With all eight kids in tow, Jon and Kate visit the local children’s theme park Dutch Wonderland. The sextuplets experience the thrills of their first trip to an amusement park, but quickly learn that some rides aren’t for everyone.

It's a dream come true for the kids, who will get to meet some of their favorite Disney characters in person, visit Cinderella's castle, eat lunch with Winnie the Pooh, and perhaps most exciting of all, they'll have Mom and Dad to themselves for a whole week. And although it might be an exhausting trip for Jon & Kate, with 8 kids all under the age of 6, exhaustion is something they're used to!
