You're gonna have a blast. My wife and I took our 5 year son back in November and had a great time. RIJimmy gave me some great tips that I'll share with you.
Get the Fast Pass for the really popular and new rides. It'll save you a ton of time and waiting in line if the parks are crowded. Also, check which parks have extended hours on certain days for people who are staying on Disney property. It's much less crowded during the extended hours. Also, if you want to see the parade or fireworks at Magic kingdom, stake out your spot early. Most importantly, be ready to do a lot of walking.

Out of curiosity, which courses are you playing?

I played Magnolia and Lake Buena Vista 6 years ago. Magnolia is probably the best course I've ever played. They do a real nice job on the courses down there.

That is awesome Cappa...I love all those parks, have been to all multiple times.
The only advice I have is wear good shoes and enjoy yourself.

Thumbs up

MC

have a great time /bring money

I went last week with my kids & grandkids /figured it might be the last chance to do so .

we also stayed @ the broadwalk ;;;sweet

the large, kids pool is closed & being worked on . so they let you use the adult pool . we went there for a couple of hours & you could tell little kids weren,t wanted ;;

yes fast pass

it was below average weather ..which was great for me ......................... BUT no T & A ... actually not even many shorts.............. F#$%^&*() people has long pants, jackets , hoods , gloves , scarfs ,. funny as hell .

but the plus was / because of the cool weather & one day drizzley ......... the parks were not even close to crowded ..some rides & things had no wait at all .

also right about the fireworks & parade @ disney land .. mark ya spot & carry a club,

the only thing that bothered me was ........ the other times I,ve been there / it could get crowded & there was some organized /orderly pushing to move into a place . this time there were many more just plain crude & rude people .
My son said last year they went with part of his wifes family / & they went there to see the halloween parade & fireworks ................ he said it came VERY close to [take to the alley] ;;

best time to go to downtown disney is a weekday /1st thing in the morning ........... mostly everyone one else is at one of the parks .. don,t go on a Friday /Saturday night .
people that get in mid saturday or are leaving Sunday .. go then ... add that to the weekend club crowd .which are tourest & locals & its a cluster F $%^&*();

If ya h:jump1ave young kids ya have to reserve breakfeast with the disney characters . its in huge hotel directly across from the broadwalk / just take the boat over




HAVE A GREAT TIME ><><><<>< E N J O Y

ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE !!!

MIKE

Wow, thanks Clam and everyone else. This helps alot. Weather looks like it's going to be in the mid to high 60s maybe 70. I hope to see some shorty shorts and a little T&A would be nice but hey it's a family trip!
