I'm not a real vet, but I am a thorough planner.

For an upcoming trip of six adults and two three year olds, I've developed
an itinerary. We hope to be able to stick to it, but realize two three year
olds could require schedule changes.

It's for seven nights and includes everything we would like to see/do.

We are staying in the Wilderness Lodge (in three rooms) and using it's boat
service, especially on our day of arrival when we are taking it to a
character dinner at the Crystal Palace in the MK. But we will also have two
rental cars available as alternate transport within WDW or even outside, if
the kids want to see something else while we babysit the granddaughters.

It also provides plenty of relaxation time, for naps, pool, whatever.

Here it is:
