Leaving in 2 days....advice?

[shadowpumpkin]

We are leaving for Disney in 2 days, and honestly I have not been planning as much as I would have liked. We are going to MK for 2 days and maybe DHS/AKL for one. We have a birthday boy turning 4 and a 1 year old. We are bringing our own sit-n-stand stroller. Any last minute advice for things to bring, events going on at the parks, or anything else?
Thanks!

I have a two, eleven, and sixteen year old they all like to do buzz lightyear, peter pan, small world and winnie the poo. Also don't forget to check out the parades.

Get to the parks as EARLY as you can....especially Magic Kingdom! If it opens at 9AM, try to be at the front gate by 8:30.

Have a great trip!

Call & see if you can do a Character breakfast at MK (Crystal Palace) or DHS (Hollywood & vine does a Little Einstein/JO Jo theme breakfast). This is a nice way to occupy the kids and get yourselves a nice meal and also if you schedule it early enough it gets you into the parks at or just before opening so that you can get a head start to get to the rides that the kids want to go to.

I'll be there on Wednesday afternoon with a 1 year old as well (she'll be 1 5/2)
I can't wait! I'm expecting hot weather (forecast is calling for mid 80's) and crowds - many schools on are break.

we're leaving in 3 days, and I'm so excited. We have 3 children, and this will be their first trip to WDW. My husband and I are celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary - we honeymooned in Dixie Landings, and we're now staying in POR.

I didn't plan much, but I lucked out. A woman my DH works with is a DVC owner, and local Disney expert. She wrote out a recommended itinerary for us - it looks awesome! We can't wait.

Have a fun trip!~

Thanks for the suggestions! I am so excited! We are having breakfast at Chef Mickeys on Friday, our son's 4th birthday! Other than that not much planned except getting up early for EMH on Thursday. What time do EMH start in the morning? It says 1 hour early I think, but I do not even know what time the parks open at regularly! LOL! I am very "unscheduled" for this trip which actually feels great!

Definately look at the disney web-site for park hours & EMH day.

Also- absolutely mention your child's birthday to EVERYONE you encounter- especially waitstaff at your character breakfast. You're likely to at least get a pin and lots of unforgettable happy birthdays- if not more!
