1st to DW need help

[Mom & her 2 girls]

We will be visiting DW on Oct 5th. I behind in planning for our trip and could use some help. We are there for 4 days with 2 days with a hopper pass. My girls are excited and what to make sure I can show them the best in that little time. We plan to only do MK and maybe AK if time permits.

My girls ages are 6 and 3 yrs old, they love the Princess girls and Whinnie the Pooh. What rides are a must to do and parades or shows should we see. Any info on seeing the princess girls.

We will be at the Coronado Resort, any recommendations what other resorts should we visit?

My girls are somewhat picking when it comes to food, they mostly eat pasta with oil. What restaurants for dinner are kid friendly and what restaurants would they enjoy.

I appreciate any help I can get.

For Winnie the Pooh, make reservations to have lunch at The Crystal Palace...they will be able to meet the Winnie the Pooh characters. As for the the Princesses, I don't think you're able to make reservations last minute now to have a character breakfest with the Princesses, but they do have a Cinderalla Surpise show in front of the Castle at noon at MK. At MK they have Tony's Restraunt (Lady and the Tramp) and it's Italian.

I would spend one day at each park (or at least try.)

Hi and welcome!
For picky eaters I always suggest the buffets. Everyone is free to choose from either the adult or children selections so they will always find something they will like.
You might want to consider Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Resort (walking distance or monorail from the Magic Kingdom).
Someone already suggeted Crystal Palace and that is fun for Pooh lovers. Both Chef Mickey's and the Crystal Palace are buffets so you should be fine.
You can find menus at allearsnets.com.
Have a great trip!

Your best bet to see a Princess at a meal would be 1900 Park Fare for dinner. Cinderella is the only PRincess. Usually The Fairy Godmother and the 2 mice are there also. Some times Prince Charming.

It also never hurts to try and call for Cindy's breakfast the morning of. Or try to get a walk-up. It can happen.

You can also see Pooh, Eeyore, and Tigger at the Character Landing in Animal Kingdom. They're out quite a bit to sign autographs and pose for pictures.

According to my guidebook, the restaurant in Norway (Akershus, but I know I'm getting that wrong) at Epcot does a princess-like character breakfast--Snow White, Jasmine, etc.

Winnie the Pooh at the Crystal Palace is a must.

You can do a lot in 2 days with a park hopper--Animal Kingdom takes about 1/2 day. MGM is also relatively easy to get through with small ones. Plan on spending most of your time at the MK--if you're going to do epcot with small ones--break it up, and go at night--since Epcot stays open the latest. i.e.--do MK in the morning and afternoon, and take the monorail to Epcot in the PM.

Finally, make a list of the stuff your girls really want to see--that's what you get in first. Rest is gravy.

Fodor's Walt Disney World with Kids has great tips for touring in short time periods.

Enjoy!

My main tip is to be at MK 30 minutes prior to opening and go STRAIGHT to Fantasyland as soon as they open the park.You can really get alot done there early in the day before it REALLY clogs up about 11 AM.Thursday will be an EMH day and you can enter the MK at 8 AM instead of 9 AM and get a good head start on the off-property guests.Wow,I wish you had more than 2 days,but just get your kids(and you)well-rested before you go and HAVE A GREAT TIME!WDW really has to be seen to be believed.AMAZING PLACE!
