Can someone look at my itinerary (I promise I hope this is the last one)

[marriedmarylander]

Thanks for everyone's help. I just threw out trying to use a mentality and just went with a plan when iI wanted to go. I don't care if it's EMH or not a "best day". This is it.

Monday, May 16
Arrival at MCO at 12:30PM
Magical Expresss to hotel
MGM (hopefully around 3?) until closing, Fantasmic


Tuesday, May 17
Blizzard Beach
Animal Kingdom (until closing at 8PM - EMH)
If we're up for it, will do DisneyQuest

Wed, May 18
Islands of Adventure
Universal Studios (only if time, not big deal if we don't get to do it)

Thursday, May 19
Typhoon Lagoon
Epcot (until midnight-EMH)


Friday, May 20
Revisit one of the parks during the day (AK?)
Relax at pool
Do DisneyQuest (if didn't go on Tuesday)
Pleasure Island at night

Saturday, May 21
Sleep in
Magic Kingdom, see Spectro

Sunday, May 22
Revisit one of the parks in the morning (MGM EMH?)
Depature in afternoon

I think it's "perfect" for us. Unless it rains
Now I feel like we have plenty of time to do everything.

I forgot - you have kids?

For me, one day at a water park is enough. When I went to Blizzard Beach last summer, I was so pooped at the end of the day, we ended up just relaxing at the resort. I personally don't think it's necesary to go to AK more than once.. and I would prefer more time at MK, but that's just me.

Oh, and I don't know what the crowds are like in May... but on my trip a few weeks ago, we had no problems doing IOA and Universal in one day. Plus we went to Citwalk for a bit also.

Have fun!

 

[larklynn]

did you check closing times at AK? earlier in the month it closes at 5

 

[WDSearcher]

Looks great!

 

[marriedmarylander]

Oh, no kids.. Yeah that would be pretty hectic with kids.

Oh and AK has EMH evenings that night, 3 hours after 5 is 8PM.

Tuesday night, I'd skip any thought of Disneyquest... you don't want to burn out so quickly. It's good you built in a sleep-in day on Saturday! Two water parks is a lot of water parks... unless you really dig on water parks, I'd pick one or the other.

Also, which hotel are you staying at? Might make a difference on which park you hit on Friday and/or Sunday. Looks like you'll have a late night at Epcot on Thursday... and Epcot is a very exhausting park, it's so damn big. You might want to rest up a bit on Friday morning.

Thanks! DisneyQuest is probably going to be one of those "fit is when we have time" type of things. True I think we'll sleep in Friday

Looks good, I'd definitely not even consider DisneyQuest that first night. It will be way to crowded by the time you get there anyway. I would have one suggestion. I agree, I don't think you'll need another day at AK and I would sleep in Friday and head for Disney Question about 11:30 or noon. It's not crowded for the first few hours and gradually gets more so.

I'd then go in the afternoon over to the Market Place and look around all the shops. Plan a meal nice meal at one of the nice restaurants in DTD. And then spend your night at Pleasure Island. Also, we love going in the pool at night after coming back from the shows, so that might be a nice time to think about relaxing in the pool too. Very romantic at night too!!!

I guess my family falls at the opposite end of the spectrum. AK is our favorite park, and the only one we really try to slow down and savor. On a 4-day visit this past fall, dh and I (sans children that trip) spent 2 mornings and one afternoon at AK. We also love the waterparks. My ds 12 and ds 4 would visit one every day. The same could be said about DQ (which does nothing for me -- the sole non-video game junkie in my family -- even my dd 2.5 loves the things!!). Dh flat out refuses to leave WDW when we are there. Other, non WDW parks must be visited on totally separate visits.

Oh, one more note: We'll be a MK on May 21st. Let's hope the weather is good!
