Day 2 has come and gone. Whew, I never knew how tiring Disney could be with a 5 year old. We spent our morning at the hotel because Carson wasn't feeling his best. Last night he woke up with a fever and slept late today. After breakfast in the room, we headed out to the pool for a few hours. We didn't arrive at Hollywood Studios until after 1:00.
He doesn't look like he feels bad does he?
Carson, Jason, and two of his favorites - Lightening McQueen and 'Mater!
We saw Playhouse Disney Live today and it was great - Carson liked watching Leo sign autographs!
Thoughts on day 2 -
1. Your child will get sick - it will happen. Pack medicine from home. We didn't and when Carson woke up with a high fever in the middle of the night, we had to give him a portion of adult Motrin.
2. Definitely pack rain ponchos. Much cheaper to bring them from home than to purchase at the parks. Just like your child is going to get sick, it's going to rain. Today it rained off and on for a few hours but we just kept going in our ponchos.
3. Take advantage of the Rider Swap program on certain rides. We did this today on Tower of Terror and it was great. Jason got in line, the cast member gave me a Fast Pass ticket and Carson and I waited for Jason to ride. Once Jason got off, I went right on. Awesome program!
4. Go to Guest Services when you arrive at EACH park and get a birthday button (even if you've just celebrated a birthday), an anniversary button, etc. It get's you noticed by many cast members and you just feel special. If it's your first time in the parks, as for a 1st visit button. When we got to Hollywood Studios today and Carson got his button, the cast member gave us a fast pass for Star Wars. What a treat. We could now hold fast passes for two attractions instead of the usual one.
5. Use First Aid if you need to. Carson started feeling bad again as we were leaving and since we didn't have a thermometer in the room, we stopped in to have his temperature taken. They did this free and even provided a dose of children's Tylenol.
6. BRING a small stroller - it's a must do!
