DW itinerary Help!

[woodsmom]

Going to DW for the first time in late January with my DH and DS (5) :) . We will be at the parks Monday morning through Friday late afternoon and are staying at AKL Villas. It is a very low crowd level every day which is great, and we are buying park hopper tickets. I need to book my ADRs on Wednesday and have an idea of where we want to eat, but I am struggling with deciding which parks to visit each day. Any suggestions on what park or parks make sense each day or other itinerary tips?? I have been doing research on all the Disney sites but my head is spinning!!! Thanks in advance!

If you know what meals you want, I would probably see what you can get dining wise, starting with your most difficult to get reservations and make your schedule from there. Especially if you have the park hopper - that will give you a lot of flexibility!

I've had good luck on our last two trips using the "best parks" guide from Easywdw: http://www.easywdw.com/category/calendar/01-january-2015-crowd-calendar/

But, as you said, it's low crowds, so don't worry too much about matching exactly.

I'm in the thick of it planning a trip for the week after yours. Visually the crowd calendar on this page made the most sense to me:

Calendar as a pdf on the right in a box called quick reference.

We usually do this order:

1. MK- electrical parade and fireworks
2. MK- electrical parade and fireworks
3. EPCOT
4. DHS- Fantasmic
5. AK/EPCOT
6. hop to do repeats or hit anything we missed- electrical parade and fireworks
