First, you are going to have so much fun! Our DD has celebrated a couple birthdays at Disney and we're looking forward to celebrating her 4th there in May.

I recommend afternoon breaks when possible and trying to keep to a similar bedtime schedule. It works well with our daughter and we don't have too much trouble transitioning back to our home life on return. The exchange for doing this though is that she has never seen an afternoon parade or any of the night time shows.

Your dining choices look good and you should enjoy them all. I recommend making sure your daughter's birthday is noted on your dining ADR. Our daughter has celebrated at 1900 Park Fare and CM and both places gave her signed placemats and extra TLC for the birthday. We always rely on the birthday cupcake that is given but we're going to order a cake for our May celebration. Hoop is awesome and everyone is going to have a ball. DD just loved it.

As far as packing goes...I always put a set of clothes into ziploc bags for her. This is especially helpful now that she can (and loves) to dress herself. It makes getting out the door easier in the morning. We also pack those cheap ponchos for 99 cents from the big box stores for hubby and I. They don't fit DD so well so we usually just bring her rain coat - just in case. We'll carry the ponchos with us everyday and if we're certain of rain we'll bring the raincoat.

Ultimately the key is not to expect too much. Go, have fun, and take the time to appreciate things.

Enjoy!
 
I see the one day you are doing Sea World and then EPCOT for dinner. That may be a bit of an overload for your family. Perhaps do an off site dinner, or one at a resort that night or one at Sea World. You will also have to use a days ticket for that, and that kind of seems like a waste, after paying for Sea world as well. But otherwise it looks good.
Are you doing the dining plan?
 
Thanks.

We're doing the DDP so we're only using a meal ticket. Also planned Epcot for late at night because we figured after sea world we would get back at around 3 rest, and head to epcot at 6. Is this too much?

I'm not sure what you mean by that. You will still need to pay/use a day on your tickets to get in to eat at EPCOT. You can't just go in to without paying for addmission. I'm not sure if that is what you meant or not.
I think it sounds like a really busy day, but if you take a break it should be fine. If it were me though I would spend all or most of the day at Seaworld, then eat at one of the resorts instead of going into a park. Soem of the dinners you have planned also take two meal credits as well, so some of meals may be out of pocket too.

Not sure what you mean by a "meal ticket". Just to clarify, even if you are on the dining plan and use your credits to pay for the meal in Norway, you will still need to use a hopper day to "pay for" admission to Epcot for that day - probably a waste if you've already done Seaworld and are only arricing at the park at 6 PM - Future World usually closes around 7 and World Showcase around 9 - most of the time you would be eating. If your hearts were SET on illuminations, then I guess it it would be worth it to you - but I would bet you end up too tired to fully enjoy it. Of course, if you have annual passes, it doesn't matter. If you already understood this - sorry for being redundant, but "just in case" you didn't, I figured it was best to explain so you weren't surprised when you arrived at Epcot (esp. since the Princess meals have a 48 hour cancellation policy or you are charged $10 per person).
 
I am thinking it over and want to be sure you understand it too.
It looks like you are staying 6 nights.So that means you have 6 snack credits, 6 counter service and 6 table service per person. HoopDeeDoo takes two and so does the Cinderella's round table. So that takes 4 credits per person up right there and you are left with only 2 other Table service meals. I think if you do it that way, then on the Sea World day I would skip the EPCOT meal and do just a coutner serivce meal in the evening at your resort.
 
I get ya. I wasn't clear though either. I paid cash for the Cinderella meal and hoop dee doo because I didn't want to use the meals for that. I knew I had to use the park hopper for Epcot but package came with a 7day hopper so the admission part didn't matter. You might be right, may be overload for the little one though...

Any packing tips? Must haves? Leave at home?

By the way, this is so addicting. Don't know what I'll do with my time when I get back from WDW.
