Planning our First Trip

[mom2ja2]

Hi everyone,
Our first trip is getting so close! We are travelling with family, there will be 9 of us. We are staying in a vacation home in Emerald Resort.
We will be going the week of October 23.

So...this is what I have planned/booked so far.
Monday - Epcot - Princess Lunch
Tuesday - AK - Donald's Breakfast-o-saurus
Wednesday - MK - Breakfast at Chef Mickey's
Thursday - MK - Lunch at CRT
Friday - MK - ? No plans yet

Are there any places that you would absolutely suggest we go to for dinner?

Do you think we can do Epcot on Monday during the day and then hit MGM at night?

We're travelling with a 6 yr old, 2 4 yr olds and one 2 yr old.

I would just love any advice at all! If you have suggestions on a ride/show/meal we shouldn't miss...any little tip - I'd love to hear it.

Thanks so much!

My little ones always like Crystal Palace. Pooh was always big in our home.

Don't skip MGM. There are some fantastic shows there...Muppets 3D, Beauty and the Beast, Playhouse Disney, the Ariel one...Your little ones wouldn't be able to do the two most popular things-ToT and RnRC, but that's okay (yes, they're great, but all in due time!). I would seriously think of taking one of your MK days and changing it out for a MGM day. And think about Sci-Fi Dine in Theater for a lunch. Your six year old, and the four year old will get such a kick out of eating in the cars. Probably even the 2 year will too! (At least, I'm hoping my 2 year old will!)

Good Luck and Have LOTS of fun!

MGM studios- Sci fi dine in or 50's prime time cafe
MK- Liberty Tree tavern, Crystal Palace
contemporary- Chef mickey
some of these offer lunch, which is usually cheaper then the dinner menu.

Thanks so much everyone for all of your advice! We have decided to make Friday our day at MGM based on what you've told me.
Thanks again! I'm sure I'll be back soon with more questions!

Don't miss MGM. My kids love that park and they adore eating lunch at the Sci-Fi. Don't miss Fantasmic either.

One of our favorite MK dinners is either Liberty Tree Tavern (character) dinner or Plaza (really reasonable for Disney).
