Hey all,
I'm a newbie to these forums but not the parks as I used to work at EPCOT in the early 90's. (American Adventure host, was super cool) I'm looking to plan a trip to WDW soon and trying to gather as much information that I can before pulling the trigger. Below are some questions specific to us that I haven't been able to answer on the forums that I hope you can take a moment to help with?
1) Trip will be me (35) and my son (5), are there ways to hookup with other guests for activities and such? I'm not looking to leave him in daycare or such, just looking to add some people to have fun with.
2) I view our typical day as: Get up around 8, get breakfast, hit a park (MK mostly, followed by AK and then MGM) for a few hours, back to the hotel to rest/pool, and then back to park for evening rides and a show and/or fireworks. Don't want to wear out my son too badly, so want to schedule downtime. Does this sound right? What am I missing?
3) I can't figure out where to stay. The room itself is not really important to me. I'd like easy/quick access to the parks, nice pools, and perhaps another activity or two available. Access to character meals? Thinking Moderate or the low-end of the upper hotels. Don't want to pay a fortune, but want a good time for us without hassels.
4) He's not a big fan of loudnoises, so usually wears headphones or something when at loud events like fireworks and such Anyone have any ear protection options for a little boy?
5) Although I'm in charge, this is my son's trip, so I'll be looking to go where he wants to. What's a good ticket option for us to be flexible as possible? Thinking 3 or 4 days for park visits, with maybe 1 other day to rest/chill out.
6) Is it too late to get a decent booking for a May (Regular pricing) trip?
Appreciate any help, looking forward to setting up this trip!
