2 Questions for those who will be at WDW over MLK weekend

[mom2boys]

1-When will you arrive and depart WDW?

2-What is your tentative touring schedule?

My answers:
1-We will arrive late afternoon/early evening on Sat 1/17 and depart 1st thing Sat 1/24.

2- Sat -we will hit Downtown Disney in the early evening and then head back to our resort - POP for a good nights rest before our UHPs are activated on 1/18.

Sun- DS with Muppets/ToT/RnR on the top of our hit list. Pizza Planet for lunch. Dinner - offsite. DQ in the evening.

Mon - 9:30 am Pirate Cruise then to AK - lunch ????? Dinner - again offsite. DQ in the evening. (DH & both DSs plan to spend EVERY evening at DQ.)

Rest of week -
Tues MK for Spectro (it will be a challange to keep the gang out of MK until Tuesday)

Wed - EPCOT by day DQ by night

Thurs - DS1 gets to suggest itinerary since it is his birthday
Character dining & I imagine he will want to head back to DQ

Fri - highlights & whatever we missed or want to repeat

If we get a really warm day - high 70's + we will hit Blizzard Beach and rearrange the touring plan accordingly.

edited to add: We will have our own vehicle but will also use Disney transportation when possible.

Here is our schedule. Keep in mind it has been "edited" several times as things (crowd alerts) change.

Arrive 1/16 late evening.... to hotel... sleep good!!

1/17 AK from opening until closing and then hop over to MK for SpectroMagic (this is a change from our original plan as we didn't think we would be at any WDW parks on TUesday and such would be able to see Spectro that day).

1/18 Seaworld from opening to closing, including Dinner with Shamu.

1/19 DTD, BB (weather permitting), possibly Nascar Cafe in evening (over at Universal). If weather doesn't permit BB, we may go back to Seaworld to use our "Second day free" passes we plan on picking up on Sunday.

1/20 MGM all day (this was to be our day off until I heard about the crowds on MLK day... we then switched our Mon/ Tues schedules), including Fantasmic.

1/21 MK all day (CRT at 8:05am)

1/22 Epcot all day (maybe illuminations, haven't decided)

1/23 MK all day and Chef Mickey at about 7pm (we like to finish the week at our favorite park!)

1/24 Cry all the way home because I will miss Disney!!

See you there!!......................P

Unfortunately, I am not much help. We will be checking in to BCV on January 17th and checking out on January 24th. We plan to do a park on Sat or Sun and will probably do AK due to the fact that the K.R.R will be going on rehab the 20th. We are coming with friends and plan to firm up our schedule this weekend when we can all get together. Debby

Then I will tell her that we will come back for a quick trip over Thanksgiving even though I thought I talked myself out of it.

Friday- Jan 23- Fly back to the crappy, cold, and most likey snow covered state of Pennsylvania and wonder why on earth did I leave the most magical place on earth to come back to THIS ( cold and snow)
