    we are planning our first trip to WDW. We have 3 children ages 1,3,and 7. We have dining reservations set up for each day. Where do I for planning next? Do I plan what rides we r gonna do or just go with the flow? Any suggestions would be great!

    Hi Candy,



    Thanks for writing.  You are off to a wonderful start.  Dining reservations are always what I do first when planning a trip, as they can be difficult to secure.  I would go ahead and make an itinerary of what parks you'd like to visit on which days, and take into consideration your reservations, so you aren't spending too much time travelling between parks, restaurants, etc.  I would recommend making a list of what attractions you'd like to see at each park, however, once you arrive, I would "go with the flow."  I generally don't go to the point of planning out what order we visit attractions in.  I recommend arriving at the parks as early as possible during your days at Disney.  Make use of Extra Morning Magic Hours wherever you can, especially with little ones in tow.  You'll be amazed at how many attractions you can cover earlier in the day compared with the afternoons, when the parks tend to get more crowded.



    Feel free to write back for more tips!



    Have a wonderful trip!
