We are going Thanksgiving week, staying at the Wilderness Lodge. We have a 7 year old boy and a 7 month old girl. I have ADRs, pretty much one per day, including two character meals (breakfast at Chef Mickey and lunch at the Hollywood and Vine).
We have 5 days in the parks, bought the water park option, but not park hoppers. My general game plan is that we will start each day together going to one park, hopefully baby will nap in the stroller or in a carrier. Then we will split up for the afternoon with one parent returning to the hotel with the baby for a decent nap and the other taking ds to the hotel pool or a water park. Does that sound good? Will it be warm enough for the water parks and/or the pool? Other laid back afternoon suggestions? Should we try to have one of us go back to the park in the evening for the parade?
First day is Magic Kingdom and second day is Hollywood Studios, dictated by ADRs. Should we try to also do both Animal Kingdom and Epcot (one day each)? Or would it be better to focus more narrowly? DS is the kind of kid who likes to do the same thing over and over if it was fun the first time.
Specific suggestions for rides, attractions, etc also welcome. DS is excited about the roller coasters, but has only ever been on really tame kiddie ones. He is tall, over 51 inches so I don't think height will restrict him from anything. DH and I are both roller coaster chickens though.
Thank you!!!
