Hi there, this will be our first trip as a family (my DH and I have been multiple times as kids, but it's been 10 years since my last visit and 15 since his) and we are beyond excited and not listening to people who tell us our DS is too young. He will be 2.5 yo when we arrive, and usually goes to bed around 8 but is fine to stretch that to 830 without too much fuss, so we will prob miss fireworks, etc. We are on free dining plan. There is SO much information about disney, and when i've gone in the past, i have planned for the maximum amount of rides/attractions in the minimum amount of time, which I know isn't the way to go with a toddler. So I'm a little lost on the planning. Here's what we have right now.
So, where are the errors? What would you change? Doing too much? He doesn't watch Disney Jr so we are skipping that stuff, and he loves pretty princesses, but not enough to stand in line for them. Any restaurants you'd change? Anything I MUST do with a toddler that I'm missing? Thanks in advance!
