Hi There!!

Since park hours and EMH and such have not been released for my dates yet this is all subjective to change. I have no problem moving parks around to different days if needed but how does it look so far?

Something I'd really like to fit in would be for my daughter to do BBB sometime. When do you see a good time to squeeze that in. She's the only girl of the bunch so it would be really fun for her to get to do!


I'm already confused and exhausted!!! haha

My only suggestion is some break time. You have some young kids, and don't have any time for rest (mid-day break?). I'm guessing you won't be swimming this time of year, but you're doing rope drop each day and staying til park close...that's going to wear on you quickly (especially since you're driving through the night just to get there).

I totally agree...the little ones may need a break at some point. I was just there in December around this time and I did utilize the pool at our resort. It is hit or miss that time of year.

Otherwise, I like your selections. I may advise that since you say FP+ selections later in the day that you book them much later in case you need some "nap time"

Looks like a fun vacation! Your son's birthday day will be one to remember!

As for BBB, can you do that in the A.M. on MK day or on your last day in DTD? Pending on the package you want to do, figure in at least 1.5 hrs at BBB.

Thanks all!! Yes I meant later in the day as in after lunch and potential nap! Depending on how things go we may all go back and rest or just one of us take the babies and one stay with the big kids.

That was a question of mine though. If we don't get park hoppers can we still reenter the same park? Say if we went for RD, stayed until lunch then went back to rest, can we come back to the same park and reenter for our FP and dinner?

Looks like fun! You'll probably want 1 more meal on your 2nd day. The QS lunch at Be Our Guest goes till 2 and the TS dinner starts at 4 - I'd do the lunch and then dinner somewhere else.
