I have convinced DH and MIL to go with 4 days at a minimum (they both thought 2-3 days would be sufficient -- 
). But I keep wondering if we'll be able to do everything in 4 days or should think about 5 days considering some of the items are time sucks. DD will be 6.5 and DS 4.5 so naps likely dropped but with the pace they might need a break or two (or even a nap too!). Thinking about it sooner than later as we'll likely end up renting DVC points so would have to book early next year (and I am starting my savings now). What we are looking to do:
* BBB and Ariel's for a meal
* Jedi Training Academy
* Pixie Hollow
* some character meet 'n' greets around the park, including the standing Toon Town ones
* PFF -- DD is princess girl and DS has a crush on Rapunzel
* BTR Reindeer Roundup visit and BTR BBQ
* Blue Bayou (likely lunch or dessert)
* Fantasmic! (likely) or WOC
* Holiday Tour (3 hrs and includes HMH, IASW and parade)
* cookie decorating at firehouse (before Holiday Tour -- kids don't like gingerbread so this gives them the perfect alternative come parade time)
* Castle lighting and fireworks
* Minnie's breakfast
* silhouettes
* Aladdin show (if still there next year)
* Disney Jr. Show (if kids are still into it (likely))
* visiting Santa (probably at GCH and maybe elsewhere)
* then the usual rides around the parks
The other thing is that we would be driving over on Sunday and likely doing Knott's on Sunday to placate MIL (hoping I can fit in Goofy's for dinner though to kick off the DLR experience). So if we did 5 days, the 5th day would be the Friday before the week of Christmas so crowd levels would likely be up.
Would you, could you, do it in 4 days or 5? Any other "musts" you might add to the list? TIA!

A lot of what you want to do doesn't take that much time. That being said, you will probably end up doing your things and less rides if you do it in 4 days.
