    I agree with CC's comments. I forgot about the really little ones at the Haunted Mansion. Something to think about. Perhaps even waiting in line could be a bit scary.

    You definitely can’t see and do everything in one visit. One way to handle this is to prioritize everything - what do you really want to see & do while you are there? Here are my Top 10 Lists of Attractions.

    Tater, since you have young girls I HIGHLY recommend visiting the Disney princesses. It is well worth the wait, and unlike other character meet and greets it is set up so that each party has ample time with the characters, (and it is inside- a real plus for parents). In fact they only let 3 parties in with the characters at a time.

    Also, if your girls have princess costumes let them wear it. Disney employees are required to "greet" all of the princesses whenever they see them in the park or in the lines. Even the during the parade. It was the highlight of my daughter's day, especially when the Fairy Godmother called down from the float and the dancing characters in front came over and shook her hand.

    Cool -- I didn't know that.

    Here is a good non-Disney, Disney site -- http://www.wdwinfo.com.

    If you want to do the dinner package for the candlelight processional, you better make reservations now.

    Also, one of the fun things we do is find the hidden Mickeys all over the different parks. The kids may have fun doing that -- even our teens do.

    You can always go "free" to the Candlelight processional -- held outside the American Pavilion in Epcot. However, if you don't want to stand in line for an hour (or longer) and be able to see/hear the concert, you have to have the dining package. This will give you priority seating.

    This website gives you some pretty good information: http://www.wdwinfo.com/holidays/candlelight_processional.htm The number to call for reservations is 407-WDW-DINE (407-939-3463).

    Even if you can't get the dining deal (or discover it's no deal -- especially the dinner prices), it is still worth seeing.

    We are going after all, so I'll let you know how it goes.
