    You are brave! I would say the most important thing is to remember they are all small children. You should not and cannot try to pack in every last attraction at the parks. Take it easy. Take rests. Let the kids choose what they want to do. I don't know how many times I have seen families attempting to have the "perfect vacation" and "don't miss anything" who end up yelling and screaming in the parks at their kids. They will have a blast just running around, so don't try to overschedule. Go back to your hotel and take a nap! Sometimes crowds will seriously clear out in the very late evening, so you could let them sleep late and then stay at the parks until late.

    Above all, go with the flow!

    Both mom and dad are going? You may need to split up. one take the 2 and 4 to the pool and the other go on more rides with the 6.

    make sure to get a stroller for both the 2 and 4. you can rent large ones at the park.

    Don't be surprised if the kids are done in just a couple of hours. Disney is very noisy, very over stimulating. Kids this young can overload fast. I have seen too many young kids at disney over tried, over heated and crying and their parents refusing to leave because of the cost and effort it is to go to disney.

    honestly I would wait another two years before you go. but since you are-go to your public library. there are books on disney for young families.

    Use fast passes as much as possible. You can receive a fast pass even if you aren't staying on property. Plan naps! 2 if possible. Go early to eat breakfast and head to the parks. Try to explain to your 6 year old the value of patience, as lines can be over an hour. Take advantage to free and outside activites. Share meals with your kids. They can be A sharable portion if you kids aren't picky or huge eaters. Also consider packing your lunch one or two days. You're allowed one soft sided coolers. Think peanut butter and jelly, fruit drinks and chips. Use hotel ice to keep it cool. 2 adult lunches and 3 kids meals= about 35.00 that can add up so quick! Your kids probably won't complain about a quick and cheap lunch. If your staying on site , use Disney transport. It'll save gas and time and you won't have to drag 3 young ones through cars and hotel busses!

    yeahh have fun and dont waste time in line or they will get impatient...ya no go on the kiddie rides meet the characters get them a character autograph book, take pictures, take them if they are girl to get makeup and hair done to look like a prinbcess thats always fun!!! you can research that by the way. most of all have fun DONT stress remember its supposed to be a fun vacation. Lastly dont stress out on planning things like going on all rides etc. because they are still young and may get tired and cranky easily just go with the flow. ALOS get a carage for them to sit in becasue there a TON of walking involved. Also its gonna be HOT so go to CVS or target noww and buy them mini portable fans that go around there neck to keep them at a comfy temperature well mostly for the 4 and 6 year old. hope this helps and have a greattttt time!!!! :)

    1. Don't try to do everything. There is so much to do and it will be really hot, if you push yourselves and try to do too much you will burn out. We go to the parks at opening, have a sit down lunch, go back to our hotel to swim and rest and then go back in the evening for a few rides

    2.Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate It will be hot, don't forget your water and sunblock

    3. Avoid Extra Magic Hours Those parks tend to be more crowded, even if you are staying on site and are eligible

    4. Have fun!
