I would concentrate on the Disney Parks and Seaworld. My kids are 10 & 11 and this will be the first trip where they have visited the Universal Parks. If the weather is OK then the water parks are really good as well.

Happy planning. :wave:

Was you aware that in order to swim with dolphins at Discovery cove they need to be at least 6 ??

They will love breakfast at the castle, need to call 180 days in advance and try to be a little flexible with which date

Hi

You are there for 12 days is that right, so be careful not to crash and burn !

The park hours are shorter at this time of year also so just be aware of that.

If you are doing DC anyway and you are pushed for time i would miss the water parks out unless you want to try Aquatica at SeaWorld.

When i was at BB in November last year the water was cold, too cold to enjoy the lazy river etc im afraid. running from slide to slide was fine though.

Also at this time of year the Christmas celebrations have started to i would plan to go and see the parade at Animal Kingdom, The Osbourne Lighst at Disneys Hollywood Studios and also check and see what nights that Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party is on. We did this last year and we loved it.

Its on until midnight so maybe have a relaxing day and hit the Magic Kingdom around 5pm ish. You will get to see Wishes at 6pm then the party starts at 7pm and you will see not only the Christmas parade but Christmas Wishes and all the the holiday shows.

Crystal Palace is a lovely meal, in fact if you do MVMCP i would possably book a meal for about 5pm, that way you will not need to eat during the party and get more time to take in the dance parties and shows etc.

Another good breakfast is at 1900 Park Fare at Grand Floridian with Mary Poppins, Mad Hatter, Alice in Wonderland as well as Pooh and Tigger. Its a lovely breakfast and the interaction with the Mad Hatter was hilarious.

Make sure you do MK, AK and DHS plus if your not bothered about doing Epcot i would consider doing Universal, Islands of Adventure is my kids favourite park. Yeah ok there are a couple of bigger Coasters in there but theres plenty for the younger kids to do.

Have a great trip.
