Disney

We're going with our 2 and 4 year old grandkids March 22 to March 24 and staying at the Dolphin in connecting rooms. (Arriving Sat. from Ft. Lauderdale and leaving Mon. midday or afternoon) Any suggestions on a great time? We're energetic!

I took my 2 yr old in June and again this January. We had a fantastic time!

Try to get to the parks before they open, you can get ALOT done with very little waits in the first 90minutes. Don't try to do everything. Plan on a midday break back at the hotel. Some people may disagree, but I would skip Epcot completely. Try to go to a character meal, like the Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom for lunch or late breakfast, after you have been on the rides in Fantasyland. They have Pooh and Tigger that come visit you at your table. Try to see a parade, it can be tough they are usually around nap time (2-4pm). But my son loves the parades.

I have a few other websites you may want to check out before your trip:

www.disboards.com is a message board, someone will answer any possible question you may ask
www.wdwig.com has lots of info including menus with prices from all WDW restaurants
www.mousesavers.com has discounts posted

Have an amazing vacation!

I would second the character dining. We went last April with our kids who were 2 & 4 at the time and did the Ohana breakfast at the Polynesian resort. Mickey, Goofy Chip and Dale all made sure to stop by every table, did a conga line through the restaurant etc... So very worth every penny to see my little ones faces. In the parks, there were long line ups to meet characters etc.. You should call the disney line 407-wdisney, ask for the dining reservations and they will tell you all about what is avaliable for the days you are going-I would do that today as these meals can be booked up to 3 months in advance and are often full. They are priority seating v.s. reservations. It really was a highlight of our trip. Have a great time...

WIth kids that young, I'd suggest the first thing you do when you get to the park is hit fantasy land----Go to WInnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, and Dumbo as your first priorities, While most people are rushing to Splash and Space Mountain, you can do all those good kiddie rides with minimal wait!
