    Mary,

    I am more than glad to help you with your planning! Let's take this one step at a time. Feel free to send more questions after you read this, with each question covering a different area of planning, as you see your needs arise. Provide details on cuisine likes/dislikes, and any characters or activities the kids like.

    So let's start off with what to do on your first night. I love this planning! I never rush off to a park, but instead focus on three things: relaxation, exploration, and something to kick off the trip in grand style! What do I mean?

    Relaxation: If time allows (your arrival time may not, unfortunately), grab some pool time and a leisurely lunch.

    Exploration: Get to know your resort, and enjoy the theme of the place.

    Kick it off: Start off with a fun, festive, and delicious dinner. Where should you do this? Here are a few of my favorites;
    • Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show
    • Whispering Canyon Cafe
    • Hoop Dee Doo Review
    • Chef Mickey's
    • 'Ohana

    I am glad to make other suggestions, just ask!

    So send me more questions, and we can take care of this!

    Have a magical vacation!
