Our 60 day window opened this morning (4 AM PST ). I've now experienced scrambling to switch days around because FOP of course wasn't available the day I originally planned for AK.
Some background on us. 2 adults, 1 child age 9. Not first timers, but last went when child was much younger and heavily into the Princesses. Last trip focused on Character Dining, and standing in line after line to meet Princesses. Focus of this trip is rides!! Only ADR we are doing is BOG. I know 3 days is short, but it kind of worked out that way.
July 2 evening- Arrive at Resort (POP)
July 3-
8:20 AM- ADR at BOG (trying to switch this to earlier if possible like 8:00). After breakfast head straight to Mine Train to attempt to ride before RP. Then focus is on Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Pirates of Caribbean, Haunted House before lines get extremely long. I understand we may only do a few of these. Which is totally fine. Have been to DL many times and I find MK the most similar for rides there.
12:00-1:00ish- eat lunch QS, possibly go back to resort for mid day break, flexible here, will depend on how tired/hot we are. Probably eat early dinner at resort before heading to HS.
6:20-7:20 FP for TOT at HS
8:05-9:05 FP for Rockin 'N' Roller
9:20-10:20 FP for Slinky Dog Dash
Go back to resort, pass out!
July 4-
Sleep in! Breakfast at resort.
10:00 AM- water park. Most likely Typhoon Lagoon.
Mid afternoon/late afternoon- Head back to resort, shower, change, head to Epcot. Dinner at Epcot, QS.
7:45- 8:45 FP for Soarin.
Ride whatever else isn't crazy packed, walk around, watch 4th of July Fireworks.
July 5-
Breakfast at Resort
Arrive at AK at RP. Attempt to ride Navi, other non FP rides, explore, eat lunch QS.
1:00-2:00- FP for Safaris
2:05-3:05- FP for Expedition Everest
3:20-4:20- FOP
After that we are open, maybe hop to another park.
July 6
Leaving for airport around 2:30/3 pm. Might check out Disney Springs, swimming at resort.
Thoughts? Changes you'd make? We will be on the DP for food, using on site transport, no car rental. We want to do a lot of the must have rides, but also don't want to feel exhausted. I'd love some pool time. Never been to the water parks there. I actually wanted to do both, but pretty sure I can't squeeze that in. I wanted to avoid MK on the 4th. Any issues getting into Epcot that night? Will they hit capacity? Ideas for other FP to book at Epcot? Can't do Frozen apparently since I booked Soarin. Thank you!!
