dutchwonderland- am I crazy for trying this?

We are scheduled to go to Dutchwonderland in August. Leaving in the morning, going to the park and then an overnight hotel stay. Here is the crazy part question- I have a 2 year old and a 4 month old. The baby was a preemie, so his adjusted age is 2.5 months and he does not sttn. He wakes up 2x for a feeding. I am concerned he will wake up and wake DD. She is a good sleeper, but I don't want this to be a horribe night for all of us. Has anyone every attempted this? I want to go for DD, but I am so nervous this will be a diaster. WWYD?

We went for DDs 3rd bday, DS was 2 1/2 months at the time. It wasn't bad at all. DS does really well outside, I think he even slept better. We did just eat at the new restaurant, merlins? For dinner. It helped not having to get them in the car and back out to eat. There's lots of shade which helps a ton. At the water park we found a spot on the lawn with shade and the baby slept on a blanket while we took turns with DD. Have fun!

We did it in June. Twins are 2. Baby was 3mo. Baby slept fine....twins were up all night. Climbed out of PNP in 2 seconds, wouldn't co-sleep.

I wound up sleeping on the floor by the bathroom w/ the baby.

If u can afford it, get a suite!!!!!!!!

FWIW, we didn't sleep for more than an hour the entire night but the kids had a blast so it was completely worth it!

Maybe try a Miracle Blanket for the baby? Best $ I ever spent!!!!!

My newborn DS will be 2 months when I booked our family trip for Dutch Wonderland/Hersheypark. We are leaving him with MIL for the 3 days so we can devote our time to DD and get some sleep ourselves. I know some people would not be comfortable leaving their ;little ones but for us, the purpose of the trip is to spend quality time with our daughter who has been adjusting to have a little brother around.
