This is my families first trip, I know we are going at a busy time (April 6-12) so I've decided to split our MK into 2 days. I was thinking 2 shorter today would be more enjoyable with 2 8 years than 1 long 10 hour day...

Plans:

Day 1:

Arrive around 8am (gates open) we are staying off site

Tomorrowland

buzz lightyear
Stitch's escape
Astro Orbiter
Tomorrow Speedways

Fp...Space mt...around 10:00

Lunch around 11am

Fantasyland...

FP...Peters Flight 1pm
Fp...SDMT 2pm
Then what ever around the rest

Leave around 5pm

Day 2...same arriving time

Adventure Land

Jungle Crusie
Swiss Family Tree
Aladdin

Fp...Pirates of carb.....10am

Lunch 11am

Frontierland

Fp...BTME...1pm
Fp...Splash Mtn....2pm

Liberty Sq

Leaving around 5pm

Is this doable or I'm I trying to still fit too much in? Also I'm I using my FP wisely? Thanks
 
Just use this as a guide line....get everyone up and moving early and let it go from there. Your 2 and 8 year old will take it over from there..... Follow there lead.

I would very much recommend arriving 45 to 60 minutes earlier than you're planning. I know it's early, but it's so worth it.

As far as tomorrowland goes, Ride the Astro Orbiter first, then the speedway, then Buzz Lightyear. I very much do not recommend Stitch's Great Escape. It is extremely loud, the seat restraints are painful, and someone always ignores the warning signs and brings in a small child who screams in terror for most of it. It is truly awful.

Lunch around 11am

That looks fine.

Day 2...same arriving time

There is never a line for the Swiss Family Tree House, so do the other stuff first.

Lunch 11am

Frontierland

Fp...BTME...1pm
Fp...Splash Mtn....2pm

Liberty Sq

Easily doable. In fact, you're going to have a lot of free time to fill.
 
I think you could totally do this and have time to meander in between each ride/attraction.
 

I also suggest arriving at MK about 45 mins before rope drop. You want to be through the turnstiles and security before the park officially opens and you will get to enjoy the pre-show, which includes Mickey and other characters arriving up above at the train station. They will sing and welcome everyone. Don't forget to savor that 1st moment as you walk down Main Street, USA. Enjoy.
