Looks like a great schedule! I hope your littlest one likes the characters too! Maybe having seen them so recently, they won't seem so strange to her. And in that setting, it may seem more natural. My DGD loved the characters at Crystal Palace when she was 2 yrs and 3 months, so it could happen! 
You have lots of company on here and we love to hear about your plans, such as where you're staying, ADRs etc. Glad you're here!

The shows would interest them but that's it really.mommyof3princess27 said:We were going for 2 days but now just one day. I dont think there is too much there uther then ToT andd RNRC that my family will want to ride. The younger ones cant ride of course. I do want to do 2 days of AK but have no where to put it unless I cancel a water park day OR Be Our Guest at MK and I am NOT doing that!

WDW is getting closer- only 37 days away!!
I have been slowly purchasing things for the trip- I have some breakfast items ready, got a bunch of cool LED light up stuff for after dark, lanyards set to go, and got ponchos and umbrellas just in case.
Yesterday, I found the perfect small cross-body bag for the parks. Target has a a Mossimo bag on clearance for about $16 right now that is great. Reminds me of the Baggelini Zip 'n Go bag. The bag is small but holds a lot and has lots of zippered compartments and a nice long strap to go across the body (it is also adjustable). Target's version is faux leather and comes in fuschia, purple, mustard color, and black.
That bag sounds perfect for the parks! I wouldn't bother with umbrellas if you have ponchos. That's a lot to keep up with. It's fun to start collecting things in one spot isn't it?62 days left! I am finishing up my Pop window decorations.
How much time do you spend in World Showcase? Should I do 2 days at Epcot or another day at MK (we were going to do a half 2nd day at Epcot, then MVMCP that night)? Any suggestions?
Do any of you use those water bottle strap thingys? I am trying to avoid using a stroller just to carry our stuff, but carrying 7 bottles around between all of us does not appeal to me (and it seems that the grown ups always end up carrying the kids' stuff!). If I can swing not taking a stroller, this will be the first time in 16 years that I have been without one in a Disney park. I have the feeling that I will feel like I am missing something all day long!
Thanks in advance!
Can you just have 2 or 3 water bottles and share? We take a small lightweight backpack with us and that's where I keep our water bottle if we have one. Maybe for your first time without a stroller, you'll need some sort of park bag. I think it would be hard to go cold turkey!
Good luck!

Goodness! We're considering changes to our plans now too. A friend is considering tagging along and that might mean moving from a LM room to a suite at AoA. Of course, she's not sure if she wants to be there for Thanksgiving, so she's slow to make plans. I told her last night that we have 7 weeks left and it's a busy time so she'll have to hurry.
The options I figured out are like this:
1) for $1700 she can get a room at Pop (AoA LM is sold out), tickets and dining plan like us. She can ride with us in the car and since Pop and AoA are connected we could still be together most of the time
2) for $2500 we can upgrade to a suite at AoA and get her tickets and dining. We're all together which might make logistics easier. She's favoring this plan at the moment.
3) if she doesn't want to spend Thanksgiving at WDW she can fly, get a room at Pop and leave the day before Thanksgiving. Including tickets and DDP that would also be around $1700
Another option would be for us to move to Pop and then get connecting rooms, but we really want to stay at AoA, so that's not really on the table.
What do you think?
