Help Plan My Trip! Which attractions to do/to skip

[LuluLovesDisney]

Hi!
I am planning a Disney Trip for Dec 26-Jan4 w my boyfriend/fiance-w/o-a-ring of 3 1/2 years. We went to Disney with my nephews last summer for 2 days and we saw Epcot, MK and Studios. Both days we went from park opening to park close and we really did see everything we wanted to! I was a Disney CP at Studios so I know everything extremely well except the new stuff (and there's a lot!)
We're trying to decide what to do and what to skip this time around because we just don't have a lot of "park" time! We are in WDW for 3 days, one the boat for 4 and when we get back, we don't plan on purchasing park admission, just doing things like water parks, downtown disney, maybe DisneyQuest? We want to eat at Ohana and Kona Cafe and use the Poly pool as we are VERY psyched abt staying at the Poly. Any advice?
Dec 26- Jan 2 Land and Sea Cruise and Jan 2-4 at another hotel (not sure which one yet)
Dec 26 -Arrive 10:30 am (if on time!) check into Poly, go to Epcot
Dec 27- Magic Kingdom
Dec 28- Animal Kingdom and Studios
Dec 29- breakfast at Ohana and go to Port Canaveral for Cruise!
Dec 30,31 Jan 1 -CRUISE!
Jan 2- Disembarkation at 8 am, back to Disney (not sure which resort, yet. Can't afford Poly again! Maybe CBR? Any advice? Maybe we'll go to the Marketplace this day bc we want to go to PI
Jan 3- we want to try a water park, but it's January, so we're not sure. But we want to go to the Boardwalk to walk around, eat dinner, etc. and go to Jellyrolls
Jan 4- We will probably just pack, maybe take a swim. Our flight leaves at 7 pm.

So only three days for the parks . . . any advice?
Aloha

I don't know if I would count on the weather being agreeable for swimming.

The only advice I would give you is pick which park is most important to you and go to that one on Jan. 3rd and have your non-park day be in Dec. because the few days after Christmas are VERY busy. Jan. 3rd may be a little better for you.
