Hi Jenn,
Thanks for the nice thoughts; we all feel so lucky to be able to help guests with their trips to WDW. To help with itinerary planning, I really like the website www.touringplans.com. It is from the people behind the guide book
The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World, and it offers over 100 thoroughly researched itineraries to help make the most of your days at the parks. While it does have a small cost, I think it is well worth it. If you'd prefer to go another direction with your planning, just send another question our way.
Just an fyi, the window for you to begin booking your advanced dining reservations begins on September 5, 2011. If you are staying at a Disney Resort, you'll be able to make reservations for your entire trip at that time.
Cinderella's Royal Table (dine inside the castle!) and
Chef Mickey's are restaurants that book up quickly if you want to begin there.
Thank you for visiting the Moms Panel; please let us know if we can help again.
