My wife and I will be heading down to WDW for our kids first visit (DD 3.5 y/o and DS 13 months old). I have been to WDW many times without kids (last visit 4 years ago), but I’m finding planning with kids to be much different. Mine Train is the only MK ride DW and I will go on which our kids cannot ride so no Mountains on this trip. My parents will be there for part of the trip too.
I recognize that with young kids, I may need to adapt my plan on the fly, but I still want to start with a solid plan.
Any input on my plans for my 2 MK days would be appreciated.
We are Bay Lake Tower and plan to mostly walk to and from MK. The FP+ and ADR noted in the plans are already booked.
MK Day 1 - - CL4 and party day so MK to close for us at 6 pm
-Eat breakfast in room
-Arrive MK around 8:40 am.
-Watch Let the Magic Begin Show

- Leave MK at 11:20 and walk to Contemporary for Noon res at Chef Mickey’s. How long does lunch typically take at Chef Mickey’s?
- DD and DW walk back to MK after lunch. DS and I go to room for his nap.

- Leave MK around 4:40 pm and monorail to Grand Floridian for 5:30 res at Grand Floridian Cafe.

Additional Notes - We are eating breakfast at CRT on our Epcot day so we will be back in the MK for breakfast only on a different day. Depending on how she feels, I may take DD to HAE on our last night at WDW (not a party night).
Do these plans seem feasible in terms of timing? Am I trying to fit in too much? Or too little? Anything I left out that you would consider a must see/do for a 3.5 y.o girl?
