Looks good to me. I would leave that Sat. morn (18th) as an "open" day. It's near the end and by that time you will know what you want to see more of or didn't get to see on the other days.

Thats how I usually plan mine and have planned mine for my Dec 10-17 trip.

Have a great time.

Also, be aware that you may be sleeping in a while after the night of MVMCP. If you stay out til it ends (12:00)

Looks good.

Why not use Simba's Cubhouse instead of Cubs Den your night at Jiko's? That way the kids are close by, they get to be at a different childcare place, and if you go early enough you can let the kids do craft activities and explore and see the animals outside!

I do think of Sat as kind of open since we'll know by then what is really exciting to our group.

i think we'd be heading out of MVMCP around 10 but we'll see.

i'm going to look into that right now - you may have just saved me an hour of childcare time - thanks!!!!
