We're only doing 2 park days, I'm not in any shape or condition to go on many rides (my doctor said NONE until Jon asked "Not even It's a Small World??" and she admitted she didn't know what was at Disney World and we got a laugh out of that.  We do have some good eating set up, Hoop De Doo Review [MENTION=88390]Fort[/MENTION] Wilderness, Le Cellier @ Epcot, O'Hana@ Poly, Crystal Palace @ MK... and a few others I don't think we'll make like Chef Mickey @ Contemporary for breakfast. I don't plan to be getting up too early. I'm just hoping that 70% rain for our pool days goes away! I am very familiar with FL, it rains every day in the summer in the afternoon but it's gone quickly and the sun comes back out but that's usually only a 30%.My family used to vacation here a lot when I was a kid, been going since I was two years old. I have family who live there and back in the 80's & 90's they would get us in the parks for FREE. I would stay with my Aunt for months over the summer time. It did not suck!! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  There are a TON of super beautiful resorts all over Orlando, I wouldn't worry about staying off site. There are great perks to staying on property but in truth, the "best" resorts ( and the best values) are off property. There is something to be said for planning ahead but there is something also to be said about winging it. I'm kind of a type A, so I enjoy planning, but to some degree I don't want to be planning what I am going to eat 180 days in advance. That requires you to figure out all your parks too. I am hoping with the new systems and rules that lines and reservations for restaurants will ease up a little.You are quite brave to go between Christmas and New Year's!!! lol It does stink you can only do the "3 at a time thing" though I hear now if you use all your Fastpasses you can keep getting them. But I guess you are out of luck if you Fastpassed the nighttime fireworks or rides late.  I have also heard lines for Seven Dwarfs has been 2 hours but at times only 30 minutes. So, don't give up! Go early or go late and you might be surprised.I have a good site for choosing which resorts to go on which days... do you want me to send that info to you? It might help you guys when you are planning where to go.   Most of the Mythic Spells I read where amazeballs. So excited we actually get to use some of this stuff!!! I am also a fan of Phantasmal Killer ;-)</blockquote>
