Hello, WDW experts!
I have been planning for a big trip in late Feb/early Mar 2021 -- our longest stay ever with 8 nights and 7 full park days. My husband has expressed some reluctance about the length of the trip (9 days, including travel). As much as he has come to appreciate Disney parks, he worries he will get major Disney fatigue and that our children (age 4) will be exhausted by a trip that long. He would prefer a shorter trip of 6 nights and 5 park days. My counter argument is that a longer trip allows us to slow down, enjoy the moment, and avoid fatigue by not cramming so much into our days (especially as we may have grandparents with us, which definitely slows down touring.)
The main goals of the trip are to:
With these things in mind, I would love opinions on whether we should do 5 park days, 6 park days or 7 park days.

The main goals of the trip are to:
- Include one day that is a birthday celebration for our girls (relaxed day of characters, fireworks, parades - limited rides)
- Hit most of the headliners and everything new in the past 5 years
- Hit most of the rides aimed at small children
- Do multiple character meals
- Do a few non-park, non-home-resort meals, like Hoop de Doo and Sebastian's
With these things in mind, I would love opinions on whether we should do 5 park days, 6 park days or 7 park days.
