Thank you to everyone who replied!!
We plan to go Nov or December 2019. We will definitely do the Christmas party so that was going to be our half rest day. I like the idea of half days if it's not much more ticket price.
This past trip we opened and closed the parks almost every day. We had extended family there too but they only did partial days.
Our daughter napped in her stroller during the day and in her carrier at night (people were surprised she was sleeping on me during Happily ever after lol).
I realize these trips are more for my husband and I but my daughter LOVED it. We had 2 character meals so we could avoid character lne but she loved them so much if we saw someone out we waited in lines. She was so excited meeting Mickey and everyone else! Mickey is her favorite. She was not happy when he left.
She also went on nearly all the no height restriction rides and loved them. She would clap at the end (and middle). Lol. We were very lucky that she had no major meltdowns. If she started getting cranky tired I just put her in the carrier and she fell asleep. It was definitely Disney magic. Lol
Our original plan was to wait until she was older for our next trip, but she loved it so much we want to do one more trip before she turns 3.
Thanks again for all the replies. We will need to decide if we want to do half days or 2 days on 1 day off. My weekend idea is out.
Since it will be the holidays,I think we would have plenty of non park things to do looking at resort decorations.
We are hoping our next trip will be more relaxing than exhausting.
