Check My Itinerary for Oct. 15 Thru 22, Please!

[zach33199]

There are 14 of us going to WDW from Oct 15 thru 22.

Sat Oct 15 -- Arrive around 3pm -- Downtown Disney
Sun Oct 16 -- AK then MNSSHP
Mon Oct 17 -- DS or MK
Tues Oct 18 -- Universal Studios
Weds Oct 19 -- Sea World
Thurs Oct 20 -- DS or MK whichever we haven't done yet, possible 2nd MNSSHP.
Fri. Oct 21 -- Epcot
Sat Oct 22 -- Fly Home

We have 3 guys who want to do the Petty Rookie Driving Experience. The only days they can do this are Sun, Mon & Weds. I think Weds is out because of going to Sea World. But not sure which day to have them do this on.

Everyone in our group are 1st timers except my husband & myself, but the last time we went was in 1996.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Hi!

We are going Oct 14-23 so I was curious to see your plans!

Perhaps we will see you on Sunday! We are planning AK in the morning then MNSSHP, too.

The only thing you might want to consider is Food & Wine Festival at Epcot is supposed to be crowded on weekends. Friday night might be crowded, especially since there is MNSSHP that night so MK will be closed. Just a heads up.

Have fun!!

I'm not sure if you have any younger children going with you, but if you do that is a pretty ambitious schedule you have even if the parks won't be that busy.

My only advice for MNSSHP is make sure you make plans too eat somewhere if your planning on eating in the park. Pecos Bills should be open for counter service, but if you plan a sit-down dinner in the park at say LTT, make sure you make a reservation at the 90 mark.

DH and I will be there the same time Oct 15-23. Because of MNSSHP and the Food and Wine Festival, I've changed our itineray so many times it's making my head swim! We have gone to WDW with groups before. Are all 14 of you sticking together every day? Do you all agree on the when and what? With us it seemed like we were doing more compromising than anything by not separating. Your itinerary looks good, but I agree that Friday night in Epcot might get a little crowded.

WOW, we will be there the same time also, Oct 14 thru 22, but all of our days will be at Disney.

I think your sch. looks really good.
have a great time

I know that you could enter the parks an hour early for the Early Entry if you were staying onsite. But, now I've read about P.M. hours too. Does that mean that particular park stays open an extra hour at night? Does that mean the Illuminations would be at 10 p.m. on that night?
Our trip is Oct 15-23. I'm trying to plan our itinerary, but with MNSSHP, the Food and Wine Festival, Extra Magic Hours and being on the new dining plan, I'm having a hard time sorting thru it all to come up with the right plan.
Do you usually avoid, or embrace, the parks with extra hours?
