! (And if you're anything like us, you'll need another holiday when you get home. )
Thanks everyone, I'll try and answer the above lol.
We're staying in the Disney Resort, 14 days, we have the memory maker and park tickets for 14 days, all booked through Disney.
We don't have a dining plan as my eldest is a pescetarian and can be quite fussy, my youngest will eat anything.
I've got my self an excel spreadsheet with all parks listed for each day, we've booked in a few Character dining slots and made sure they are local to the park we do that day. We have planned in a pool day on the 1st week, but we've left the second week pretty much open in terms of restaurants etc.
Value for money is a big thing so any tips on places to eat that are on the cheaper side will be great.
Our flights out are MAN-Germany Frankfurt, 2 hr wait then Frankfurt to Orlando.
We've done the ETSA, is there anything else we need to do? We fly united airlines, are they good?
Thanks again.

Highly recommend this book too, was an invaluable read when we went last year (off site). Used the Alamo car rental discount code it included too for cheaper rental .We went this July/August for a couple of weeks; the best piece of advice is plan, plan and plan!
This book is invaluble (although there'll probably be a new version out next year)

Get your fast pass slots in early in the day so you can 'top up' later on.
Don't try and do an entire park in 1 day, you can't, not with all the evening shows/fireworks.
Thanks everyone, we were supposed to get free dining but as we booked the first two weeks in April school holidays we didn't qualify.
I emailed and complained and got a $400 gift card and room upgrade
We plan to book the fast passes as soon as we are allowed, we've got the app too.
From a photography side of things, what did you all take? I'm defo packing my macro gear for the jumping spiders over there, do I need to be taking a 400mm for animal kingdom etc etc.
I know I should be enjoying the moment with my girls and wife, which I will do, but the tog in me will be constantly looking at potential photographs[/QUOTE
For this reason alone I left mine at home To be honest I really couldn't have carried it around all day in the heat and humidity.
Think I may stick to the 6D, MPE, Venus 2:1, lighting, 17-40 and the 85mm. I can take all that on the flight with me.
I was debating the 70-200 for the parades
Oh, and Dole Whips (I think in Fantasyland) are amazing. My son who was 7 loved Kennedy too.
I've flown ex UK, and all over the contiguous US with United....never had an issue.Let me know how united are as flying with them next year.
Awesome place, many a breakfast on route to Disney in there. Nice big pancakes, bacon and syrup . And the Golden Corral for buffets which are amazing and endless.We found cracker barrel excellent value, all home cooked food, alas no liquor license

Only ever went for the breakfasts but ended up with a dancing Halloween Snoopy thing from their too!Agreed their breakfasts were awesome. Their evening meals were really good too if you didn't mind not having alcohol.
