There are four of us and we'll be in the parks for 9 partial days in late January 2018. Myself, DH, DD11 and DS9. We're coming from the west coast so jet lag will be a real thing the first couple of days.
Rather than take full days off we're opting to go to the parks every day, but most days are not full days. We plan to be in MK on days 2, 5 and 8. We are staying on property (probably Port Orleans.)
The most important part is the FP and ADRs. The rest is flexible. If we're running ahead of time we can repeat rides or take more breaks. If we're running behind we'll skip less exciting items on the agenda.
