Where, what and how

[Happy Day]

OKay, the title about sums it all up. My wife and I are travelling with two small children (9&11) and staying off site from April 28-May 5. We've booked our accomodations and park passes and we've been reading like mad, and learning tons from all you great posters (thankyou all). But because this was sort of a last minute trip we need some advice.

1. Breakfast with the characters suggestions for a girl 9 and boy 11? And do you have to be staying on site to book seating with the 407-939-3463 number?

2. So far our plan is to land Thurs pm (get settled groceries etc), Seaworld on Friday and then off to DW for the rest of the week and use our 5 day passes (Sat-Wed) we fly out Thurs at noon. Advice for letting the magic build is great, ending with MK seems to make alot of sense. Suggestions?

We're all Maritimer first timers and I think the adults are more excited than the kids!
Thanks in advance.

1. You should be able to use either of the WDW toll-free lines to get a priority seating (PS) for dining: 1-800-828-0228 or 1-800-421-3732. You don't need to be staying on-site to make a PS. Check the restaurants boards for several threads on the various character meals. If it is in one of the parks, you will need park admission for that day. Based on your timing, would it be a nice finish for the trip for you to do an early seating for breakfast at Chef Mickey's in the Contemporary Resort on your departure day?

2. The incremental cost for a 7 day pass is not that much more compared to a 5 day pass. Even though you have your passes, you can still upgrade if you like once you get to WDW. Going with a 7 day would allow you to spend part of your Sea World day at WDW and your part of your arrival day as well. On our upcoming trip, we are planning to be at WDW until lunch and then heading to Sea World for the afternoon and evening. Make sure to take advantage of the Sea World Canadian-at-par deal: www.atpar.ca.

Okay, because of all of your great advice on the boards and some amazing luck, I managed to get both breakfast with M AND a PF 1900 dinner booked for the week we're all there.

You guys all rock! and you've made my little girl's dreams come one step closer to reality!

Thanks!
