Solo mom w/kids trip?

I'm looking at taking the kids to Disneyland for Halloween again, only this time with myself as the only adult. Am I crazy? The kids are 11,10,&9 so other than not being able to split up when one doesn't want to do something that the others do, what are my potential pitfalls?

:-) You're in far better shape than I am! We have a Cruise on our radar next year and I'm scheming to take the girls to the 'world' for a few days before our trip. There's no way Chris would be able to take that much time off work. They'll be 10,

The rides that will probably be an issue-


Splash Mountain- Joey and I could go on it all day, we'll be lucky if we get Adam and Daisy on it once.

Chel,

I think you might just take it as it goes. I took two of mine out while my oldest took a nap. They enjoyed being out and about with just me. I don't think it is a mistake taking the children by themselves. You might sit down with each of them and work on compromises etc. That way you can work on what you each want to do and compare notes and find a happy medium between all of you........

Hi Chel!

Thanks for the compliment. I wanted to incorporate something from our trip! :)

Isabella unpacked yesterday and packed a new bag. I suppose she is still packed. We are hoping for a surprise trip in October.......Shhhh! Still waiting for insurance.
