Thanks for the replys! We're flying out of Philly, so I think we will go w/ the 8 am flight after all. I was thinking of a 10:10 one, but I'm afraid that the schedule will be really backed up - Philly morning plane rush hour can be brutal - nothing like getting in line for take-off & finding out your #17 in line! So, hopefully we'll get out somewhat quickly if we go earlier. We're only 1/2 hour away from the airport, so at least traffic will be light at that time of day. We're staying at Poly, so we'll just go to MK (since it's the closest park) til about dinner, then head back. We'll just go by how they're doing - as we always do w/ them. The next day is just Epcot, w/ no meals planned, so I'm not even setting the alarm. When we get up is fine - that's when they'll be refreshed & ready to go.
I'm not worried if we don't get much done that day - we'll be there for 10 days, so plenty of time to do & see what we want. I always go by their schedules, not mine, so that's why I'm concerned about waking them earlier than normal. They normally do sleep around 11 hours a night & I don't like to mess w/ that. Good tip on the food for the plane - I always have snacks, but I'll make sure I take stuff that's a little more filling, in case they're not in the mood yet to eat at the airport before we get on the plane.
