Disney is booked!

My inlaws booked the big family trip last night! We are going in June, and staying at the Bay Lake Towers. In total, there are 12 adults, and 17 kids, ranging in ages from 17 down to 3 months. DS will have just turned 2 the month before we go, and baby # 2 will be 3 months. I am SO EXCITED! I love my SILs and BILs, and the cousins are all so excited to share this vacation together. I like that we are on the monorail. This way, those of us with younger kids can take a midday break for naps, and those with older kids can spend all day in the parks. We plan on doing 2-3 dinners just the 4 of us. So far I know I want to do Chef Mickey's and Biergarten. Any other suggestions that my 2 year old would enjoy? TIA!
We also plan on skipping Hollywood Studios this time around, since my kids will be so little. We will either do an extra MK day or hang out at the hotel pool on the day everyone else goes there. Is that a good idea? Or is there actually a lot for a 2 yr old at the Studios?

I don't have any disney suggestions for you but wow, that's a large group! You guys will have a blast!

Disney is booked!

When we went with DS (11 mos at the time this past July/August) we went every where and did everything.

We had a few meals at Downtown Disney, so if you do have a day off, go there for a meal. TRex looked like a lot of fun, theres a huge Lego store, live music at night... Or go to Ohana at The Polynesian for breakfast (buffet) or dinner (with a show/performance).

HS is a lot of fun, and they do have the best Toy Story ride, but yea, it is a half a day kinda thing, so unless you have the park hopper option, I would skip it. Epcot was a blast. So much to do and explore. Don't miss it! We actually ate a lovely lunch at the Living Seas (or whatever it's called now) restaurant and got a snack at the Germany Bakery (OMG carmel covered everything amazingness!)...

Honestly, Disney is designed for kids and families so everything is worth it!

I would def. go to studios. Playhouse Disney is there, the Toy Story Mania Ride, Indiana Jones, Honey I shrunk the kids playground, etc.. It's a great park for kids IMO.

Re: Disney is booked!

As a pp mentioned Downtown Disney if you have a park free day. It's really cool to walk around itself and they have some cute restaurants. We didn't eat there but there is a Dinosaur themed restaurant that looked super cool for kids. The only thing was the line always looked very long, I'm not sure if you could make a reservation so you don't waste time standing there.

That sounds like such a fun trip!
