    Great panel!! I am coming to DW 5/9-5/16 with my DH and 3 year old DD. Staying at AKL. Arriving 5/9 at 1:00 pm. Do you think it is necessary this time of year to have a sophisticated touring plan? What would you recommend for our day of arrival?

    Hello!  My family stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge last year during the same week!  I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

    I don't think you need a sophisticated touring plan, but I do think you need some sort of a plan.  Before you leave for your trip, try to have advanced dining reservations, an idea of which park you are visiting, and some "must-see" attractions.  While the park certainly wasn't at its busiest that week last year, it was still very active with lines for popular attractions. 

    As for your first day, I'm assuming you will not want to use a park ticket that day.  In that case, I'd suggest staying around the resort -- check out the pool, see the animals, and stroll around, or consider a trip to Downtown Disney for shopping and dinner.

    Have a great vacation!
