[quote=Anonymous]We've gone three times- going back in November.  6 and 9 yr old kids--First and foremost.... Have a positive happy attitude and don't be uptight crazy parents. I think Disneyworld is the happiest place in the world FOR KIDS vacation.  My husband and I love it, too and we are botH type A working adults ( the type that usually bitch about kid vacations).   We love everything about it!! Everyone will offer different advice and Have different ideas on what makes it fun. For us, planning a TON ahead of time is essential.  We stay on property at deluxe resort because I don't want a million people at Resort. The budget ones are more crowded. However growing up, we stayed at Caribean Beach and I remember loving it!!! But we can afford deluxe now and choose to stay at less crowded spots.  We are early risers but for us, earlier you get there, better. Fewer crowds at Magic Hours. However, we haven't arrived at 10 or so so maybe getting there Later works better for some.  I plan the parks and the meals Only!!! Once we get in parks, we play it by ear. We always do park hopper, although not sure why! Little kids do fine with one park a day. We ALWAYS do food plan. To me, it's essential. It's the best way to not feel nickeled and dimed. I would recommend to everyone. My kids dont care about Animal Kingdom anymore but I think it's great. Tusker  House character meals are Great!!  I don't like Hollywood studios but they do. 
  I agree with poster that packing in 10 houR day to get your money's worth is disaster. 6 hours and all smiles is worth more! Don't overdo it. We always leave parks around 4.  Swimming At resort is highlight for kids. Take time to enjoy that. Swimming- pizza by the pool and an ice cream cone tops right up there with favorite paRt of Disney.  I think 4-5 days is enough total. I don't waste day or money for watermarks. We can all do that at home.  Enjoy the parks, swim at your hotel and be positive parents. Your kids will think it's as magical as you make it!
  We put business card in our kids shorts or pocket so they can Hand to a "mommy" if they get lost.  [/quote]
