Sunday:

Back to MK by 5:00 for MNSSHP, CS dinner, bed around 11:00

Monday:

Friday:

So, am I nuts? Have I put in too much naptime? Too little? I feel like I am not taking enough advantage of park days but I'm afraid to push the little tykes too hard. By the way, we don't have the hopper option.

I think you're itinerary sounds reasonable. You know your kids best, so your nap time figures are probably the most correct. Some people might need more/some less. You have a good mix of resort time and park time.

Hopefully you'll be make lots of trips over the years, so there's no need to push so hard that you don't have a good time with your little one.

I think you've done just fine. My only suggestion is to be flexible with this plan. You may be surprised at how many times you're not able to get everyone up and ready to go in time to be at the park at opening. Don't stress about that though, just go with it. Do try to catch the opening show once, but don't feel like you have to make it every day just to "get your money's worth".

Have fun!

I had a similar itinerary and we never made it back for the naptime. We did go back and rest, but was usually later in the day. I have a dd8 and dd4 and I was surprised that the 4 year old really kept up. I wish we had more time to just relax at the pool, but it didn't work out that way for us. It was our first trip and we were trying to see alot in 7 days. I feel like our next trip back will be more relaxed. So, my advice is go with that itinerary in mind but don't be surprised if you don't stick with it exactly. Have fun!!! I wish I was there again right now!

You'll know when the kids need a nap. I write out plans just like that & put them on notecards so I don't think your crazy. That would make me crazy too! I would consider Animal Kingdom one day. It seems like a lot of Magic Kingdom in your plans. Just an idea.
