It looks like you have the first 5 days of very early starts. Probably won't be rested when you arrive either due to the excitement in last few days before travel. I have 2 teens. Mine will be 20 and 15 this summer but have been with them at similar ages. I honestly would add a lie in day in those first 5 somewhere. Otherwise you will reach burn out very fast and start to feel like you are dragging moaning teens around. It is very easy to overdo it and become completely exhausted in Florida, especially in the intense humidity. We will be Having 2 earlier starts first 2 mornings then a later one. We always over do it and regret it.

Two things to remember is in July, the heat and humidity in Florida is brutal. It will zap your strength. YOur kids may want back to your accommodation before you get to your dinner in the parks. Also keep in mind, afternoon storms are common.

You have a lot of sit down meals. When mine were that age, they preferred quicker meals and more ride time.

Thanks for your comments. For us, the kids usually get up earlier on holiday than they would at home (school holidays but not being away). Lots of people have also said that the jet lag will ensure that we're up early - and to make the most of it.

Also the comment about meals - it is difficult because the kids are not really mature enough to realise they can't do both, - hopefully by the evening they'll have used up the fastpasses and had some fun, but they do like a nice sit-down meal, and DD especially is keen to eat at BOG. TBH it's the American way of dealing with reservations that I think will be most difficult - that when we turn up at 6pm for BOG there won't be a table saying "Reserved for hallamdisneyfan" and we may need to wait for a vacant table.
