Hi,
Need help I’m looking for a itinerary Jan30 – Feb 4. Kids ages are 5 and 8 and we are really planning not to do the water parks and Animal kingdom..
from a Stressed out Mom
My itineraries are for longer periods. This page shows how to build your own itinerary: http://yourfirstvisit.net/planning-your-first-family-trip/how-long-to-stay/other-trip-lengths/designing-your-own-walt-disney-world-itinerary/
An alternative is Touringplans.com (you have to pay a few bucks). They have recommended parks by day, and also itineraries for each park.
Hope this helps and have a great trip!!
We will be a party of five adults travelling to Orlando 21 Dec 2011. We would like to book the Candlelight procession at Epcot on Christmas Eve but how difficult will this prove? I would imagine I will have to be very quick to book and worry if I miss the date when tickets/reservations will be online. Do you have any advice?
Hi Sue!
You want to book the Candlelight Processional Dinner Package–for more, see http://yourfirstvisit.net/2011/05/09/the-candlelight-processional-and-candlelight-dinner-package-at-walt-disney-world/
The dates may first come out here: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/epcot/special-events/candlelight-processional/ or here: http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/
I’d check both every day as soon as you get up for when they are reservable…
Hope this helps!! Dave
Our family is going to be in wdw Dec 26-Jan1. 7 adults and 5 children (ages 4-10 3boys and 2 girls) It is the first trip for the children and the 2 daughter-n-laws. I am sure we will all be overwhelmed. We have reservation ot eat at Tusker house on Friday at 11:30. But we would appreciate any suggestion on what to do to make the best of our time. Thanks
Hi Mamawbud–a question for you because it affects my response–where are you staying?
