Going to WDW during Easter for the first time. Help!

[susi.t5236]

Hello everyone!
My boyfriend and I are going to WDW from April 12th to April 15th 2022. We are from Germany and those are the only dates we could fit into our US trip to go to Disney. Now I've read basically everywhere that Easter crowds are the heaviest crowds and I just feel like crying. My boyfriend has never been to Disney World and my last time was in 2010, I just want him to be able to experience the Disney magic and see and do as much as possible in our little time since I don't know when we'll be able to visit again. Our plan is to purchase Genie+ for every park but apparently that only gives you about 4 rides a day with heavy crowds, unfortunately my bf does not like to wait in line for a long time to do a ride. Also I'm reading a lot about how you need a park strategy in order to ride a lot but what are such strategies apart from rope dropping certain rides and going back to the resort midday for a break? We are staying at Caribbean Beach Resort so we'll have early entry and the rides to epcot and HS won't take too long I think.
Our plan is: (I already made the park reservations)
April 12th: arriving at mco at 9:35am, mears to resort and just go to epcot whenever we're ready, staying till park close
April 13th: magic kingdom, have reservations for skipper canteen at 1pm
April 14th: Hollywood studios, rope dropping for ROTR, then leaving for breakfast at 'ohana at 11am, either going back to HS or going to Disney springs
April 15th: Animal Kingdom, rope dropping FOP, then leaving late afternoon for flights at 8:30pm

I'd appreciate help, tips regarding everything because I feel like I can't do anything to make this trip magical. I want my boyfriend to fall in love with WDW as much as me, so that he won't mind spending a lot of money on flights to orlando from Germany in the future .

Thank you for your time!!

It will still be wonderful. Looks like a fun plan. Don’t let the crowds deter you. Rope dropping ROTR and FOP can be a real pain. I would pay the extra and grab the Individual LL for those, each park morning at 7am, since are on property. Still go with the early rope drop plan, but will be a more relaxing day with a return time before even heading over. Skipper Canteen is a great choice!

Ok, then we'll get the ILL. Thank you!

Honestly with such a short trip I would not leave HS it can take time to get to your breakfast then the time at the meal could be an hour or longer and then the time to travel back I would spend as much time as you can there.

That's definitely something we're going to think about. I would still like to do it but maybe only if the park hours get exented like they did in march.
