Christmas morning there was just a small bag for each of them under the tree. Inside the bag was some Disney stuff and a note telling them to go pack because we were leaving for the airport in an hour.

We rented a small condo for 4 days and spent 3 days at the different parks.

It was so crowded that one of the days they actually closed the gates because they were full.

However, we used the RideMax software and mapped out our entire day. It worked like a charm. The software even told us what gate to show up for in the morning that would have the shortest line and was the closest to where our first ride was at. We had one son that would run ahead and get Fast Passes for the group and then meet up with us at the next ride. We only waited longer than 10 minutes for one ride that wasn't on our original agenda.

The kids had a blast and it really wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.
