I tried to plan this around the best days as per the UG. I guess alot of it depends on the crowds during this time. And like our first trip I had it all planned out and ended up being very flexable in the park we went to.


Thanks again,

John

just a bump any thoughts?

Thanks Jovidan, We are very flexible and since its only two of us I thought we might play it by ear on the dinner ressies. Last year we did counter service the whole time and enjoyed that. We are not into the character meals so thats not a biggy.

I know it sounds busy. I am just throwing this schedule out as a guideline. I want to experience as much of the park as possible but try not to go commando. The other thing I am really looking forward to are the tours. Last year we tired our selves out. I thought going for 9 days this year instead of 5 would be more relaxing but I am finding I want to pack in as much as possible. Anyone else have that problem?
