    ADR Strategy

    Will the system allow me to make two ADRs for the same time (i.e. two parties of 4?)? Or how do I do that? Thanks, I knew it was under refurbishment, just didn't know it would be closed through winter. I'll take that one off my list.

    Strategies for a happy family?

    We are going for 7 days (minus two travel days) and have 4 park days planned, one "rest" (DS, resort) day planned. I guess it's good it's our first trip because the kids don't have any major demands- this will all be new to them. I like the idea about separating if we need to.
