Same dilemma here.!!! 1st timers...me, dh, dd-3 1/2 y.o, ds 7 y.o. It'll be our 1st time there, we're going for 8 days to WDW, 5 day cruise on RCCl and 2 days at SW, staying off-site and renting a car. I think since it's our 1st time we may forgo the park hoppers as we will spend alot of time in each park. I've been there as a child but dh and kiddos were never there. We'll be addding the plus (waterparks etc.) So I figure even if we leave AK or MGM early we could go to DQ or go back to hotel and swim, rest etc. I figure if we do get tired on a day we're at MK we can go back to the hotel and rest and then go back to MK later, I only hope there's still parking left,(although the place we're staying does have a shuttle, so we could try that to.) That being said, if we go to AK for the day and make ADR at say, Chef Mickeys at the Cont. can we go to CF even though we were at AK?
