    Hi there, Elizabeth!

    There is absolutely no need to hop if that is not the style of your travel party. It's perfectly fine to take it slowly and manage your time to enure that your must-dos are taken care of. But do create your priority list ahead of time! That will help you focus in on the "map" of your day.

    The later in your trip that you can push Magic Kingdom, the better, Holiday crowds begin to wane after January 1, and Magic Kingdom, often a very popular choice, empties out proportionately.

    If you can, consider Magic Kingdom on Friday, 1/4 and Sunday, 1/3, with Disney's Animal Kingdom either on Thursday or Saturday. My goal is to push your Magic Kingdom visit out without sending you there on a Saturday; Disney's Animal Kingdom ought to be fine either day.

    Check out www.TouringPlans.com. This site uses historical data to create crowd predictions for the year. That also might help you formulate your best itinerary.

    Have a wonderful time!

    See you later, celebrator,
