[quote=Anonymous]I get why your DH wants to do this. We did it with ours any they ended up liking it.

Anyway, here's what to do:

Get on Disney.com and find a hotel you like. Some are on the monorail = easy to get to the parks, and the rest have free shuttle buses. If you book the hotel on their site, they also offer park tickets as part of your reservation, at a discount. You also get early entry to each of the parks. Do _not_ waste your money on Park Hopper. Each park has enough to keep you busy all day, and you can go in and out. This is also the benefit of a Disney hotel with easy transport back -- your 6 year old is going to get tired after lunch from sensory overload, and will need a break. Disney's open until 9pm each night, so come back again after an afternoon hotel rest.

If you want 3 days at the park, then do 2 days Magic Kingdom, and 1 day Epcot. Skip the others and come back another time for those. Your DH doesn't have memories of the other parks anyway, as they didn't exist when he was a kid.

Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrive mid-day. Relax at hotel pool.
Days 2-4: Wake up and have breakfast at hotel, then head straight to the park for early opening hours. Do the rides you really want first -- shorter lines when it opens.
Day 5: Fly back mid-day

Don't rent a car. It's cheaper to get a car service/Uber to/from the airport, and less hassle. You never need to leave the Disney "area" if you are staying at a Disney hotel.

The restaurants within the parks can be nice, albeit a little pricey (it's Disney). The food is surprisingly decent. If you do a restauratn, make reservations in advance. This will avoid meltdowns when kids get hungry as you know you've got a place to sit down, rest, and eat. Some of the restaurants have cool themes like outer space or winnie the pooh, so your kids may like certain options. You can reserve the restaurants in advance on the disney site, based on your hotel reservation.

Done. Thank me later.
