Dutch Wonderland ...advice?
Leaving tomorrow with 3 and 5.5 year old. Any advice? Do they wear their bathing suits the whole day at park? Do I need to bring my own towels. Can you go out of park then get back in if you want to eat lunch? Two full days should be enough, yes? Did you need to make reservations in advance at Millers or Good and Plenty? Is this place double stroller friendly?

Definitely bring your own towels to the park- they don't have any for the water area.
They can wear their bathing suits under their clothes, but since DD had all one piece suits I figured it would be a pain to pee and have to take it off.
So we packed a bag with swimwear and towels and rented a locker for $2. Left the bags in there, did the dry rides in the morning, had lunch and then went to the water area.
You can change in the water area- they have changing rooms and lockers.
You can leave the park for lunch and come back- they will stamp your hand.
I didn't eat at any of the places you mentioned so I don't know about reservations
It's SO much fun though! Enjoy!
ETA- yes, 2 days is more than enough. We only spend one day and we do it all

All this...
Except we changed into our bathing suits when we headed over to the water park. Didn't think to lock out stuff up before so we carried it around all day. You have to pay each time you open the locker so make sure you have everything you need.
Definitely do the dry rides first.
We didn't make a reservation at Millers and only went there for breakfast. When we got there, they asked if we had one and we didn't but they were able to get us in. Probably a good idea to make one.
Have fun!

I think it's double stroller friendly, most paths are really wide.

Yes I saw several there.
And if you go on a ride with your kids you can just leave it right outside the line. It's very safe there.

We've used our double stroller there with no options.
Instead of two full days - you may want to take advantage of the preview - you can get there 3 hrs before the park closes and get a lot of the rides done -a nd then head back the next day for a full day.
We've never done the water side though - it was never really warm enough when we went (my kids still don't even know it's there).
