Ok, let me tell you where I'm at...
WDW trip in 11 days...
I've been 12 times since I was a kid, last time in 95, LOVED every time. My wife was been once, one after noon, with a stepdad who didn't want to be there, not fun.
We began planning a year ago to take our two girls (now 4 1/2 and 6 1/2). We are staying 5 nights, 4 days in the parks. (Nowhere near enough time, but that's another arguement.)
We are staying at the Wilderness Lodge. Have booked the Hoop-de-doo, Cinderella's Magic Breakfast in the castle, and just about every priority seating I could find.
So from that standpoint, I'm prepared. Here's where I've fallen short...
I've always been there when the park was open from like 8-midnight. After lunch, we'd go back to the hotel, take a nap, swim (maybe), and head back to the park shortly before (or after) dinner to enjoy the rest of the night.
Well, this is the first time that I will be going to WDW when the hours are from 9-7pm. No E-Nights. The problem is, do I trek back to the hotel for a nap and kill a good bit of the day? I've booked our priority seating dinners AFTER the parks are closed (8:15-8:30pm).
Please help. I can't decide whether or not to keep my little ones up all day or take a trip back to the room. Any input is welcome.
