14 day Plan - thoughts please

[c3h3a3r]

Hi

I would appreciate any thoughts on my plan below. DH and I 4th trip (1996, 2011, 2016) - this time adults only as the teens didn't want to go

14 nights staying offsite, Nov 2022.
No car - planning on using Hotel shuttle/Uber/Lyft (previously had car rental)

I have recently purchased tickets and will book park days once they arrive.

We have done all the parks before (except Volcano Bay) so decided loosely on the following:

MK 1.5 days
Epcot 1.5days
HS 1.5 days
AK 1 day
BB 1 day
TL 1 day
Universal Studios 1.5 days
Islands of Adventure 1.5 days
Volcano Bay 1 day

Tues: Arrival Day - no plans
Weds: Epcot
Thurs: MK
Fri: AK
Sat: BB
Sun: US
Mon: US/IOA
Tues: IOA
Weds: VB
Thurs: HS
Fri: HS/Epcot
Sat: TL
Sun: MK
Mon: no plans
Tues: Departure day - no plans

No hard plans yet - could do full days/half days - see how things go

Any feedback greatly appreciated

I would not bet that both Disney waterparks would both be open in November. They usually shut one down to do maintenance and stuff in the winter.

Good to know hopefully BB as we prefer TL

I agree with skippyboo probably only one of the waterparks will be open in November in terms of TL and BB. I would probably move around a bit like below:

Tues - arrive
Weds - EPCOT
Thurs - MK
Fri - BB/TL
Sat - AK
Sun - US
Mon - VB
Tues - US & IOA
Weds - IOA
Thurs - HS
Fri - TL/BB
Sat - HS & EPCOT
Sun - MK
Mon - No plans
Tues - depart

This way you have more of a 2 park relax day type thing but that's me

I think your plan looks really good! Similar to our plans too.

Random question but do you know whether or not the pass reservation system will still be in place in 2022? If so, at what stage is it possible to start booking them as I’ve heard it’s a bit of a nightmare

Yes it is, we have just booked for May 2022 through Disney we linked our package straight away on my Disney experience and booked our 14days it was very easy and quick,you can cancel and rebook a different day if your plans change.Hope this helps.

Personally I think Epcot is more of an adult park and would probably go to MK for a morning, take a break and then head to Epcot for food/drinks/fireworks

I booked for September 2022 yesterday on the reservation system. In all honesty it was fine (no different to booking a fast pass as its so far out). I don't know what the nightmares have been but its very easy to use the system. I am hoping by 2022 they will remove it but you just don't know so I thought I would book and then if they remove great

I have heard it will be in place until at least the end of 2022. You can book park days as soon as you have a valid ticket. Mine arrived today and I have booked our park days even though we don't go until next November. You can always move them about if needed (depending on availability of course)

A friend of mine is going in August this year and has managed to book park days last week with no issues.

Thanks for the advice. Just booked our park passes for May 2022 and it was pretty easy so that’s good.

To anyone that has booked and received the dining $’s... can you see anywhere in you me My Disney Experience app acknowledgement of the vouchers? If so, where can you see it as I can’t seem to find anything on my app

Nope mine doesn't show the specific but under hotel it says TBB Disney Resort Hotel Package so I assume that this tells them the offer and its like the $250 gift card in that you get it at check-in (or have to pick it up from somewhere)
