DH and I are heading to WDW with our boys (6 and 8) next week - first time for all of us.
I just managed to snag a reservation for us at BOG at 8:55 our first morning. I'm not sure though what is a better way to start our trip - breakfast there, or rope drop and the "let the magic begin" thing plus access to rides before it starts getting crowded. I'm hoping for an earlier time to free up, or to schedule lunch there one day, but so far no luck.
Also curious just how crowded the parks will be on low crowd days (and thus, how important it is to maximize morning hours on rides, versus dining). Touring plans has pretty short waiting times, so maybe I don't need to be obsessive about planning as I fear I may be. All these trip reports of people only managing to ride a few rides are scaring me, but maybe that's just not the situation in mid January???
