start making your ADRs asap if you haven't already that's number one ! busy (but beautiful) time of year ! If you give the boards an idea of where you are staying, peoples ages going, you will be able to get more advice for your needs

We are staying at AoA. There's 4 of us going my dh, dd 9 and ds will be 8.

I am working on our list of restaurants for our ADR. There's so many restaurants that look good that I can't make up my mind.

Is this a first trip? I would pick up the book Walt Disney World with Kids and have a great time going through it and all deciding what is important to do
There is SO much and just remember you will not see it all

My recommendation for your trip must see larger than life size gingerbread house at Grand Floridian If anyone is an Eeyore fan only place to see him regularly is at character meal at CP check out these very helpful websites

and www.kennythepirate,com
and need I say any meal at Chef Mickey I highly recommend !

Hi! I'm new to the board and will be taking the kids for the first time on similar dates (12/23-28). After reading up on some tips, I got up early today (my 180 day mark) and made ADR for breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table and the B.B. Boutique. Waiting on the CP info so I can reserve that. Any other great activities to book on Christmas Eve/ Day? We are also staying at AoA. Thanks!

Hi! We'll be there for the 27 th and the 28 th before heading onto a Disney Cruise. I am also looking for tips to making it fun at this super busy time of year. We have two kiddos at similar ages-- ds (10) and dd (6)

We'll be staying at Shades of Green.

I do not like to be a downer but the first time you schedule a WDW trip it should be during a less busy time. I know some people don't have many options but the crowds and lines can really ruin your trip and you are going like the busiest week of the whole year. People get the wrong impression and then never want to go back. If you are already booked make sure you have a runner in your party. That is a person that takes all the tickets and runs to the rides and gets fast passes while the rest of the party is heading to another ride or sitting for lunch. Good luck.
