Sounds great! Good plan!

You picked great places!! Sound great. Have fun!

Your ADR's look terrific, but take a day off by day #5, or you will surely burn everyone out. The schedule is exhausting. But delicious!

you are very smart to try and eat in the park you are visiting.. It'll minimize travel time and enhance the fun!

I agree with Jillpie. The schedule is EXHAUSTING. Why not plan a resort day (or two!!) with eating in or at SSR? Then use leftover points for something fun like Hoop Dee Doo Revue or a signature dining option...maybe you can go out alone with DH one night or you can send your parents out?? SSR is a lovely resort with stuff to do...also trips to DTD could take up the better part of the day. You probably won't need or want 2 days at DHS. Also, Day #3, #7 and #8 have you switching parks by dinner...was that the plan? This too, is an exhausting option. Especially with a 2 year old and relying on Disney transportation! I hope you don't have your heart set on all of these as you just may not make it! And, one other suggestion, we HATED Mama Melrose. How about 50's or Sci Fi...they are much more fun and the food more predictable!! Or try Brown Derby. I have heard tons of good things about it!! These are just suggestions and things to think about!!! Sorry if I sound so opinionated...!! I have planned lots of trips for others (counting into the high 20's now!!) and I haven't planned a dud yet!!
