Our traveling party include me (35), My Godmother (60), my DS (11) and my DD (8). This is me and my kids 4th Disney trip and our 2nd trip traveling with my Godmother (Nanny if you're from the south!)

Our plans are... Arrive late on Oct 11th. Our flight will land at 11:35pm so we will head to POP and just crash for the night.

Day 1 MK: Head straight to meet Princess Elena (DD's request), then to Seven Dwarfs (we could not get FP's for this. We will make our way around fantasyland and end up at Pinoccho Village Haus for lunch. Depending on time we have FP's for peter pan for 1:05. So we'll either do that right before lunch or right after.
Then we have FP's for buzz at 2:10 and Space at 3:40
Dinner reservations at Cinderella's Royal Table at 5:40 (A first for all of us)
This is a party night and we are not attending this night so after dinner we will head back to the room

Day 2 HS: We could not get slinky Dog Fp's so we will head straight there and do standby.
We have FP's for Alien swirling saucers at 9:50 and then to Toy story mania then grab a late breakfast/early lunch at woody's lunchbox
We have FP's for Rock n rollercoaster at 12:10 Then we'll do beauty and the beast at 1 and then my Nanny and DD will to ToT. We plan on catching Frozen before our 3:20 FP for Star Tours. I also would like to squeeze in Indiana Jones at 4:45 before our 5:20 reservation at 50's prime time. We've never seen the Indiana Jones show. After Dinner we'll try and see the new Disney Jr show and Little mermaid before finding a spot for Star wars Galactic Spectacular

Day 3: Late Breakfast at Ohana 11:30
BBB at Disney Springs for 2:15 (not sure about transportation to and from just yet)
MNSSHP
FP's for splash at 4:05 and Big Thunder for 5:10
Lot's of fun and running around at the Halloween party!

Day 4 AK: We know we will be tired from the night before but we are going to push through!!
The only FoP FP I could get was for 10:55. So the plan is to head to Dinosaur for our FP at 9:15 and do some things over there. Then head to Pandora for our FP, Na'vi River Journey (if the line isn't too long) and lunch at Satuli Canteen. We'll then do tough to be a bug, Finding Nemo (maybe) , and FP for Everest at 2:15. Hopefully get a 4th FP for kali and then we have Yak and Yeti reservations at 4:30. After dinner we'd like to make it to the 6pm Festival of the Lion king. Then had back to Pandora to see it at night. Of coarse we'd ck out the tree of life on the way out.

Day 5 Epcot: Our flight leaves at 5:30pm. We'll ck our luggage at POP before heading to Epcot. We Plan on heading straight to Soarin', then FP's for Test track at 9:45, Mission Space at 11:30 and Space ship earth at 12:45 (we'll do this if we have time). We will squeeze in what we have time for to fill in the gaps. We're thinking... Disney Pixar short films, Frozen and quick service lunch at La Cantina. We know we need to be heading back by 1 to be able to catch the bus probably for 2.

Thoughs??
 
I know your DD wants to meet Elena, but I would do SDMT and then Elena.

We have always had FP's for SDMT so I wasn't sure how fast the line would build. I've been checking the wait times on my app :) We may switch that up. Thanks!
 

It sounds like a fun time. The only issue I see is the early morning after the Halloween party. We did the Halloween party this year and we didn't leave the park until 12:30am. We couldn't get a MinnieVan since they stop at 12:30am and the bus took 20 minutes to get there. We were staying at the BWI and by the time we got to the hotel is was 1:20am. By the time all the kids settled in and got to bed it was after 2am. We let them sleep in the next morning. I would change your fastpasses for AK and make FOP the first FP for that day. Enjoy the party - it is so much fun. Are you guys going in costumes?

I'd have to agree. We had a BOG reservation before the park opened and were allowed on SDMT early. We got off the ride at 9:04 and the line was almost to the teacups. This was 2 weeks ago, so hopefully your crowds won't be as bad, but keep that in mind.

That’s a good idea! I’m going to go look at our plans for the AK day and see if I can move that first FP. We are going to be M&M’s! We know the Florida heat so just t-shirt costumes.

Wow!! Definitely changed it so that we head straight there. We also decided to get to MK early and take advantage of some shopping on Main Street before the official park opening. We are going to do pin trading for the first time! So we want to shop for those and get our castle pics all before park opening.
