My aunt is planing a trip to Walt Disney World for herself, her fiancee, and his two kids. There is the possibility of a third child going but I dont know about that at this point. The kids will be six and nine at the time of the trip, one boy and one girl. The other child is also a girl and will be around four years old if she can go.
My aunt is staying off property for this trip which is set around the Christmas/New Years holidays. I know crowds will be a pain for them during this time. I have already mentioned they look into http://touringplans.com/ and mentioned the FastPass system. They only want to do Magic Kingdom since they cant afford all of the parks and the kids will get more out of that park then all of them.
My aunt wants to book some of the restaurants when she can. She is going to make a reservation at Cinderella's Royal Table (Crown?) on her 180 days out time frame.
My questions are for any Disney fans, or Orlando people that might know;
1. What other restaurants would be a good option in the Magic Kingdom?
2. What rides or shows should they get a FastPass for and when should they get the FastPass(s)?
3. Are any of these days a "Very Merry Christmas Party" days? If so, how much is that ticket?
4. Any other tips you might have.
Thanks, Ill be checking this topic and relaying your tips to my aunt on a regular basis.
PS: When answering, keep in mind the possibility of the trip being 2 adults and three kids. Also remember, this is ONLY FOR THE MAGIC KINGDOM! I dont mean to yell, but thats what they want to do so I dont need tips for Epcot, or Universal, or anything else.
