Hello Sherri!
WOW...your trip is going to be so much fun!!!! WOO HOO!
OK...Let's start with the birthday - I LOVE birthdays! When you arrive at Port Orleans, how fun would it be to have something special in the room?! To find out how to arrange a MAGICAL birthday surprise, click
HERE.
These are the step I take when I am planning my Walt Disney World Vacation:
1. Go to
www.disneyworld.com and click on the PARKS link located at the top left of the main page.
2. For each Disney Theme Park, click on the CALENDAR link located on the left side of the webpage to open up the August Calendar.
3. Since you have a Magic Your Way Base Ticket, make a chart of when all the Disney Theme Parks will be open.
4. From the chart, circle all the Disney parks that are open the latest. These will be the parks you will visit for each day.
5. Once you know what Disney park you are going to visit, then make your Disney Dining Reservations!!! To make reservations, click
HERE or call 407-WDW-DINE.
I also have some picky eaters, and their favorite restaurants are Pizza Planet, 50's Prime Time Cafe, Crystal Palace, and The Liberty Tree Tavern.
If you are looking for the BEST Disney Dinner Show, then the Hoop Dee Doo Musical Review is your answer!!!! Your kids will love it, the entertainment is great, and the food is knee-slappin' good!
I sure hope this helps in your planning! Have a MAGICAL vacation, and Happy Early Birthday!
