WDWRocksMySocks: I just subscribed to TGM about a week ago. It is overwhelming...but now that the best park days came out, I can use it to it's full potential. I've just slowly been exploring the site.
shellywalker: Welcome!!!
My2Qtz0205: I love AKL..the savannah view is an added bonus. One day you'll get to stay there!!!
Okay, I've made my itinerary. i want opinions. I'm just going to copy and paste from the post I did at the theme park strategies board. Please please PLEASE tell me what you think..don't be afraid!!!!
Hey everyone. Well the time has come- TGM posted his best days, and I went to town planning around those, my own preferences and the UG recommended days. This is what I've come up with. Any questions that I have, I've put in bold. I appreciate this so much..thank you all in advance!!!!
Day 1: Arrival day, around 1:00 at AKL
Epcot- ADR for Coral Reef, hopefully around 7:00. Plan for this is to wander and see what is feasible to get in line for or get fastpasses for...nothing set in stone!
Day 2: This is the day that I have to check out of AKL..and back into AKL. Difference is I will be checking into a savannah view package, so the chance of having to change rooms is really high.
AK morning
Lunch at Boma, around 11:30-12:00
ADR Ohana, watch wishes from the beach then head over to MK EMH till 1:00 AM
questions: do I need ADR's at BOMA for lunch time? especially around that time? Also, what time should I make ADR's at Ohana for with enough time to watch Wishes from the Beach? Any thoughts on EMH at MK?
Day 3 (Monday 7/27)
Sleep In (late night before)
Boardwalk Bakery for breakfast, around 10:30
Head to WS, spend the day touring the WS inside & out, perhaps if theres time some rides
ADR: Germany 1:30, Rose & Crown 8:00 (illuminations dinner)
Day 4 (Tuesday 7/28)
Epcot rope drop (again)
Lunch Flying Fish around 11:30
Rest
DHS- fantasmic dinner package
Day 5 (wednesday 7/29)
Seaworld day- DTD after seaworld, Raglan Road Reservations as late as possible
Day 6 (Thursday, 7/30)
Sleep in, Epcot for lunch around 12:30 or 1:00- Le cellier
catch anything we missed that we want
Hop to DHS, ADR at Sci Fi around 7-8:00
Question: My reasoning for going to DHS on this night is because Fantasmic is showing. I hope to evade the crowds because everyone will be waiting for Fantasmic- any thoughts? Opinions? All we want to do here is ToT, Rockin Roller Coaster and the Great Movie ride, possibly star tours and some walk throughs.
Day 7 (Friday, July 31)
AK Morning, finish up what we didn't do before
Lunch at the resort, or possibly Beaches and Cream... we will see how we feel, that night- rehersal dinner for wedding I am in
Day 8 (Saturday, Aug 1)- hang out at AKL, Wedding at 7:00 PM
Day 9 (Sunday, Aug 2)- departure day, back at resort by around 3:00. Do last minute shopping at DTD, lunch at T-Rex.
Sorry it's so long, but I want opinions! Do you think I have enough time at all the parks? Note- at MK all we want to do is the Haunted Mansion, PoC and Jungle Cruise. Possibly Phillarmagic. Can this all be done in evening EMH? Do the stores stay open late for EMH? Thanks to anyone who comments!
