Some advice needed

[RivaLJ]

My DS5 and I are going to WDW 8/21-29. We are going with a friend and her 2 children ages 4 (boy) and 11(girl). We are sharing a room at the Polynesian.
The children's father will be there at the time but staying elsewhere (that's another story ) . He will join us at the parks.
What ground rules should we set? One of them is to be at the parks at opening.
I am up for ideas.
Thanks!

Will he be staying in the same resort, just different room? Or a different one all together?

Maybe the kids will want to stay with him on some of the nights?

I would Pick a place to meet up and time.

Make breakfast, lunch, dinner reservations some or all of which he will join in on.

Figure out in advance which rides he'll do with the kids, so there is less confussion in the parks.

Maybe he'll have some things he wants to do with the kids-such as pool time or beach time, renting a boat, etc. plan for that.

Thats all I can think of.
