Take a look at my January 2010 vacation outline

[tatemiak]

I hope I am posting this in the right place because I am new to the boards...and new to Disney! My family of 4 is planning a January 2010 vacation to Disney World to celebrate our daughters' 4th and 8th birthdays. Wanna take a look at our plans so far and tell me what you think? We don't want our trip to be super planned out, so my outline is pretty basic and still has some big holes in it. We will be staying at Pop Century and in the parks from Sunday, January 10 through Saturday, January 16. We are on DDP. I'm worried about crowd levels because we will be there between the marathon and the MLK holiday. Remember, I'm new at this so please be honest and help me out.

morning/afternoon - Animal Kingdom (watch AK parade)
dinner - 6:30 - Chef Mickey's

You are right in the middle of my holiday...lol. We will be there the 7th to th 21st.
I like your idea of doing a favorites day or two at the end. My dd will be 8 when we are in the world.
Our first night we are going for dinner @ CRT.
If you have hoppers, maybe consider doing a morning @ MK and late afternoon/evening @ epcot. It will give you a break from all the 'rides' of MK and into some more sit down shows.
