Don't know if we should do MK on first Sunday we are there, DD3 has been reminding me for 6 months that I would take her to Disney.

Has anybody been this time of year and know the park wait times.

Maybe revise it yourself first by deciding where/when you want to go? Are you shopping at all?

[dgfarrell]

Yes I think we will be as we will be expecting number 5 in November. Last time we went we lost the car in one of the mall carparks it took an hour to find it despite walking round the carparks twice.

I have now at least come up with some ideas just from reading trip reports etc. Will post it back here once I am happy with it. What is the setup with the "Breathless" cruise and parking at a Disney hotel. Do they mind if you just turn up to eat at resteraunts for Breakfast etc.

Disney encourage off site guests to eat in their resort hotels and brekkie is no different, I think you can often park at the hotel while eatting there on a 3 hour permit, unless it is a really slow time of year.
As for Seaworld have you thought about Dine with Shamu for your anniversary as it would be good for the kids as well? I am sure DIBBers ahve posted some reviews of this.
Best bet is avoid waterparks and MK at the weekend as locals tend to visit.
Happy planning :)

Would really recommend going on the "resorts" monorail and get off at the Contemporary resort and Grand Floridian for meals. The Grand Floridan cafe is a great place for a celabratory meal (make sure they know if it's someone's birthday).

Are you planning to visit all four Disney parks? Only ask as you haven't put them all down yet on your itinerary. With the kids of the ages you've got, I would definitely suggest a midday break which will work wonders with energy levels for the afternoon.
