No question is a stupid question right?

[Niknak0320]

We're going to be in Disney the week after Thanksgiving and I had a few questions : )

First, what will the weather be like?

Second, a 3 day hopper pass is included in our trip package - what does this mean? Can we (theoretically of course) visit 3 parks a day for 3 days? I'm not sure I understand how it works and I know I better find out so I can pencil in my itinerary! LOL

Third, is the experience the same at CRT any time of day? One day we have reservations for 4 of us for lunch but another day we have reservations for all 10 of us for dinner. Will our kids see characters are each meal or is it only at breakfast and lunch?

Fourth, what parks/attractions are a *must not miss* for a 5yo DD and a turning during the trip 3yo DD? Including things we should do for our dd's birthday?

I've been reading the boards for a month or so now so I'm diligently making a list of pointers but since this is my first time there with kids (I went with a former boyfriend over 10 years ago) I want to learn as much as possible.

Thank you so much in advance to anyone that can help me out!

1. It could be warm, it could be cool. Bring a sweatshirt or light sweater just in case. The days will be 70-80F and the nights 50-70F.

2. With a hopper, you can hop to all 4 parks in a day for 3 days if you want. For example: EMH morning at MK, lunch at AK, afternoon at MGM and fireworks at Epcot all in one day, if you dare What a hopper means is just that. You have the ability to move from park to park as many times as you want and only use one day's ticket.

3. Lunch at CRT has characters. It's pre-plated meal which means you will get a plate of food brought out to you. Dinner is non-characters and is ala carte which means you choose your items from a menu like a regular restaurant.

4. MK will probably be the kids' favorite - especially Fantasyland - Pooh's Playful Spot is a great place for them to run around. MGM will be next with all the shows they have - your kids will love Playhouse Disney here and Voyage of the Little Mermaid.
Get a birthday button at City Hall at MK or guest services at any park, get her hair colored at the MK barbershop is also very fun.

Most importantly: Take a deep breath, relax, and have fun!

3 day hopper: yes, you could do what you said, any 3 days you're there (like if you're there for 5 days you can pick which days you want to go) you can go to as many parks as you want. We had hopper, but never hopped, though with only 3 days we probably would have.

CRT has characters for lunch , but, correct me someone else out there if I'm wrong, not for dinner.

for your DDs......I went with a 6 yo DD.......Pooh ride, dumbo if you get there first thing in the am (aladdin is same thing, probably less line), DD6 loved Astro orbiter, and buzz lightyear too. your 3 yo may LOVE the characters or hate them, if she loves them, go with that! Goofy's barnstormer would be great for both I think. All I mentioned are at MK
I'm sure you'll get lots of other answers here too!

If you go to MGM the playground, Little Mermaid show and Playhouse disney, as well as Fantasmic would be great for the kids (mine also loved the Beauty and the Beast show).

Have a great trip!

We were there that that week 2 years ago and it realy was pretty cool. It got COLD one night. It never got warm enought that I wanted to swim but DS did once or twice. We wore jeans and sweat shirts most days. BUT you can never tell. Best friends just returned for what is most often a very comfortable week and found it really HOT and HUMID.
Think layers!

With a 3 day hopper I would visit one park each day and then hop over to Epcot in the evening.Most kids love epcot and it stays open later that other parks!
