Other than putting the kids to bed early (which likely won't go that well - they will be excited for the trip and not tired yet) would you have any recommendations/tips on how to best approach this?

Thank you so much!!
My advice would be not to book flights which majorly disrupt a kid's sleep cycle because doing so can trash the whole trip. Some kids can handle losing a night of sleep, others can't. You likely won't discover where your kids fall until it's too late.
