Hi, Tanya! What an exciting vacation you have ahead of you! While there are countless options, here is a tentative plan for your family. Whatever you choose, make sure to make Advance Dining Reservations at (407)WDW-DINE.
8/22: Settle into resort and make late dinner reservations for Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary
8/23: Animal Kingdom with breakfast at Donald's Safari Breakfast
8/24: Magic Kingdom with dinner at the Crystal Palace (hosted by Pooh and his friends)
8/25: Epcot - choose your favorite country for lunch or dinner! My family likes Teppan Edo in Japan.
8/26: Hollywood Studios with lunch at either Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre or 50's Prime Time Cafe.
8/27: Bon Voyage! Enjoy your cruise!
Check the calendars on
www.disneyworld.com to see if you want to change the order of the parks to best suit your choices of fireworks, parades, extra magic hours, etc. All the dining locations I listed are nice options for families, but do require you make your advance dining reservations.
Enjoy WDW and your cruise!
