So we are Helping out our Waitress from our local Montana’s who wants to go to Disney in October, she will be traveling from Calgary, AB. This will be her first trip and I think she will be going with her Husband and 2 children ages 5 and 8 (I know its scary we know so much about our Waitress). This will be her first trip down to Disney and we would like it make it the cost effective… I am thinking they should stay onsite for the first time and be able to take advantage of the transportation and extra magic hours. So lets get suggestions on where they should stay … and what they should do .. lets say a min of 4 nights to a max of 7 days … I would like to see suggestions on what they should do .. where they should stay … plan this if it was your own trip.
I would suggest one of the values, my fav being POP Century. Try to get down there so that they can enjoy MNSSHP. It will be busy since it looks like Free Dining will be offered after the Pin Codes have been utilized. You forgot to mention the gender of the children?
So we will continue on as if one of each Chef Mickey's for breakfast Fantasmic All things at AK! Ride the Monorail all around, try to get into the front when you do this. CRT Have a Dole Whip, Mickey Bar, Cheese Stuffed Pretzel, Emu, I mean Turkey Leg.... Watch the Water Parade from Poly Beach Do the Kidcot at Epcot Do the rides and shows at all the Pavilions in Epcot Get a PBJ shake at Primetime
Don't forget the kid stations at AK ... they get a passport to stamp around the park ... Lion King Show ... conservation station. Epcot - if the eldest is a girl, don't miss the Kim Possible adventures in World Showcase. My girls always love participating in the shows at Innoventions. They love Spaceship Earth, Test Track, Soarin', and Figment ... Epcot is their favourite park. Don't let them think it's not for kids. Oh, and shopping in "Japan." Both my girls have a Monchichi doll, just like I did in 1980! ; I agree with Chef Mickey's, but we always did it for dinner on an off-day, followed by the monorail tour. Also: Forewarn them of popular souvenir trends .... souvenir books for autographs and pics with the characters ... pin lanyards and pin collections. They should set the rules upfront for what they will allow their kids to participate in.
Already great advice in this thread. My 2 cents. Stay at POP and take in MNSSHP. Lion King show at AK a must. Night time parades at MK Fantasmic @ DHS See if they can get a PIN for dining. Early start get to a park for rope drop. Head back to the resort after lunch for some pool time. Plan, plan, plan.
LOL, she did mention she had two boys at one point Sean. Oh and they definitely want to check out MNSSHP
Now it just got extra creepy! Ok, so definately take them to DTD to eat at the T-Rex Restaurant And since they are definately interested in MNSSHP, tell them that is one less day ticket that they will need to purchase. ; Suggest that they use that day to relax by the pool, and then they can use the MNSSHP tix to get into MK at 4:00.
the 5 year old is going to get tired after a while - that bus ride to the Pop isn't so bad, but a monorail hotel might go over even better!
That is a great suggestion scratch. ; Everyone needs a day to relax. ; I can see her and her family liking Pop Century though if they can get it booked. ; I know when we visited there in December it seemed like a fun place to stay. ; I also liked the fact that you could walk to All star music, sport and movies. ; Although it was a long walk for a PG person.
