    Best order of visiting parks/Best day of week for MK?

    We're going for 5 nights, 6 days, but only 4 days in parks (no park hopper). This is our first time going, 2 kids (8 and 4 yrs old). We're over a year out so we have plenty of time to plan. Is there a good day of the week to go/not to go to MK? Not talking crowd size, but more of the most...

    With the spring deal I found the standard view room to be within a few hundred of a suite at AOA and a basic room at PO. Maybe the AOA suite was not eligible for a discount? I'm not sure? We're also from Louisisna, and I don't think we or the kids would find the port Orleans resorts as...

    Do you take your kids out of school?

    We'll be taking ours out of school (second grade) in late April of 2016. Obviously, he won't be taking super important high school exams or anything, haha! But we'll get his assignments before leaving and he'll have to do them on the flight.

    We're going to book soon and just keep an eye out for discounts that we can hopefully apply. :) I think we're 100% sold on WL. Now I'm getting super excited!

    I had heard that it was a little outdated, and I thought the kids might like AOA better, with the themed rooms. Of course, I would rather stay in the deluxe ;) but I was thinking of the family as a whole.

    Yes!! That was another thought I had, going to CM and then going to Poly beach and watching the fireworks :) I want the first night to just be super magical and memorable for the kids

    Arrival day tips??

    I was actually considering grabbing our luggage and not relying on them (since I've read some people have waited 9+ hours) and I hate to not have my stuff, makes me anxious lol! Secondly, I was thinking using our FP for the parade and wishes since we probably won't ride anything that first...

    Can you see the fireworks at the castle from WL?! That was one thing I really had hoped to do on arrival day to set the tone of our vacation, but didn't know if I wanted to use a ticket for MK if our flight got in late!

    The only thing holding us back in October is it's football season and we go to a lot of games. So it'd be A LOT of traveling (and money) all at a busy time of year. However, I'd really prefer fall!

    If it was booked this year under 2015 spring deal it would only be a few $100 difference. When I looked I could get a standard room at WL for $3680 and POR $3420, but of course we won't be able to book under that rate :(

    We're thinking 5 nights, 6 days. I'm pushing for 6 nights but it's hard for us to coordinate our days off. Do they often offer spring deals? (particularly after Easter) I know there's one right now, but we're trying to decide between late April or early October to hopefully save a little money!

    With it's being our first trip, I don't want the added stress of switching. However, I do plan on us coming back A LOT, and would love to try all of the resorts eventually!

    This will be our first trip EVER to Disney myself, husband, 8 yr old, 4 yr old. We're looking at April-May 2016 Which resort?! We're deciding between AOA suite, port Orleans riverside and Wilderness lodge (looks like we could get them all for around the same price)? AOA seems a little out of...

    Arrival day tips??

    Could I use a fastpass to get into Chef mickeys if we decide last minute to go? Or fastpass to get a spot at Wishes? Sorry, I'm totally new at all of this

    Arrival day tips??

    Thanks for all your input!! I guess what my concern is, do I have to make an ADR months in advance for that arrival day if we want a table service meal, or can we decide and make it once we get there? We'll be using ME, and time change will be a factor. Not sure how energetic the kids will be...
