Give me your expert opinions on my itinerary!

[knationk]

Let me know what you think!! We are staying at the Pop Century and we have 3 kids (Ages 10, 7 and almost 3). We aren't huge eaters, so I am planning only one big meal a day. The others will be counter service, etc.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Kayla :)

Wow, you guys are going to be sooo busy. It looks good though. Your compared to mine looks empty. LOL! Your kids will have a ball.

Let me start by saying that I am not a break-in-the-middle-of-the-day type of person, but with 3 young ones have you considered that those days might be long for them?

Also I see that you have an extra day built in which I think is good, but was thinking that maybe you would want to change your extra (no plan) day to your departure day (25th) and make blizzard beach the plan for the 24th. I only say this because will you really want to go to a water park all day, then not have anywhere to "really" take a shower before getting on your flight home?

Also, with the 3 little ones I have a feeling they might be more interested in MK or AK than Epcot (the horror! :smooth: Epcot is my favorite) so you might want to consider that your second full Epcot day may stretch to more than the EE at MK, or to another AK trip.

Personally I really like your itinerary (of course I would substitute TL for BB, but that is just my preference!! ;) )

That's how my itinerary looked for my 1st trip...lol..>FULL!! I did keep to it for the most part...but...some things aren't as cool as others, Epcot bored all of us but the hubby, so we only stayed for 2 hrs then went back to MK. Make sure you know the things you DONT want to miss...then go with the flow, basing your day 'loosely' on your plan...it'll be more fun and you'll get more enjoyment! But...looks like you want to do it all...and I don't blame you!! Have Fun!!
And...just so ya know...counter service is only a dollar or 2 cheaper than the sit down where you can get cool and relax...about worth the price difference... You'll spend just as much on snacks than you would if you had 2 middle price sit downs...BUT...definitly keep your reservations with the characters :)

I would definitely reverse the last two days, Go to the water park on Friday and have the last day the day you go to revisit anything you missed or even visit Downtown Disney for shopping or Disney Quest. It will be easier to have the car packed and ready to go to the airport and then visit anything you missed. Don't forget to bring a stroller for your youngest, it makes life simple when the energy level gets low.

I would also edit your original post to remove the PS number!! you don't want someone else using it.
