September:
2 nights at Beach Club Villas
Wednesday: Arrive at airport around 1pm and take Magical Express to Beach Club. Head to DHS with FP+ for TSM before early dinner at 50's PT Cafe at 4pm, then FP+ for Star Tours and ToT after dinner. We'll head back to settle in and rest well tonight. We'll upgrade our tickets to APs tonight and make the rest of our FP+ reservations for the trip. (Only made 4 days for now since we only have 4 day tickets right now.)
Thursday: Epcot at opening. Quick service lunch. Return to Beach Club to swim. Garden Grove dinner at 7pm. That's the character buffet at Swan & Dolphin. Never tried it before.
4 nights at Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort
Friday: Magic Kingdom at open. Have a reservation for breakfast at Be Our Guest at 8:30 and park opens at 9. Hopefully this means we get in early (anticipating 8am) and can eat and still be ready to hit the rides at 9am. Crystal Palace lunch at 12:45 then pick up luggage at Beach Club and Taxi to Universal. We plan to check in and hit Universal Studios for the last 2 hours of the night. We hope to do the Minion ride and the new HP area.
Saturday: IOA early entry and Mythos lunch.
Sunday: IOA early entry then spend the day at US. Lunch at Citywalk, possible Antojitos. Another first time restaurant.
Monday: IOA early entry and favorite rides again. Afternoon break and return for Cinematic Spectacular Dinner at Lombard's with reserved seating and dessert buffet. (A little something special at a much lower cost than Disney's dessert buffet... not that they're comparable.)
2 nights at the Villas at the Grand Floridian
Tuesday: Either hit IOA for one last go round on the best coasters or sleep in and then head over to MK with afternoon our FP+ for Splash, BTMR, and Enchanted Tales with Belle. Check into Grand Floridian. Dinner at Grand Floridian Cafe at 6:45. Another first.
Wednesday: Sleep in then Kona Cafe 9:50am. Pool in the AM and visit Trader Sam's at the Polynesian before Magic Kingdom with FP+ for 7 Dwarfs Mine Train, Jungle Cruise, and BTMR in the evening and watch the parade and fireworks.
2 nights at Animal Kingdom Villas
Thursday: Early entry to Magic Kingdom. Whispering Canyon Cafe at 12:55pm. Check into Animal Kingdom Villas and use pool. Dinner at quick service at AKV.
Friday: Animal Kingdom at opening. Dinner at Sanaa 5:50pm.
4 nights in a Treehouse Villa at Saratoga Springs
Saturday: Hollywood Studios at opening. Mama Melrose at 1:10pm. Check into Treehouse Villas. We have an ADR for another first, Turf Club at 6:35pm. We'll have to decide a day or two ahead of time which table service we'll keep this day. We don't need that much food or expense to keep both. Leaning toward Turf Club now but will probably depend on our energy level at this point in our trip!
Sunday: Sleep in day! Day at pool and Downtown Disney. Dinner at Paradiso 37 at 5:20pm.
Monday: Epcot at opening. Chefs de France at 1:30pm. Swim in afternoon.
