We are FL residents so we will be back, but this is our first time with our DD who will be just shy of 2. It will be DH, myself, SIL and BIL. Arriving Thursday Jan 28 - tuesday Feb 2. SIL and BIL will only be there Fri-Sun and want to do all 4 parks if possible. We are staying at AKL. We will have a car. DD typically naps from 12-2, but can be flexible. She fights sleep if there is a lot going on and even if she does fall asleep in the stroller (doubtful), it won't be a good sleep or as long and she will be a crab the rest of the day.


Thursday
-Arrive 4pm check in, Head to MK
-FP for peter pan
-FP for wishes (it is the only time its at 8pm which won't be too late for DD).

Friday Animal Kingdom/Epcot
-9:25 FP for Safari-
-10:30 character meet and greet
-11:30 festival of the lion king
-go back for a nap
Epcot in the eveing

Saturday Epcot
-8am reservation for Akershus (thinking of switching to lunch if open)
-See what we didn't get to on friday
-nap
HS in the evening
-4:10-5:10 Star tours (use rider swap) (not sure how long this will take
-5:20-6:20 Toy story mania FP
-5:50 Minnie dinner at H&V


or I can switch the Minnie dinner to Monday night if still open

Sunday MK
-8:20am CP breakfast
-9:50-10:50 Mine train (rider swap)
-11:40 haunted mansion
-12:40 Winnie the Pooh
-1:40 BOG lunch

(this will be really hard since we will have a large breakfast and DD will be over due for a nap) This was the only time I could get BOG and I really want to do pre park opening CP and BOG. I'm not sure where we could fit it in anywhere else.
-nap
-AKL for dinner (Sanaa)

Monday MK with HS in the afternoon if we switch the Minnie dinner. I don't have FP for this day.
or MK half day and then Sanaa for dinner this night.


I would also like to fit in a hair cut for DD in MK barber shop somewhere. Maybe if we arrive early enough on Thursday. Any changes/tips?

Honestly, the days look good to me, with the exception of the last day, which you've acknowledged. Your DD will be sooooo past her nap it won't even be funny. The big thing to consider there is - do you think a cranky, overtired 2 year old is actually going to let you enjoy your dinner at BOG? I know mine sure wouldn't have! I would see if you can do BOG another day, another time or... skip it. I would also move your Winnie the Pooh to later in the day. Can you move your Haunted Mansion a bit earlier even? Myself, I'd do that, leave the park for the nap, then come back in time to watch FoF, and do Winnie after that. See if you can get BOG for dinner.

I would do your haircut Monday during your morning at MK.

As for the Minnie dinner... you'll be pushing it Saturday to get TSMM done in time for the dinner. You probably *could* get it done if all goes well, and you more or less run from one to the next. But I think it'd be better to either a) do dinner then TSMM (if you can get a FP+) or as you said, switch the dinner to Monday.

I wasn't able to get BOG for dinner and would actually prefer to do a QS lunch there. I was holding onto it for Sunday so that SIL and BIL could join, but maybe Monday would be a better choice. Its so hard to tell how she will be. Sometimes she is fine taking a late nap, but I just don't know. Like today she was up til 2 and just fine. Sure she was tired, but wasn't crabby or anything. I'm move WTP til later so it will be after her nap.

For Sat, there aren't any earlier FP for TSMM except early in the morning when we will be at EP. I can however move the Minnie Dinner to a bit later (6:30).

Thanks for the help :)
