Do we get regular parking or Preferred parking? Do we park hop or do 1 day per park? It costs HOW MUCH? Racket. I'm such a sucker. Then you add in a couple of days for Universal Studios.

Ridemax is neat software.

It will plan your day for you and model where you should be when. Works really good to maximize your day. Some might say it takes out all the magic as you drag your children past a princess they want to meet to hit the ride schedule but if you want to do everything it’s awesome.
No matter what get there a minimum of half an hour and probably 45 minutes before. You want to be in line at the turnstiles at least 30minutes ahead so when they open the turnstyles you can get to the the rope you need to wait at for your first ride. Then you ride rides from open until noon. Then do whatever you want in terms of characters, parades, food etc. I’d do genie+ everyday if your kids are tall enough for those rides. I didn’t pay for single ride genies and just waited the 60 min for those rides
I liked Ridemax though because it took the thinking out of the mornings.
