Are you staying at a hotel on Disney Property or off site? If you are staying on site, the best piece of advice i have is:

- ARRIVE EARLY and go back to the hotel around 1:00 or 2:00 for a mid-day nap.Getting there before opening is the most critical key to enjoying rides and/or meeting characters before lines get unbearably long. The more you wait in line, the more miserable everyone gets - and this is amplified with children.

- The midday nap is essential for everyone to recharge, especially if you want to arrive early to beat the lines and stay late to see the fireworks show. An hour or two in a cool, dark room does wonders for your energy and patience levels. The middle of the day (2-6 PM) is the hottest and busiest part of the day anyways, so you aren't missing much. Even if returning to your hotel is not feasible, go find a dark, air conditioned show like the Hall of Presidents, Carousel of Progress or Ellen's Energy Adventure where you can sit and let the girls nap for a bit. Take in two shows in a row if needed.

- Pack snacks and refillable bottles for water. It will save you tons of money. You can refill your bottles at the drinking fountains, but any quick service restaurant will also give you free cups of water that you can dump in your bottle.

- There is another excellent Princess Dinner at Akershus in Norway at Epcot. They have great, unique food and it's a great way to meet several more princesses.

- Use your Fastpasses! You can book a few rides/shows/ character meets ahead of time to skip the line save a ton of time.

Let me know if you have any more touring questions. I hope you have a great time!
