Wow! 49 views and nobody has anything to add! I must be GOOD!

(this was a shameless bump, btw)...

Still hoping for anyone, even Bueller, to tell me if this looks good.

Karen,

Looks like your planning on having a lot of fun! I would probably look at changing a couple of things on your schedule. Here is what I would look at:

1. You sure do have a lot of EARLY mornings scheduled!! I would add in at least one morning where you can sleep in a little.

2. According to the planning calendar, the Girl Scouts are descending upon WWS on Friday and Saturday,and the Cheerleaders will be there for Saturday and Sunday so expect that the parks may be more crowded than usual that weekend. I'd make sure to get most of MK done on Wed and Thurs, and I'd expect Saturdays Wishes to be pretty crowded. Might be worth skipping if you catch it on Thursday.

3. I'd probably relax after dinner at Boma on Saturday, and enjoy the ambiance at AKL (one of my fave resorts!) before heading out to DTD. For reasons mentioned in #2, I'd skip the firework shows. Be sure to have a Kungaloosh for me!

Have fun on your trip! We're thinking about slipping down for a weekend next month...

Karen, I like it, especially the early morning breakfasts on Thursday and Friday. I would get wet at the Kali River by noon on Thursday.

We caught Wishes again on Monday and it is a not-to-miss for both days, Thursday and Saturday.

How about a water park on Saturday?

Enjoy the visit.

Thanks for the warning about the girls! Oye! I will have to adjust if they get out of hand, lol.

Good idea about Saturday night, even if we skip MK and just leisurely do WS at EPCOT, that would be nice.

No water park tickets, so no go.

Otherwise, sounds good to go!

Karen, I love your schedule. It makes me jealous. It's great you have Illuminations scheduled twice. I would see it every night I was there if I could.

Just one thing catches my eye...Where is your flight leaving from? MCO? Are you allowing yourself enough time Sunday morning after breakfast? I'm one of those people that get to the airport wayyyyy to early.

Have a great time!!!!!

 

[zakatak]

Well, I am figuring 1 hour for breakfast (just us two). pick up for 8:30am. I hope that leaves enough time!

I'd rather rush through security and have breakfast at BOMA, then sit for an hour and a half in the airport. ewww... AKL, yes! MCO, no...
