We take our 1st trip during Christmas time in less than 10 Days! Super excited and hoping our kids stay healthy. :)

Would greatly appreciate if anyone could take a look at our itinerary and make suggestions. We are traveling with 3adults, 2yo girl, 5 and 6 yo boys.
AKV - Kidani Village
ADR's at Boma, Sanaa, Akershus, Chef Mickey's, O'hana, Crystal Palace...can't decide on another
Did FP+'s but had a lot of glitches
Bringing 2 strollers, mailing a package to ourselves ahead of time
Not sure about the weather but thinking a pair or 2 of shorts, rest pants/capri's, rain slickers for all of us and a fleece jacket for night time?
Thank you!

Sounds like you are ready to go! Have fun. We just stayed at AKL (Jambo house) and had such a great time with our 2 year old. They have some great activities at the hotel, and the pool areas at Jambo and Kidani are so great. The face painting is cute. Make sure to get an activities guide at check in. And enjoy all the holiday stuff! Our son loved Boma breakfast and Sanna lunch and our breakfast at Crystal Palace. We also loved Tusker House and Chef's de France. I am excited for you- I am sure it will be great!
 
Chef Mickey's and Ohana are great choices! Especially for characters. You can also rent strollers in the parks. So maybe you may only want to bring one and if you need a second one you can always rent it. Two strollers may get to be a bit much especially when trying to park them. Sounds like you are going to have a great time. Enjoy!
 
Keep an eye on the weather before you go. We were there one year in Dec and needed warmer jackets than the fleeces we had brought as well as gloves & hats for the kids. Especially at night it can get really cold. Also had a couple days in the 80's by the end of the week so it really fluctuates.

I would definitely bring the 2 strollers, They are great for carrying around all the layers you need at this time of year even if no one wants to ride in them. You can always park one and pick it up later when your kids start getting tired.

My kids love the breakfast at the Beach Club (love the characters in their beach attire) as well as either of the restaurants in Italy in Epcot. They also love the Dine-In Theatre at MGM although the food there is not great.

Have fun!
 

Ohana and Sanaa are both great. Try the bread service at Sanaa. Try not to gorge yourself at Ohana (but it's totally worth it if you do).
 
Looks good!! And the ADR choices are great! :thumbsup2

A word of advice on the strollers. 1 assume 1 of them would obviously be for the 2 y/o. For the other two, be aware that when tired at that age, that other stroller is going to look pretty good for both of them, even if they've outgrown them at home. Of course, you are the best judge of your kids (maybe they'll be so raring to go-go-go that the extra stroller will be only used as a pack mule to carry all the coats and other stuff, in which case, still a win! ;)), but just something to think about.

Have a great trip!!!

Consider a few undershirts. December in the morning and evening is still chilly to cold and the layers help. You can always take layers off.

Also, warm two-piece PJs may work best.

Food at the Crystal Palace (MK) was pretty good for a buffet and even had a children separate buffet area. Adult side had grilled salmon, braised kale, etc. and was very good. Liberty Tree Tavern (MK) was a good family style option also and the characters spend a lot of time at the tables.

Enjoy your time and Merry Christmas!
