So I've really been working on our itinerary and would appreciate some feedback...
Day 1 - Arrive around around 10am
Epcot
L - CS in Epcot
D - Garden Grille
I know Epcot will be crowded, but we've decided we want to catch the last day of F&W. We'll probably just go for a few hours, have dinner and then head back to the resort to swim and get a good nights rest.
Day 2 - MK/HS
B - CRT
L - CS
D - O'Hana
We'll stay in MK for most of the day, and after dinner we'll hop to HS for the Character Dance Party that only happens during evening EMH.
Day 3 - AK
B - Tusker House
L - CS
D - WCC
Day 4 - HS/MK
B - Hollywood & Vine Play & Dine
L - CS
D - CA Grille
Need thoughts - Our plan is to go to HS for most of the day, but we want to hop over to MK for MSEP, which is scheduled for 7pm. If BOG is open, I may schedule dinner there (or tomorrow); otherwise we'll have dinner at CA Grille then take the monorail to MK. I'm just not sure how early we should eat dinner in order to get a good spot for MSEP. Our other option would be to have a late dinner since tomorrow is a sleep late day. If we do this, what time should I schedule our ADR for after the MSEP? What are your thoughts? Before or after the MSEP? What time?
I am not sure how long you normally schedule for your family TS time,..but i always plan on an hour and a half,...you never know how long your server is going to take,..so if you want to do BOG, and see MSEP, you are gonna have to do it pretty early-if you scheduled it for 5:00 and it took you until 6:30, you only have 30 min to find a good spot for the parade...otherwise, maybe try to get it for afterward,...like 7:50? Wishes will be at 8 and lots of people will be coming in to watch that didn't make the parade and you need to navigate over to the restaraunt...can your kids wait to eat that late? Your other option would be just move it up to your lunch time and cut your HS time shorter....Day 5 - DTD/MK
B - no ADR
L - T-Rex
D - BOG (if available)
We will be going to the MVMCP so we are just going to sleep late (I'm sure the kids will need the rest), then DH is going to take the kids to the Richard Petty track to watch the cars for a bit, while I go shopping. Then they'll meet me at DTD for lunch at T-Rex. After that, we'll head back to the resort to swim and relax until we got to MVMCP around 4pm.
Are you scheduling your T-Rex for a late lunch? I am just curious when you say y'all are sleeping late, if you will have time to see the cars and make your ressie--if my kids sleep late, we are talking 9 or later,...and if you have lunch before noon, you may not have much shopping time at DTD--that is always our longest travel time--over there and back...
Day 6 - MK/HS
B - Chef Mickey's
L -
D - Sci Fi Dine In
We are going to sleep late since we'll be out late at the MVMCP the night before, have a late breakfast around 10am at Chef Mickey's, then an early dinner at Sci Fi Dine In before catching Fantasmic!
Day 7 - EP
B - Akershus
L - Chefs de France
D - Teppan Edo
Yep, that's a lot of ADRs for one day, but we'll just have to make it work. Akershus is a must do for DD, and we want to see Remy @ Chefs de France AND try Teppan Edo. Hopefully we can walk it all off. After dinner, we may head over to the Boardwalk to check out the night time entertainment.
Day 8 - MK/HS/EP
B - Crystal Palace
L - CS
D - Via Napoli
Yes, it's going to be a busy day, but it's our last. I've actually thought about going to AK too just so we can say we did 4 parks in one day, but we'll see how much energy we have! Since it's our last day, we'll head to MK first (I have to say buy to the castle), then we'll head to HS for a while, then to Epcot for dinner and to watch Illuminations. If we are able to everything we want at HS earlier in the week, we may just head to EP.
Day 9 - Go home.
So that's it! Day 9 we will head home.
Please let me know what you think.
