Welcome to the forum :-)

I would say that at least make a list of what you want to do, so you know what's at DLP.
And it is nice to just go with the flow :-)
4 trips to DLP, 3 to WDW, 1 to Disneyland California

I`d say pick up a schedule when you enter the park (main park under the railway, studios inside studio1 to your left and right) Or print it out at home from dlrp.com.
Take a look around first, enjoy the athmosphere!
In 5 days you can get a lot done! In september crowds should not be that bad!
Don`t miss Dreams!
Use extra magic hours in the morning!
Do some shopping! ;)

And most of all, have a wonderful trip!!

I would definitely make a plan as some parts of Germany, Italy and Spain are still on holiday till the middle of September.

Have a good look at the park maps on dlpguide.com which is a fantastic website with all the restaurants menus, pictures and details of the rides restrictions etc.

A good solid plan never hurts especially if it's your first time there with kids so you can make the most of every moment.

Have a wonderful holiday  :D

I would recommend to check the ride closures to make sure you don't miss any thatay be closed certain days of your trips.

Check height restrictions of rides before hand and make a list of rides you want to go on.

Get a schedule when you get there. Make a loose plan every evening for the next day so you don't waste time.

Use EMH to avoid ride queues, especially with little ones you can do most of fantasyland by mid morning x

A tip I've heard is to always start your day in Fantasyland or Adventureland because the majority of people cover the park clockwise or anticlockwise. I've never tried it however because I can't resist starting in Frontierland!
