I think it looks great! The only negative I see is that your boys will be worn out after that fishing trip and then going to the party, especially if you are going to stay til midnight. Are they doing the 7:00 am excursion? We try to sleep in when we attend MNSSHP. And we also try to sleep in the day after. It is very important that you get to DHS for rope drop if you plan on riding TSM more than once. Will you be able to get up that early after attending the party?

My sons love fishing and did an excursion on our trip last October. I think it will be in our future plans as well. I try to pick a day to do it where we weren't out late the night before and we won't be staying up late that day either.

But only you know your family if this will be a problem or not.

ADRs look great!

Thanks for the thoughts. My kids are natural early risers but I can also get them to take a nap when needed (everyday of the trip). We are going fishing at 7-9am, heading back to our hotel and will be in bed by 10am for a nap. They will sleep for about 2 hours and we will head off to our lunch ADR.

We did the same plan last year, just a different resturant and they lasted until 11pm at the party.

DHS day - we will have no problem getting to rope drop as long as we know we can not stay all day. We will get to rope drop, do jedi academy, get FP for TSM and maybe one other attraction. Than we will head back for a nap for about 3 hours. We will return that evening, use our FP, and stay late.

I am lucky in the fact that my kids rise very early and do great in the mornings. By noon they need a nap. We head back to the resort for 2-3 hours. That nap energizes them for the evening and they can usually last until 11pm. They can repeat this pattern for over a week.

Then I think it's a great plan! Have fun, and tell your boys to catch some big ones!!!
