Newbie--- WDW in less than 60 days!

Hello= I have been reading my Passporter for 7.5 months now in preperation of our Thanksgiving week trip to WDW!!!! Since that week is a holiday, Iwas lucky to find a great deal on a house rental, but by the time I had the rntal secured, I lost out on affordable airfare! Now my husbnd, 3 of 5 children, and my inlaws will drive to Florida from NY state!!!! I have kind of a tight budget as far as the parks are concerned, and we have chosen to spend only 2 out of our 6 days in the parks. My older children and I have ben to WDW on several occassions, but this is the first trip for my husband, his parents, and our soon to be 3 year old. One four day at the Magic Kingdom is a deffinate, but the second day is a toss up between Hollywood Studios and Epcot. I am looking for any suggestions for he arks AND for driving 20+ hours in the car with 3 kids!!!!

Welcome to the boards.
I would go for MK and HS too but I guess it depends on what your family like to do.
