Can anyone help with DLR planning?

[LoveDisneyMom]

Hi!

Me, my DH and our DS who will be almost 3 are going to Disneyland
We arrive around 5pm on May 3 and leave May 10th at around 10am.

This is our first family trip and both my DH and I havent been to DLR in around 15 years!

We are planning on spending 4 days at DLR and maybe one day at SeaWorld. I bought Ridemax and Touring Plans already but am not finding them to be that helpful when it comes to planning our days.

Im feeling a bit overwhelmed because I would like to have a good plan for who we should conquer the parks. There is no options to leave time for eating/going back for a nap on those plans and was wondering if anyone here could help me with an itinerary?!!! I would really REALLY appreciate it!!!!

We want to do one MM and would like to do one day on the weekend so we can have the extra long hours and see all the shows/events that are not during the week.

We also will go home everyday around lunch time to let our DS nap. We dont want to push our DS too hard because he has a medical condition where if he gets sick there is a good chance we will end up in the hospital for a few days.

Thanks so much for any help you can give!!!!

Early May is a slow time at the parks so it should be relatively early.

If you want help with itineraries your best bet is to use

RideMax www.ridemax.com or Touring Plans www.touringplans.com

I have a preference for RideMax myself but last I checked TP had more pre-built plans.

We don't ever plan out a complete itinereary with rides in order or anything. And you chose a great time to go so you don't have to rush.

Just make sure you do Fantasyland early in the morning one day, rides like Peter Pan and Dumbo tend to get crowded. Also do the same for the newer and popular attractions such as Toys Story Mania, the Little Mermaid ride etc. And if you want to do the big rides (with a child swap) get a fast pass too, and keep in mind you can still use them even if you miss your time slot (but you can't use them early).

You will have a great time!
