I agree make ADR's asap...even though it is a slow time of year, you want to eat at some fantastic places.
Recommendations:
1)Go to the Disney site and look at the rides with the kids..some may be too scary for some of your kids. Then get a guide book with a map. Make a list of each park that you plan on going to. Write down the MUST DO's and any thing else is gravy. Read over really well the section on Fastpasses, although I am hoping it will be slow so you might not need it...but it still speeds things up.
2) Go to the Dis Board home page print out the park hours/parades for your trip.
3) Make up a ADR worksheet Include the Date, Restaurant, Park, time and Conf. Number.(this can also be found in various places it is called the PS Report) I like to figue out what parks I will be in on what evenings, and make a PS there. Then I usually schedule 2-3 Character breakfasts for a 7 day trip.
4) Go to
www.mousesavers.com and get the ultimate packing list, and have fun
If you want my to plan it for you...let me know what your kids can handle, and what types of tickets you have...I will help you.
