if driving, make a coloring map of the trip. let them draw a line to from one city to the next. they will see how far it is away. If your trip is 8 hrs plus, leave so that a good portion of the time they are asleep. My drive can take anywhere from 12-15 hours. I leave at around 3pm. They watch a movie or two, we stop and eat, they watch another movie or two and then they fall asleep..leaving me driving through the night in peace and quiet. I woke them up in the parking lot of the All-Star Movie Resort.

Take snacks...glow sticks...or anything else you think you might have to pay twice as much for in the park.

Leave any souveniers out in your hotel room...disney costumes, stuffed animals, etc...you might see them used to decorate your room..which is always fun after a long day in the park.
