Dear Meagan,
Thank you so much for visiting us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your great question for planning ahead for your upcoming
Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
With younger children, I think it's so important to plan breaks into your day. For some families, that means scheduling an
Advanced Dining Reservation for lunch so that you can change pace a bit.
Especially if you are staying on site at a
Walt Disney World Resort hotel, another option is to head back to the hotel for a couple of hours to swim or nap. That can help to "reset" everyone for an evening in the parks.
A third idea is to spend the day at the theme parks and then turn in early for the night at your Walt Disney World Resort hotel. When my children were young, we really couldn't stray from their usual bedtimes without trouble, even while on vacation.
Here is the
additional information that you requested about ECVs.
Hope that helps with your magical planning!
