50+ and Calm

[charlielinda3]

We have visited Disney World many times in the past but haven't been in a few years (since the FP+). We are going to spend two days at the Parks and one day just relaxing and enjoy ourselves. My main goal is not to get overwhelmed (which always seems to happen). I'm thinking that I should try to make FP+ for both MK and Epcot on the days we plan to be there. What do you think of itinerary: arrive Sunday, May 10 -- meet friends at Jiko for dinner; Monday, May 11 -- CP for breakfast (assuming husband will go) and then have reservations at BOG for dinner; during the day I thought I'd get FP+ for our three top picks. How long will lines be at the other attractions -- that is what I'm worried most about. I'm planning on spending all day at MK including the fireworks so it will be a long day. Tuesday we are planning a down day, probably with an early lunch at Downtown Disney and then going to V&A that evening. On Wednesday I'll make FP+ for Epcot in the morning and then we plan to enjoy and have dinner reservations. I'm I being to unscheduled? In the past I've been told I have planned marches and I want to be sure that we stop and smell the flowers this time. Thoughts?

The only thing I wouldn't do on your schedule is downtown Disney. I won't be going back there until the construction and traffic return to normal. It's a pretty stressful scene there these days. I did go in November, but I was staying at POFQ and took the boat. I'm usually offsite or at AKL - and I would not drive or take the bus there now.

We actually decided to stay at POR for our June trip just because of this. My daughter is addicted to Earl of Sandwich and I knew we'd never get out of there without at least one stop. And I just didn't want to fight the parking or the buses.

I don't deal with the DTD buses even when there is NO construction!lol

I just plan a morning at a Park and then take a POR bus and then boat to DTD and reverse the route.

LOVE the trip up/down the mighty Sassagoula!
