If you are... I'd like to post my days as I plan them... Here's my first three days. We have weekday AP so that's why we don't do parks on Saturday or Sunday. We are a group of 4 adults and two small children (3 and 1). Suggestions welcome!!!! Here we go!!

Saturday: Arrive in Orlando. Check in (hopefully early, will confirm on the way). Go to Disney Springs. Exchange certificates for those who need to. Get a pager to visit Santa Claus. Have lunch or dinner at Raglan Road.


Sunday: Cape May Cafe breakfast reservations at 9:30. Walk to The BoardWalk.


Monday: Epcot. PPO ADR at Akershus at 8:10. Eat, go straight to new Frozen ride. Meet Anna & Elsa. Test Track (A + M FP+ at 9:40-10:40, use Rider Switch with D+T), Soarin’ (D+T+MAK FP+ 10:45-11:45, use Rider Switch), Living with the Land, Spaceship Earth (FP 12:20-1:20), Turtle Talk with Crush, The Seas, Nemo and Friends, Gran Fiesta Tour (if time allows), Meet Disney Pals (FP 2:40-3:40).
 
You didn't state your dates. I'm assuming you are going shortly. If you can do MVMCP on Sunday I would go for it. You would have to pay for that event no matter what. You can get into the park by 4pm. Get more park time in. Have the kids take a good nap; so, they can handle an evening in MK. The kids will like MK the best.

After Thanksgiving in Epcot I would do some of the holiday storytellers in World Showcase. In the U. S. Pavillon you can go visit Santa Claus. Also, some of you could do the Candlelight Processional. I'm not sure I would take the kids to the CP. Definitely, do Illuminations.

Do you have more days there? It seems like you do, but I'm not sure.
 
I always say if your coming in and doing the ticketed parties at MK, do them as early in your trip that makes sense. You never know what weather is going to be like and you have more options on what to do if you have the rest of your trip to possibly be able to attend a different one. MVMCP your generally safe and it's not like MNSSHP happening during wet season where rain is a real probably for some party nights so take this recommend with a grain of salt when planning MVMCP.

We are going mid December! We will be going to the parks more days... Monday through Friday total. I would love to do MVMCP but my kids go to sleep too early to make it worth it. We will do Epcot Monday, MK Tuesday, HS Wednesday, MK Thursday, AK Friday. Just haven't finished all plans yet but plan to post as I do!!

We definitely do need to add visiting Santa!!
 

Here's the next day:

Tuesday: Magic Kingdom at Rope Drop. Go straight to Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Do rider swap, let two people ride and the other two take the girls to see Ariel and do Under the Sea. Spend the day in Fantasyland/Tomorrowland. Do Enchanted Tales with Belle & Peter Pan’s Flight if lines are short. The Plaza Restaurant at 11:00. Winnie The Pooh (FP M+MAK+T 10:10), Space Mountain (A+D 10:15), Meet Cinderella and Elena (12:00), Meet Rapunzel and Tiana, Mad Tea Party, Tomorrowland PeopleMover, Meet Disney Pals, Dumbo, Prince Charming Carrousel, Small World, Peter Pan’s Flight (2:30), Railroad Station
 
Do you have any other plans for Sunday? Other than seeing the Christmas decorations, there is nothing going on at the Boardwalk in the mornings.

Yes I think you should save the ticket exchange for this day, since you'll already be in the Epcot IG area and it appears with fewer things to do than at Disney Springs.
