I am trying to plan a trip for my five year old daughter and us in January 1/18. I am looking for some advice and have some questions. Here is a general overview of my itnenary.
1. I have booked the beach club villas for one week 1/18-1/25. I chose this because of stormalong bay and because we are also going to Aulani in October 2025 so I thought this would be redundant to do Polynesian.
2. Here’s what I planned so far.
1/18: Arrive around midday. Ease into the trip with a day of pool and lunch at beaches and cream . Maybe take a nap and go for a walk on the boardwalk annd get dinner there. I want to keep this day low key but am open for some other non park activities if anyone has a suggestion. I thought the boardwalk seemed logically because it’s close and seems fun .
1/19: this is MLK day so I plan on making this a resort day to avoid crowds. I thought we could wake up and do cape May character breakfast . Spend some time at the pool. I think the finale of the day could be storybook dinning at wilderness.once again want to avoid parks this day but open to some resort ideas .
The two other things I have identified as things I really want to do our bippipy boutique and Cinderella dinning .
I have been running some dry runs to register and I usually wake up around 7:30 EST and I could still usually get Cinderella but I haven’t once seen Boutique available . My question is with the Dvc window what are the odds that I will be able to get the Boutique and Cinderella . In my dry run I am not waking up 6am and don’t have the dvc advantage yet. I would really like to do these things with my daughter .
Any other suggestions I would really appreciate it . We were T Disney for 1 day before and we did akershus so I know about that but I want to deprioritize it bc we already did it and I really didn’t like the food at all.
Thanks so much in advance .
