[quote=Anonymous]Just returned. Don’t take advice on this issue from anyone who hasn’t been there recently. Your ability to select lightning lines asap is critical for kids your age, who will have strong ride preferences and the ability to enjoy coasters, shows, parades, characters—basically everything.

That means staying on-site or a longer trip with more park days so LL’s can be spread out. LL booking and paying for single rider lines is the difference between hours of waiting and a relaxing trip. Don’t overbook ADRs (restaurants) because they schedule LLs around them.

**get to the parks very early with mid-morning lightning lanes. Rope drop anything you couldn’t get. Then as you use each lightning lane, immediately book the next one. It’s a pain but you won’t wait in lines and can experience so much.

Stay at Pop or AoA, pick no more than three parks and build in rest days. Changing days once you’re there is a PITA because you lose your lightning lanes.

As you select LLs, have park maps open in front of you to avoid excessive backtracking.

I anticipate the challenge with that length of stay and ages may be finding a way to fit in both early morning rope drop at MK and fireworks/starlight parade evening stuff—both are amazing and the reason many pros recommend two MK days for first trip.

If you go that route it may be worth springing for the studio at boulder ridge. It has a fabulous third bed, great design and a boat to MK—with lots of peace and quiet and an almost private quiet pool by your door.

HS and Pandora in AK are also incredible at night but, again, it’s hard to do rope drop AND evening for more than a day.

Do you know if your kids like coasters ?[/quote]
