The dreaded stroller/tram combo!! Ugh. Good luck. This year I am renting one at a cool 13.00 a freakin day. My kid is too big for the umbrella variety and way too big for the fold up kind yet too small to hoof it all day.

Gotta admit, Salsa is a bit odd at 10am unless it is served with eggs and tortillas!

Not saying that stops me, but it is still odd!

Pintrader, after my routine stop at Delilah's, I amble over to see if Danny Eaken is sitting on the porch, and I head for the Apple Butter shop.  No wonder I am never hungry when I leave the park (no matter what time I leave).

Not odd at all. True salsa fans appreciate the chopped tomatoes, and spices anytime of the day! Also, I never thought about stopping at the Apple Butter Shop first thing in the morning. Now I wonder what I'm missing!

Same thing I always do. Walk into the Apple Butter Shop. No matter if I arrive at 11:00 or 9:30, it is always the first place we go into. It was the same way when it was located down by The Plunge. We would walk slowly, just take it in and go in for a smell of turnovers (or the remaining scent of what was once turnovers!) and just meander our way through the city. First real thing this time will be figuring out our clearance with the stroller since that is a whole new ballgame for us!

The secret to strollers is preferred parking. 6.00 and a short walk is the way to go!
Especially when I had a double jogging stroller.

I am a bit nervous about this summer because I feel like we shouldn't take a stroller, but at the same time if the youngest falls asleep or is worn down, I dont know if  I can carry him out! That's the pitfalls of being 3.5 and the same size as 5 year olds!

rent the double stroller at the park. it is 16.00 but VERY convenient. I dont like that there are no cup holders on it though.

Preferred parking is the way to go if you  have strollers/small children.  The price for preferred parking is cheaper than renting a stroller (if you have a Season Pass). It is great at the end of the day if you have crabby children and long lines for the trams. It also works well if you have to make trips back to the vehicle to drop things off or retrieve forgotten items.

I have 5 kids ages 3-15.  Until I don't have to fool with backpacks full of snacks and changes of clothes, and strollers, Preferred Parking is worth it to me.

Listen to us speak of bags of food and clothes. Its like we have small carry ons that we bring with us like we are staying the night at a relatives home. Hahaha.

My parents always have to go through the bakery first thing when they are with us.  My family wanders around the square and hits Sullivan's Mill but when the rope drops it's straight to Powderkeg.

I am surprised to see how many people (including myself) who choose to use their sense of taste as their first real indulgence at Silver Dollar City.

I'll bet that almost everybody uses their sense of smell first. As soon as you get out of the HH and under the arbor, you can close your eyes, plug your ears, shut your mouth, and just breathe... and you're home!

thats a fact KB!! You can smell a new season!

Too right you are.  For many of us visiting SDC IS like visiting a relative's home.  And most of us would LOVE the opportunity to spend the night there!

For me, visiting Grandpa's Mansion is definitely like visiting a relative's home!

My kiddo REFUSED to go into GM until he was 3 1/2-4 years old. He didnt much care for the music box at the beginning. Now he loves GM!!! A real must do!

So much talk of Sullivan's Mill cinnamon bread in this thread.  I feel another kitchen experiment is in my near future...
