WDW Logistics help...

[Jigs]

Hoping for some help from the WDW pros out there......
We've been voraciously reading every trip report, tip and morsel of planning advice on this board (and others) since August. We bought "The Unofficial Guide" and read it cover to cover.
All that and we can't figure this one out on our own.

We have a ps a Cindy's castle for 10am and we want to utilize early magic hour at MGM on the same day.
We are staying the GF.
What is the quickest way to get from the GF to MGM?
How many rides can we take in? We are hoping for the RnR roller coaster and ToT.
How long does a breakfast at Cindy's usually last?
What is the quickest way to get from MGM to MK?
Is a taxi an option?
We've only got 4 days and our Cindy's breakfast day is our eldest dd's 10th birthday. A big one, so we want to make sure that we can fit in the things that she is most excited about without cutting it too close to the wire.

Thanks for your help!

I know some people have already been the voice of reason, so I'm going to try to be...reasonier... :veryconfu

It sounds to me like you're really gung ho on seeing as much of the park as humanly possible, and I can certainly understand that. I think everybody here has "been there."

But you're going down with at least 2 kids. Everyone's going to get tired at different intervals. Unless the parks are positively dead when you go, there's a very good chance you won't come close to seeing everything you want to.

I'm not trying to dampen your spirits, but if you go into WDW knowing that it's likely some things will have to wait for another trip, it won't be disappointing if that turns out to be true.

Savor each attraction you ride, each meal you eat, without thinking about getting the most bang for the buck. And if anyone in your party is getting tired, then rest...except for you, of course. You'll have to take one for the team. Only rush around if your kids are that excited, and even then try to temper their enthusiasm so they don't burn out later. If they're really into one particular park (or even a section of one park), be prepared to dump any plans you had to give them what they want. Oh, and did I mention DON'T RUSH? Not unless you absolutely have to, anyway (you're running for a PS, and if you're running for a PS, start leaving for your PS earlier, dang blast it). You'll see less, but you'll have fewer hassles too, which will make the vacation inifinitely more enoyable for all.

Don't rush!

We did 3 parks in one day, but we didn't have little ones. :hammer:
Take your time and enjoy Magic Kingdom. Check out all the shops on Main Street. After the breakfast, then go like crazy.
