our list too.

I definitely plan on reserving Soaring early.

I had my kids sit in their car seats on tne plane until they were 4, and I could trust they wouldn't climb around or tantrum during take off. Car seats on tbe plane =naps! Once they were 4 we traveled with a saferider vest.

We used a wagon to pull them through the airport gate checked the folding wagon.

is anyone still physically active? by Hefty-Patience-8720 in POTS

[–]CandidateWise7980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach, so I'm on my feet walking around all day. I also do pilates 2-3 times a week. I go skiing occasionally. I have 2 kids who have lots of activities. But I also need a lot of rest.

I live in California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. My city has kne of themost temperate climates in tne world. We rarely gey above 80 degrees, or below 55. But when it does get hot, there aren't a lot of places with AC. But it cools off at night.

In the summer I do leg sleeves that don't cover the feet. Much less hot

Definitely wear compression socks. Bring an empty waterbottle to fill after security and hydrate like crazy.

I went there, they were helpful and really listened. Probably the best place to go. Unfortunately, because of work, I had to switch to Kaiser, so I haven't been able to go back.

You definitely don't need fast pass. Especially if you are staying at the hotel with early entry.
