I'm planning our family's first WDW trip April 18 (Monday)- 23rd (Sunday). SO excited- and overwhelmed! My husband and our 2 kids (girl- age 5, boy- age 8) will be touring the parks with BOTH sets of grandparents Monday-Friday, staying offsite in a family friend's rental home in Clermont. Saturday and Sunday the g-parents depart and just kids, hubby and I are staying onsite (Caribbean Beach Resort) Saturday and Sunday. We fly home Monday. This means just our family of 4 can make FP reservations 60 days out for Sat & Sunday. The remainder of our trip, FP is 30 days out since we're offsite. We are touring MK on Monday, Thursday and Sunday, HS on Tuesday, AK on Wednesday, Epcot on Friday, and Saturday is a "chill at hotel pool/ head to Epcot at night" day. I would appreciate any and all advice on how to plan our days! We don't plan to take mid-day breaks and want to start our days early. How much can you reasonably see at Disney at a relaxed pace? Is it completely insane to arrive at MK when it opens and still be there for the fireworks? We don't care about the preschool-type rides (magic carpet, barnstormer) but what are the absolute-do-not-miss rides? Thanks SO much!!!
