3 day itinerary with my 3.5 yr old...any ideas/comments?

[Sophie_2003]

Hello,

we booked a last minute trip to Disney (staying at POR) Oct 12-16; we have three days in the parks and here is my schedule. My DD is 3.5 yrs old and loooooves princesses. We could not get any CRT reservations but we managed an Epcot Norway Princess Storybook on our last evening.

Day 1: Saturday : AK, it is not an AM or PM EMH, and I wanted to do this first because I figure if she hits MK day one everything else will pale in comparison. I think the safari, the trails and the Dinosaur park will be to her liking.

Day 2: Sunday is LOEMH at MK, planning on getting to the park by 8am, we have a BBB appt at MK at 1h15pm, and leave whenever she has had enough.

Day 3: here is where I am not sure; we have our Princess Dinner at Epcot at 6h30pm, and at first I was going to do MK again till midday, come back to the hotel for a break and get to Epcot right before dinner. This is assuming we get the park hoppers. Second idea was to be at Epcot all day (doing the kidcot, and she can ride Soarin - she's tall enough -, and few other rides)

I would love any comments/suggestions. We have dinner at portobello's DTD on arrival, Boatwright's at POR on sunday and the Norway princess dinner on Monday)

Tks,

Sophie

I think your schedule is good, but on your last day I would do MK either nap and then go to Epcot or even better just sleep a little later. Then head to the park 9 or 10o am stay till 2 head over to Epcot and walk around and kidcot till dinner and then stay for fireworks. MK was our favorite and I would want her to get a little more time at there. We didn't do the nap thing we worked it where we would sleep a little later then stay at the park later or go early and come back earlier. We did naps one day and everyone was grouchy and our 2 year old didn't fall asleep until it was about time for us to head back out for our reservations.

Thanks...that's what I am going for... I think.However, I was worried about the time it would take to get from one park to the next...we hear many bus horror stories!

The bus system is not bad at all. I think from MK you can take the monorail to the transit station and take the bus from there or take the bus straight from MK. If your worried about busing. I would rather not go to the park then back to the hotel for nap and then back to a park and then back to the hotel. I think thats a lot but, you do what's best for your daughter. We had some really good bus drivers, they would sing, do triva and cut jookes they made it better, plus we went in the fall time and never had to wait for a second bus. Good Luck!
