for a MAW trip, I would not do over a major holiday. if you are staying at Give Kids The World, a great place to stay, plan on time to do the special activities besides the parks. you are treated great and everything that can be done to make your trip great will be done. if there are other kids in the family, they will be made to feel special also. iwas on MAW trips for 2 grandsons a couple of years ago. we had some medical issues that came up while on one trip. GKTW was great to help to me. GKTW has a prearrival page that will answer a lot of your questions
