    My 71-year old parents & I are bringing my 5 year old daughter (turning 6 while there!) & 7 year old son to Disney for the 1st time Aug 14-21, staying at the Contemporary & did NOT get the hopper pass. Can you help plan an itinerary of parks/r

    Hi Roger,

    What memories you'll be making traveling with both your parents and your children!  Itinerary planning can be an overwhelming experience, and I have found a website that can be incredibly helpful with the planning, especially to help you make the most of your day:  www.touringplans.com . It has a wide variety of itineraries to choose from that are all well-researched and brought to you by the folks over at the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World, one of the most comprehensive tour books. While it does have a nominal charge, I find it well worth the investment. 

    Since you don't have the park hopper option, I would encourage you to avoid parks with Extra Magic Hours because of the extra crowds there. 

    I hope you find the website as helpful as I have.  If you'd rather go for another option, please don't hesitate to let us know with another question.
