Working on planning my kiddos first trip and I’m so excited! It’s been 8 years since I was last at WDW and all the changes since then feel overwhelming!
We’re going for 6 nights/7 days in May and renting a 2 bedroom DVC villa at OKW. My girls will be 4 and almost 3 and my mom will be joining us on the trip.
Some questions:
1) Genie+ feels like a hassle-is it easier than it seems in watching videos/reading about it? Is there a video or resource that breaks it down really well?
2) We will need to head back to the resort for naps everyday…would Park Hoppers make sense?
3) Planning 2 days at MK, 1 day at HS, 1 day at Epcot…we will have a pool/relaxing day the day we arrive and also in the middle of the week. Would you do a morning at AK on checkout day (we won’t be leaving property until 2) or just do another pool morning before leaving (this would mean skipping AK altogether)?
4) Would quick service dining plan be a good pick since the 2 YO wouldn’t have to be on it? She’s a good eater and I’m thinking we could get good ‘bang for our buck’ by splitting larger QS meals between the 2 kiddos…hubby and I also like to have cocktails on vacay. Do they force kids to order off the kids menu with QS?
5) Best table service meals for younger kiddos? I'm thinking CRT and Chef Mickeys (but also considering Ohana in place of it)...
8) My oldest has suspected ADHD and diagnosed SPD…are there any accommodations she could receive for fireworks and parades (thinking of something like a quieter/less crowded space to watch these things) and also in line (she gets overwhelmed is close quarters without a way to 'hide'...could we keep our stroller with us)?
Any other things to consider that have changed since 2016 (last time I was there)?
Thanks!!
