I posted this in the attractions and strategies forum and haven't gotten any responses, so I thought I might have better luck here. Sorry to any of you who are seeing this for the second time............................................

Well, I've read the UG book at least a couple of times and subscribed to the touring plans website trying to prepare for our first trip to DW. The plans that are available seem very well put together and efficient, but I'm having trouble deciding which ones to use.

Our group of 7 is pretty diverse. My wife and I are in our early 30's and our kids are ages 10 (girl), 6 (boy), and 2(girl). We are also travelling with my parents, in their late 50's, who will be helping with the youngest daughter.

Unfortunatley, there isn't an option that jumps out as being a great plan for us.

If it will help, here are the days and parks we will be visiting - we have priority seating several of the days, so I'd like to keep the park days the same:

Sun. 4/24 arrive in Orlando Int. at 11am and aticipate arrive at MK by 2pm where we will finish the day.

Mon. 4/25 Epcot (Full Day)

Tues. 4/26 DS (Full Day)

Wed. 4/27 MK (FUll Day)

Thurs. 4/28 AK in the morning to mid afternoon and then back to Epcot for rest of day.

Fri. 4/29 DS (planning on full day, but will be flexible if we want to go back to any of the other parks).

Now, obviously I'm not asking anyone to plan my trip for me. I'd just like some suggestions as to which plan or plans might fit. For the most part, the group will stay together, but at least a couple of hours a day, the 2 and maybe 6 year old will go with the grand parents while myself, wife, and daughter ride some of the scarrier attractions.

ANY help will be greatly appreciated. When I picked the dates for our trip, the UG book had those dates as a 3 on the crowd index and now they range from a 4 to a 7; so I'm a little more apprehensive than I was about our ability to get in as many rides and attractions.

TIA. I'm all ears. :earboy2:
 
i CAN'T HELP YOU WITH AN EXACT PLAN, BUT I CAN OFFER THIS. WHEN WE WENT IN FEB 2003, OUR TRAVEL PARTY CONSISTED OF MYSELF, DH, DD7 AND DD12mo. ALSO BOTH OF MY PARENTS WENT(EARLY 50'S) AND MY FRIEND AND HER DAUGHTER WHO WAS 12 AT THE TIME. WE HAD A LITTLE PIZZA PARTY GET TOGETHER, GOT A PASSPORTER, WATCHED THE VACATION PLANNING GUIDE, AND DECIDED WHAT WQE WANTED TO DO TOGETHER. IT WAS FUN! MY MOM WOULDN'T RIDE THINGS LIKE TT OR ToT(MY DA DIDN'T DO THIS ONE EITHER), SO SHE STROLLED AROUND WITH DD12mo, AND WE MEANT BACK UP AFTERWARD(WE HAD WALKIE TALKIES). JUST TRY TO INCLUDE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. SINCE MY MOM AND DAD DIDN'T DO PW AT AK, WE MADE SURE TO SEE TARZAN ROCKS AFTER WE RODE IT SO SHE WOULDN'T BE BORED FOR TOO LONG. GOOD LUCK AND FUN. I THINK GOING WITH YOUR PARENTS IS THE BEST. MY MOM GOES EVERYTIME AND MY DAD WILL BE COMING AGAIN THIS YEAR. WE'RE TRYING TO TALK MY INLAWS INTO GOING 2007!
