A DINK needs your advice - WDW w/ a 10 yr. old
You probably know, but DINK stands for Double Income, No Kids. DW and I like kids, just don't have any. Anyhow...
For her 10th birthday, DW and plan on taking our niece (henceforth to be referred to as DN) to WDW for her first visit. Perhaps many of you are thinking "Oh, how sweet!" while others of you have seen my posts and trip reports and may be thinking "Isn't that the guy who tours the parks at a break-neck pace in a more 'adult' fashion?" or something else along those lines...
Obviously I wouldn't do the parks as DW and I would by ourselves, beyond that I'm pretty much clueless. We'd plan one a more leisurely schedule and do our best to divine what our 10 year old DN would like to do in the parks, but I don't really know what that is. DW and I haven't really ever cared for a child for more than a few hours at a time, so obviously I could use some advice here, but DW and I are eager to learn and eager for a new challenge.
Here's a little background: she is a princess/Barbie fan from the Midwest. She has a sister who is a couple years younger who not be coming along (her sister's trip will be a couple of years later if this one goes well). We would probably go in early June, but any time during her summer is possible; we don't want to take her out of school. The trip would probably be 5 to 7 days long. We'd probably stay at a deluxe or a mod.
Please, give me some advice on how to plan and have a nice magical trip to Disney World with my DN.
Thank you all in advance. I eagerly await your input.
