hi!
i say GO and have a great time! we were there in Nov., too, with our just-turned-2 yr. olds along with my parents and my in-laws...it wasn't quite what i expected, but we had a great time!
the first night was stayed at AKL--they liked boma and LOVED the playground there. the rest of the time
we stayed at the cabins in ft. wilderness...it was really nice having the extra bedroom with a door for naptime and bedtime. like everyone else, my kids slept really well for naps and bedtime (they took huge naps!), but they wouldn't sleep in strollers, so we spent lots of time at the cabin (the porch was great for this).
one of the things i found while there is that we didn't really use the kitchen like we thought we would--my kids generally eat well, but they really didn't want much of the home cooked food.....i was more concerned about them eating enough to keep them from getting cranky than i was about the quality of food they ate, so they ate lots of cereal bars, cereal, pbj, frozen waffles, pizza (in the parks), and fruit (i did stock up on snacks from the health food store before i left to alleviate any guilt i might feel about giving them nothing but junk--that helped, i think!).
it was great having the car parked right outside the cabin as we drove everywhere(we found it much easier than using disney transportation from FW).
my kids LOVED festival of the lion king, playing on the playground at AKL and in ft. wilderness, playing on the beach at the POLY,parades, the fireworks from the poly beach, cinderella's carrousel, the monorail, meeting characters, and the mgm playhouse. they liked (or were at least ok with)winnie, buzz, breakfast at crystal palace, and dumbo and the magic carpets, jungle cruise, and the safari ride. they didn't like philharmagic.
we're planning a trip for just the 5 of us in april. here are the things i've learned from my last trip....
the way my kids napped (3 hrs every day!!), we had very little time in the afternoon at the parks by the time we factored in transport time to the parks.....we're looking to stay at the POLY in april for easy access to MK and others (by way of TTC). also, we're thinking of alternating full days in the parks (with a short nap), with full days "off" (another reason to stay at the poly: the beach and sloped-entry into the pool...perfect for little ones.)
i think a room with a refrigerator and microwave (even if i have to bring my own) will be enough for us. it won't be as easy, though.
not sure if we'll do another character breakfast-- it was tough trying to keep them in their seats after 15 minutes. dh and i didn't really get a chance to eat much...
i think my kids will really like the wedway people mover (we didn't do it this time) and small world as they are more mellow rides. we'll spend more time in AK (we didn't do the bone yard or tri. spin) and we'll try and see Festival of the lion king and playhouse disney more than once each (they loved it that much).
we're also considering bringing our peg perego stroller as my kids hated the nice umbrella strollers we bought for WDW use--perhaps because they were new to them and they weren't accustomed to the FREEDOM of having the option to be in or out---they know that once they're in their stroller, only MOMMY--or daddy--decides when they can come out (i know you triplet moms understand this!!!!).....
we'll stay at one place and not switch hotels (originally, we thought this would be fun as we'd get the distinct advantages of both places)...it was very disruptive to naptime and not worth it!
oh, don't know if you'll be driving or flying, but we drove and it wasn't too bad...we considered flying, but by the time you add up the cost of the tickets plus the rental minivan, we decided we'd rather suck it up on the drive and spend the extra cash on the POLY.
hmmmm....hope some of this rambling helps....
have a great time!
oh, by the way, hueydueyandluey--did i see your picture of the kids in the strollers on the TC? too cute!!!!!
