We have been blessed with getting to bring Grandma & Grandpa with us to Disney World four times.
It has not only been fun for the kids, but Grandma & Grandpa had a BLAST!
They are always talking aboutwhen do they get to go back!
You will all be fresh, happy, and excited about the day.
Spend the first 1-2 hours riding the rides you could all ride together as a family in most casesFantasyland.
We started doing this as Grandpa neared 80 and it made everyone much happier!
Eat Meals Together as a Family
Meals are a great way to reconnect during the day.
Dont overdo it!
He was just overdoing it and not hydrating well, but didnt want to stop or worry us.
That lead to him being taken to the hospital and loosing a day and a half checking everything out.
He was fine, but he took it more slowly and hydrated better from then on.
One of them is that you could easily go back during the day for a break.
I know it will be hard to break from the fun you wont want to.
Buttrust meyoull be glad you did.
The parks get very crowded around lunch time and remain that way until 4pm or so.
It is also the hottest part of the day.
)or stroll around your resort.
You will be refreshed and ready to go back for dinner.
Get in the Spirit & Be a BIG Kid!
Every time I go back to Disney I feel like a kid again.
I get all excited, start smiling uncontrollably, and I just want to run from ride to ride.
That feeling is shared by people of all ages every day at Disney.
Its just plain fun!
You will love looking back at them in the months and years to come.
These will help extend the magic and reinforce your memories!
Be Careful about Overheating!
Take Frequent Breaks!Take frequent breaks where you get out of the scorching heat.
Enjoy one of the many shows and indoor attractions, shop, or grab a bite to eat indoors.
Characters are for Grandparents TOO!
Characters arent just for kids!
If you are waiting in line to see a character dont feel like it is just for the kids.
get your picture taken too.
Get silly with the characters they love interacting witheveryone, and get some silly pictures with youandyour grand kids!
The Disney World parks arehugeand you probably wont just happen to run into them, although you might.
Here are some ideas:
Take Time for Yourself TOO!
Although being with your extended family is a lot of fun, it can be exhausting too.
confirm you take time in the afternoon and/or evenings to do things you want too.
There is lots to do for people of all ages!
One of our grandparents favorites was the Hall of Presidents.
It is in the Magic Kingdom so close to the action, but is inside in air-conditioning.
It was a wonderful afternoon activity.
It is good to be prepared.
Be silly, be in a good mood, join in on the fun.
You will create a special bond with your grandkids.
This is some of the bestquality grandkidtime you will get.
You are in for a real treat!
