    1st trip end of Sept. At AKL w/free dining. Have ADR at CM, CP, H&V, Boma and Akershus. Also booked Pirates League for both. Kids are 4 and 3. Anything else I should be doing right now?

    Congratulations on your first Walt Disney World Vacation, Corie! Although you have already booked your Advanced Dining Reservations for your table-service meals, you may want to check out the menus (adult and children's) for the quick-service restaurants by visiting the unofficial website allears.net.  I like to familiarize myself with the quick-service locations available at the theme parks we will be visiting beforehand.If you have not done so already, I would recommend visiting the Disney Parks Calendar to view the Park Hours for your vacation dates. I always create a customized itinerary based on the Park Hours before leaving home.I find that with a planning strategy in mind, it takes a lot of the stress out of park touring.You may also consider booking a Pirate and Pals Fireworks Voyage on the same evening that your children get their Pirate makeover at Pirates League. My family experienced Pirate and Pals Fireworks Voyage for the first time in May and loved the swashbuckling adventure as we sailed the Seven Seas Lagoon after enjoying refreshments and Character Greetings with Captain Hook and Mr. Smee. We loved watching the Electrical Water Pageant and Wishes Nighttime Spectacular from a perfect vantage point on the water! You can make reservations for Pirate and Pals Fireworks Voyage by calling (407) WDW-PLAY.You may want to start thinking about whether you prefer to bring a double or two single strollers from home or renting a stroller during your stay.Although we are fortunate to be within driving distance of Walt DIsney World, we find that we enjoy having our strollers with us at all times on our DIsney vacations.Please feel free to write me back with any additional questions that you may have.Best wishes for a Magical First Trip, Corie!
    Happy Planning,
    Jodie
