    Hello, I am planning a large family vacation(15 people ages 2-56). It will be the first trip to WDW for the majority of the group. I want to make it very special, how do I find out about extra hours at parks and the must do activites without being overwhel

    Hi Sarah,

    I think I'd encourage you to take a look at www.touringplans.com, which is a highly researched website brought to you from the fine folks behind the tour book The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World.  Within this website is over 100 itineraries that will help you to identify the must-sees and must-dos along with detailed plans that offer suggestions as to what order to visit the attractions so that you are making the most of your days at the parks.  It also suggests what parks are best to visit and best to avoid on specific dates. While it does a small cost, I think it would be a worthwhile investment since you are traveling with your family.  

    To find park hours, just click here.  You'll see the Extra Magic Hours listed with the dates. 

    Thank you for visiting the Moms Panel; please let us know if we can help again.  We all know how overwhelming it can be planning a WDW trip and are glad to help with as many questions as you have.
