We had an awesome trip!. It was are first time and it included my DH, DD 5 and DS 2 1/2. The trip was a surprise for the kids. They did not know until we left for the airport Sunday morning. We stayed at FQPO, bldg 4. It was a wonderful stay. Great mousekeeping with creative towel displays with our kids toys each day. Bldg 4 is close to the bus stop and food court. I highly recommend this resort. We would stay there again. Our room was clean and the people were friendly. We were on the dining plan and did not use it to its best possible, but still got what we paid for. My DH was not on top of charging our meal to the dining plan and just signed the receipt when we ate breakfast at Ohanas. I did not catch it until we checked out and received our final bill. So we end up paying for that out of pocked. We missed a couple ADR. On the day we went to MGM I wanted to make sure we did Disney playhouse before the lines were too long and totally forgot about our lunch ADR at sci-fi. We werent real hungry any way. We also missed our dinner at Wolf Gang at DTD. By the time our boat got there and we rented a stroller we could not speed walk fast enough to the other side of DTD to the restaurant. We had a dinner at Earl of sandwich which was very good. My DH is awesome and reminded me to to get to uptight about missing the meals, we had a great time and it was worth it all.
Thank you to all the threads I read and the help from so many of you. The best advise we got was to eat at CP at 8:05 before MK opens. We did that, had a wonderful and yummy breakfast with Pooh and friends and were in Fantasyland before the park opened. We were there on as/21 and at exactly 9 am we hit the rides. Using also great advise from Tourguide Mike, we rode Dumbo, Peter Pan, Its a small world, winnie the pooh, Snow white scary adventure, Carousal, Barnstormer rollercoaster twice, saw Mickeys Phil. and rode the train before 10:30 am. We walked on to every ride. It was awesome. We went to Frontier land and adventure land for a few more rides. By lunch the kids had one all they would really enjoy. The crowds were really picking up and we had already done what we really wanted to.
The other advise I really tried to take was to go with the flow, and not get to uptight about crowds or missing things or the pushiness and rudeness of others. We had great meals. Dinner at CRT, breakfast at CP and Ohana, dinner at 1500 Park fare and concourse steak house. Plus goo counter service meals.
We hope to go again when the kids are older.
Thanks again for helping me to plan a wonderful trip.

We also love to have an 8:05am breakfast at the Crystal Palace before the park even opens.
