I'm looking for someone to determine whether there are some gross tactical errors, impossible timing, etc.
I've never been to the World. My kids (DD5 and DS5) have never been, and my husband hasn't been in 30 years.
I've been enjoying the planning process, so this may be quite detailed, but, I am fully prepared to throw this all out the window if something cool happens and I'm willing to follow the magic. I've set up an itinerary because I don't want to be that person staning in the middle of the road saying "I don't know, what do you want to do?" back and forth.
Each day, I'm ranking each objective in order, and if I can get 2 or 3 things done a day, anything else will be considered a bonus. If my kids wish to ride Buzz Lightyear 8 times, that is what we will do. We will be following the kids on this trip, not dragging them around.
Anyway, if anyone is interested in checking to see if this is possible without breaking the space/time continuum, I'd appreciate it. My kids still sleep 12 hours a day, and while I'm not sticking to bedtime all the time, I do know from my visit to Hershey Park they are not commandos and will not nap in a stroller, but they will nap at the hotel.
