Because I need validation...how's my schedule?

[amg35]

It's for October, so we have some time to tweak... (I want to plan early so I can put out of my mind and enjoy the summer)

Just two of us, haven't decided on fast pass rides yet, who know what October will bring. Parades, meet/greets, not priorities.

Tuesday 21 - arrive Beach Club (knock wood), hang out for a while, maybe Downtown Disney, then Epcot for a couple rides and dinner at Via Napoli around 8:15...pizza, sangria, yum.

Wednesday 22 - Animal Kingdom (sugar cane mojito calling me)!! Epcot food/wine at night - lime sake cocktail and margaritas here I come!!

Thursday 23 - Magic Kingdom, early entry!! Epcot food/wine at night, food, drink, food, drink, drink, drink, better have more food!

Friday 24 - Hollywood Studios, dinner at Crew's Cup Lounge (Yacht Club), have some cocktails around hotel, maybe watch movie on the beach, or tour hotels. Maybe go to Future World at Epcot early evening for some more rides.

Saturday 25 - Back to Animal Kingdom for morning, pool time, MK at night. Possible stop at Outer Rim at CR before MK.

Sunday 26 - sleep in!! Breakfast at Captain's Grille around 10:30 (mmm mimosas), lay around pool all day, Halloween Party at night!!

Monday 27 - Epcot day, night open (maybe Studios again or maybe visit Contemporary and Grand Floridian)

Tuesday 28 - Magic Kingdom, dinner at Epcot, maybe Mexico? Not sure

Wednesday 29 - whatever we feel like we need to see before we go home

Thursday 30 - go home (and get ready to start looking for a dog to add to our family again! )

well, what do you think?? The last couple days of trip are pretty open ended, just relaxing and taking our time on those days.

I don't know about anybody else, but that sounds like HEAVEN to me! You seem fairly 'open' about being flexible. I love, love, love F&W. Was hoping to get back in October this year. Love October. Loved December with the decorations, but loved MNSSHP better than MVMCP; however, DH got laid off his job soooooo....who knows when I'll be lucky enough to see the World again! Have a great time. I wouldn't change a thing!

I appreciate a person that adds cocktails into their planning. Mmmmmmmmmmmimosas.

Your plan looks divine!

 

[amg35]

Thanks guys!

Cocktails are essential to a good vacation for me.

I was thinking the same thing... Love it!!

I am so jealous, that is my dream Disney vacation

Ours too! This is big one for us, won't be back for a while as we have other vacations spots in mind. (although, we do want to come back to see Avatarland)

Fingers crossed we have a great time!

Sign us all up for your drinking tour!!!! Mmmm Mimosas is a great start to the morning!!!
What a great location to stay during F&W. So easy to casually stroll over during the evening - now another question is what drink options are you going for? Beer Flights? I seen a couple flights last year that I. Would love to try but we are trying Christmas time this year. But we love the fall season and weather
Enjoy your planning and that short walk home after a few drinks is better than the long haul to the bus line

We're not sure yet! I'm waiting for when the schedule comes out with the list of everything they will have. I'm leaving some open Epcot times in case we want to go to a demonstration or something, probably later in the trip as we will be more prone to just meandering about.

 

[amg35]

Oh and I'm open for arrival day suggestions. If all goes well, should be at hotel by 1 and didn't really plan on going to Epcot until 5 or so...

So I thought Downtown Disney? Take the bus there, bop around (not really shopping, just want to see it), take the boat back to POR (always wanted to see it), catch bus from POR straight to Epcot. Enter through Future World hit Spaceship Earth and maybe another ride or two, then off to dinner!

Too much animal kingdom and too much Epcot. Too much park hopping. I would try to do one park per day, and relax a little bit more. Also, try not to get too hung over with all your bar hopping. It won't make for a fun vacation.

Thanks!

Animal Kingdom is our favorite park, so that's why it's on there twice.

Epcot is food/wine and we are staying at Beach Club, that's why it seems like we are there so often!

Good advice on the drinking, we will definitely be pacing ourselves and not over doing it!

For sure, we are going to find time to relax. We can always just opt to laze around at night. Our Epcot evenings will mainly consist of eating, sitting down with a glass of wine and people watching.

 

[amg35]

I was thinking about the too much hopping, but really we are only hopping to Epcot at night, which is the backyard to the hotel.

The only other two parks day is Saturday with AK morning and MK at night. But i am planning a long break in between as MK is open Saturday night. I think it will be okay?

Tweak, tweak, tweak...

The only place I will buy park hoppers now is if we are staying in the BC/YC/BW area. It's so close, we end up there almost every night no matter what we did that morning. Nothing better than that short walk home after Illuminations!

 

[jimandami]

I think it sounds lovely! We will be there the 25th-Nov 3 so I just made our tentative plan today...ours is a bit more difficult because it will be 2 families with 5 adults and 4 kids....I may need to come have a drink or two with you! As far as arrival day, I'm not 100% sure I would take the time to go to DTD (although I love it) but if you think about how terrible the buses tend to be over there, you are looking at getting there around 2:30 (after checking in and what not) and leaving there around 4 for Epcot. I suppose that would give you time for a drink or two during happy hour at Hole in the Wall though.

Oh yeah, park hoppers are a must for that area!

I was thinking about the time also, maybe we'll just go over to Boardwalk Bakery for lunch and then relax in room for an hour or so. I want a lobster roll from there.

 

[Couchy]

I love your plan! Sounds like my kinda fun. I especially love the Pizza and Sangria at Via part. It is a must do for me every trip

 

[agavegirl1]

Sounds like a fun plan for you guys. I will be there at the same time. I have different parks than you on some days but will likely be cruising around World Showcase at the same times on several evenings. I like park hoppers for F&W for that very reason. You are lucky to stay at an Epcot resort. We stayed at BC in 2010 and pretty much walked over to Epcot daily for something. We also enjoyed the boardwalk area. To save money this time we are staying at POP and I'm limiting our hopping to no more than two parks per day.

I haven't planned my cocktails yet but I am actually doing this as well. Nice to have a plan pretty well drafted before your 180+10 window. I like your plan.
