First Time Visit With Kids
Hello, I'd love some feedback on our itinerary for a first time visit, 2 adults & 2 kids (5 & 7), coming from Sydney Australia. How does the grouping of days seem? Any changes or suggestions? I've put names of the hotels we are staying at in the plan. Does anyoe have any feedback on these? I still have time to cancel and rebook if there are better options.
