HI Danielle,
First, you have lots of time before your trip, so don't worry. And we are here to help; you can truly ask us hundreds of questions if you'd like!
Have you ordered the
free planning dvd yet? If not, that will be helpful. I'd also encourage you to begin visiting several websites for more information and updates. Some of my favorites are www.allearsnet.com, www.disneyfoodblog.com, and the
Disney Parks Blog. To help with the planning of how you spend the days and the must-sees, I think very highly of www.touringplans.com. It is a website that offers an incredible amount of information to help you make the most of your days at the parks. While it does have a small cost, it is a worthwhile investment in my opinion.
You will want to mark the following date on your calendar: May 21, 2012. This is the day your can make your first day's worth of dining reservations. By studying the
Disney Dining options, you should have a good idea of where you'd like to dine. Character dining is quite popular, especially
Cinderella's Royal Table and
Chef Mickey's. If you'd like to dine at either of those, I'd try to make the reservations right away. Reservations can be made online through the above links or by calling 407-WDW-DINE.
I hope this helps you to feel more reassured about your planning and get you pointed in the right direction. Again, please don't hesitate to ask us more questions!!
