Great Hotel
You picked a great hotel especially for your children.
We went with 10 yr old, 5 yr old and 1 yr old. The pool was perfect size for them. Just enough adventure for the 5 year old !
The snack bar proved to be valuable to their munching needs especially the young one.
Catch the Electric Water Parade right from the hotel beach. They loved it and we were in the room in minutes.
Ask about kid activities in the hotel and utilize them. Stories, crafts, lady bug release etc.....
Magic Kingdom - only a great boat ride away - is going to be your children's favorite park!
If you go to EPCOT, check out the kids activity spot in each country. When we went they were working on masks. At each country they add something from that country - ie Japan was origami. The kids loved it and it inspired them to go to all the countries. The crafts are organized by students from those countries. We skipped the $10 passports. We gave the students our autograph books, they stamped with passport stamp and usually wrote a nice note to the kids with something in their native language. A treasured book for the kids.
CHARACTER visits are huge! As soon as you check in - go to gift shop and buy autograph books (take a pack of bic pens - they will get lost). In the front in big letters write your child's first name. Often the character will look and make their autograph personal. Also add your street address/hotel name and room number. If lost while there it will show up at hotel. If you are gone they usually will send to the child. Look on maps for character locations. They finally got smart and made these que lines - no more pushing. Our best MM/MM/DD/GF photos were in Animal Kingdom.
If you book a character breakfast - shoot for the latest you can get. We always do and find if you are one of the last, the characters usually come and gather with you as a group. At ours at the Wilderness Lodge we actually had Goofy, Minnie, Chip and Dale all sitting at our table.
Kid swap is great at Disney, wait in line together then take consecutive rides with one parent staying with child who can not ride. Then swap. Utilize FAST PASS!
Magic Kingdom - great to eat with kids - Columbia House by Hall of Presidents. Big, lots of space and kids love the chicken fingers. Good fish, sandwhichs, soup and salad. Very reasonable.
HAVE A SUPER TIME !!!!
