Help we leave in one week for a last minute trip. We just decided to go yesterday!!! It is the first time for all of us, me, my DH, DS 9 and DS 7. We are staying at all star movies. We arrive on the 18 at 1:30 on Thursday, and leave on Monday around noon. We have 4 since day tickets, no park hopper tickets, for DW. Can we upgrade to parkhopper if we decide too? Any ideas on what we should or shouldn't see? We do have the meal plan, so any ideas there?
Would we have time to take the boys to the ocean? We live in MN, and it would be fun for them.
Your board has been a big help already. Thanks in advance for all of your help.

I am on my way out the door, but I would make sure to check out the hours and extra magic hours off of the disney website. This should help you decide which day to visit which park. Also have everyone make a list of their top 2 or 3 must dos per park that you visit. Also check out http://www.allearsnet.com/index.html for menus for all the restaurants and almost everything else you can imagine. It is a slow time of the year for Disney, so maybe getting dinner reservations won't be too hard (called ADR). You could make a few from home and possibly change or update them once you get there. We even got decent ADR calling from the hotel for the next day in June which is much more crowded.

If you are driving, you will have more time to maybe it the beach on the way home. If you are flying, I wouldn't think you'd have time. There is no way to do everything in Disney no matter how long you stay :)

I gotta run, but I am sure someone else will come along with lots of great advice!

Congrats and have a great time!
