Went to Disney 3 years ago and planned for a year. Everyone on this board helped make our trip AMAZING!! This time we are thinking of going in a month....oh my!! Had planned on October 2011 but circumstances have changed and we are looking into late Feb now.
Details then questions.....2 adults, 2 DD's (8 and 9). Will have own car. Thinking 4 days in parks and 2 days doing outside WDW stuff. Pool a must! We are morning people and will hit parks early rather than stay late. Kids not all that adventurous riders although BTMRR and Splash were huge hits last time.
1. Where to stay? Looks like there is a deal on some WDW hotels and kids play free. This may be enough savings to stay at WDW instead of off site but maybe not??
2. Value or Moderate? Stayed at Poly last time but not willing to spend that much now. And do we split our stay between hotels or is that more of a pain than it is worth?
3. Dining plan? Last time we ate at lots of character meals and sit downs but kids wont be into that this trip. May want one or two sit downs for dinner but with our own car may prefer to go out in Orlando.
4. MGM? Kids hated it last time but they are older now and maybe they would like it. Definitely want to do MK, AK and Epcot. Than decide on 4th day which park they want to do again.
5. Universal? Kids are so-so about HPotter and not big riders so maybe we skip? But if HP is a really cool thing than maybe we go.
6. What else is a must see in Orlando? Ethical qualms with Sea World so I am not sure I could do that one. A few people have mentioned a Medieval dinner show but I know nothing about it.
Thanks for any advice you all can give. I am a little nervous that I don't have a lot of time to plan.
