So this is the FIRST Disney trip I have ever planned. It will be me and my boyfriend. I have only ever been to Disney once when I was little, we stayed off site and didn't even go to Epcot. My boyfriend has been there twice, once as a kid again in high school but told me he didn't want to do any planning and it was all up to me!
This is my final (hopefully) itinerary for our vacation and I was hoping you expert DISers would be able to help me if you see something "off" or if you have any tips to make it better.
9/16
Breakfast in Philadelphia airport before boarding. We will arrive in Orlando at 9:30am. Get the Magic Express to POP. I know it will probably be too early to check in so we plan on getting our park keys and heading to Hollywood Studios for lunch at Sci-Fi @ 1:25pm! Hopefully we will be done with lunch in time to see the Block Party parade. Around 5pm we will head back to the resort to get settled into our room, change, and sit for a few. I want to head over to the Poly to watch Wishes from the beach at 8pm and then head into Ohana for our 8:55pm dinner reservation.
9/17
Breakfast at 1900 Park Fare (Alice is DBF's favorite Disney movie and this will be a surprise for him as he left the planning to me and I picked all of our ADRs! I think he is fully expecting a Princess meal ) Hop on the monorail with Epcot being our next destination. We will be spending the rest of the day in Epcot, getting CS for lunch (not sure where though )....more Epcot touring after lunch...Beverly pictures... hehehe... We have reservations at Le Cellier at 8:15 for dinner so I doubt we will be out in time for Illuminations so I don't think we will be seeing it this trip
9/18
Breakfast at Tusker House @ 8:25! We don't plan on being at Animal Kingdom very long. We have looked at the attractions and we definitely want to do the safari so we will head to that immediately after breakfast. Other than that we want to ride Mt. Everest and the River Rapids. Maybe take a few photos. Am I missing out on anything else spectacular in AK? Both of us remember AK to be the most boring of all of the parks when we were in Disney previously. Was hoping to be heading back to the resort by 1:00ish to relax or swim for a bit. Early dinner at Big River Grille and Brewing Works around 4:00pm and then get a bus to MK for MNSSHP! The rest of our night will be spent partying in MK! Since we are eating early we may end up getting CS later in the evening, not sure what will be open that late during the party though so any suggestions would be great!
9/19
Breakfast at Crystal Palace at 8:15am. I plan on getting some nice crowd free castle shots. Since we want to more of the party stuff at MNSSHP we will do whatever attractions we passed up after breakfast. We will catch the Dreams Come True parade at 3:00pm and head back to the resort after that to relax and get changed into our "dressy" clothes. We will head back to MK for our 7:05 dinner reservation at the castle and stay for Wishes after dinner!
9/20
SLEEPING IN! Will probably eat breakfast at POP, swim a little, and then head to Downtown Disney to SHOP! Def. getting something at Goofy's and have to go to the LEGO store to get a replacement "lego man chef" key chain for DBF! I am estimating we will have most of the early afternoon for DTD. We will be going back to DHS for dinner at Mama Melrose (Fantasmic package) at 4:45pm, see whatever else we want to see in DHS, and then catch the 8:00 Fantasmic show!
9/21
Going home breakfast at Boma 9:15am. Our flight doesn't depart until 3:30pm that afternoon so I'm not really sure what we can do to kill the time (or won't I have time?) in between. Any suggestions?
In my mind this plan sounds good to me, lol, but again first time planning and I don't have any idea of the time concept in WDW so this may be completely impossible to do! lol. Any advice would be SUPER!
