Getting our plans together for our 1st WDW family vaction PTR

The Cast:
Me: Lisa the mommy
DH: Joe the daddy
DS4: Tony the Mickey lover
DS2: Zander the baby of the family

When: June 14th-20th 2013
Where: WDW All-Star Movies

Background: I have been to WDW one time in my life around 1996 or so right after Christmas with my mom, step-dad, and sister and have been wanting to go back ever since. On that trip we where only ever able to go to MK and we stayed off property. We had one day to go through the whole park :(.

So now that I am older and have my own kids I want them to experiance the wonderful world of Disney. My DS4 loves Mickey Mouse and watches MMCH religously. DS2 is getting into it but seems to like Donald a little more. So plans are almost completely set we know the dates we are going, which hotel we are going to stay in, which dining plan we are going to do. Now I just need to figure out where we want to eat and which parks on what days. Oh and we are going to be doing the water parks as well.

We are celebrating several things on this trip, we are going between the boys birthdays one in May and one in July so we will be celebrating that as well as doing an in room celebration. We will be there for Father's day so guess what? Yep we are celebrating that ANNNNNNDDDDDDD we are celebrating DH, DS4, and DS2's first ever trips to WDW.

If you have any tips I would gladly listen. Athough @Alison1975 I would like to "steal" your trip cards with the ADR's and park times on them if that is ok? That was a neat idea and I believe that could be very helpful to me. I will add pics later as I am not at home on my own computer.

So Saturday evening we had a pretty big scare. My 4 yo had a seizure, the ER doctor said it was a febrile but I am mad at the doctor because the doctor only checked DS's electrolytes and no other blood work was done. Good news is that DS is feeling better and is back to his normal self but I feel lost not knowing what caused him to spike a fever so quickly.

Now on to the fun stuff, planning. So I looked it up and I have about 3 weeks before I can start making my ressies. I am still at a loss on what parks to do on what day and whether or not to do the boys birthdays together or give them each their own day. Are they to young to chose their birthday park? We where thinking Epcot for arrival day, MK day two and five, AK day four, Blizzard on day three, TL on day seven, DHS on day six, and Day 8 will be DTD and what ever park we feel like going through. Unless we allow the boys to pick their birthday parks. We will have park hoppers as well.

Maybe you should do the celebrations together? I know when we were younger that my sister and I each always got a little present on each others birthday, just so we wouldn't feel left out. If you do one first, do you think the other would feel left out? Or maybe feel like "why is he getting something and I'm not?" I know when I was little, that's how I would feel. I wanted all birthdays to be for me! lol

Sounds like you have some great ADR picks! :)
