Hi everyone. I am looking at a trip to WDW in 2008. I will have a almost 3 and almost 5 yr old. I have never been since '88 and that was when I was 10 so I never did any planning. I am looking at everything and not sure where to turn to things to do to places to stay. We where thinking 10 days but not sure if that is too short or long or what? When is a good time to go and things like that. Can someone help...

How much are you planning on spending???

for 10 days I would go with a value resort - cheaper - I happen to love Pop Century - but people with small children seem love to All Star Movie a little more...

have you seen the pictures on this site

now if you have the money - the Polyn is great - monrail access to MK - so you can just push your strollers on it.... but it is expensive!!!

Unless your 5 year is in school - I would go this fall - Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec.

I happen to love it the first weeks of Dec - everything is decorated and it is wonderful!!!

if he is in school that means during a school break. I would go with spring break (next year) unless it is Easter or the week before Easter.
then look at his calender - some schools have a fall break (great time to go) I even prefer Thanksgiving over summer.

summer in orlando can be hot, humdity and crowded... dealing the crowds is bad enough don't (unless you have no choice) add the heat.

forgot - the POFQ - Port Orleans French Quarter was designed for your age children....

it is a moderate so between Pop Century and Polyn

hope this helps~

well i was looking at the movie type themed not only cause we stay that long it will be a little cheaper but cause of there ages. i figure we are looking at going in 2 yrs so to have the money then we might upgrade cause we will have a ton of money then. i just want the kids to have the best time and to get as much out of it as possible.
