Grandparents here, traveling with 3 DGD's-(6, 8, &11) and trying to decide what, if anything, we should plan for arrival day. We have an 8:30AM flight, which means we'll need to have the kids up and on the road by 5:00AM. We're due to arrive MCO at noon and check-in time at AKV is at 4.
I half suspect the kids will be ready for bed early after getting up before dawn or that they will be tired and cranky by mid-afternoon. But maybe they'll be so excited they want to hit the gates running. I just don't know what to expect.
My original thought was to just head to the MK on arrival. Second thought was just hang out at the resort the first day. I'm considering something like HDD, but I'm picturing them falling asleep in their baked beans. But maybe we could eat at four, and then just go back to the resort for the evening and everyone could crash whenever they wanted. (The little one is mostly adorable but when she's tired the devil gets in her and makes her head spin around lol.) We took their two older sisters about 10 years ago but I can't remember what we did the first day.
Any ideas from people who have done WDW with kids this age?
