Day 1 Itinerary - Magic Kingdom

[fey_spirit]

Ok, somebody said it would be ok if I posted this here.
I've spent hours pouring over my plans for each day of my vacation, and I'm finally in the last stages. I thought I would post one day of the vacation a week so that the experts here on the list can tear through it and and help me decide what I'vd done right - and more importantly, what I've done wrong.

Important Notes: This trip is for two adults, on our honeymoon.
She has been 4 times previoulsy though not since the mid 90s and this will be my first trip. We don't want to take a nap because we don't want to lose the time, but I think if we take that downtime for shopping, and shows we should be ok...

We will be staying for the evening EMH (Which will allow us in the park until 11:00) so we can hopefully catch anything we don't manage in the morning.

Day 1 Magic Kingdom:

Wake up Call: 7:00
Grab Doughnuts and Bagels on the way out of hotel room
Drive to MK – Hit the Gates as close to opening as possible

Other Meals for the Day:

Lunch: Crystal Palace: 11:45
Dinner: CRT: 5:20

Share a Dream (3:00)
Wishes Start looking for VIP seating at 7:00

Upon entering the park grab FPs for Space Mountain
Then head for Fantasy Land and in this order: Ride Peter Pan, Pooh, and then Snow White. Then hit Small World and See if Cindy’s Carousel has a bench seat for us.
Stop through toontown only if they have Villans
Hop railroad to Fronteirland and do the following: Get an FP for Splash, and ride Big Thunder Railroad
Then off to Adventure Land for Aladdin’s Carpets, Jungle Cruise, Tiki Hut, POTC, back to Jungle Cruise for FP and first ride on JC (That way I can experience it both at night, and during the day)
Head to Liberty Square and finish off the morning's rides with Haunted Mansion.

I plan to knock off the rides between 11 and 6 in the evening... I'll spend that time going to see shows, and shopping in the MK. I'll also take advantage of my FPs and the TTA. Of course I wont rule out any rides that have a short wait time during this either - and I will continue to gather Fast Passes as available...

So - what do you think?

Although you may not want to nap, you might change your mind when you are there. Disney is a huge place with lots of people and so much walking. I am not much of a nap taker and even I need to stop once and a while. Consider building in some time to go back to your hotel and freshen up a bit.

Looks good

Were you going to use those Fastpasses you were getting?

No villians in Toontown, btw.

Personally, I'd get the Space FP, hit Buzz Lightyear, go back and do Space. Head to Fantasyland - FP for Pooh, hit Peter Pan and Snow White and Dumbo, do Pooh, then do Small World on my way through Fantasyland to Frontierland.

Well, I admit I haven't plotted rest into each day.
But for what it's worth the third day is a shor dat at AK and then to La Nouba... then the fourth day is all shopping at DTD and DQ - so I have planned restrul activities. It's just I don't know if I'll ever have the oppertunity to return and I want to do as much as possible.

Besides we've been taking ever Saturday and starting out around 9am and playing hard until 10 - 11 just to condition ourselves to this scheduale.

Does that sound any better?

I'm getting FPs for Splash, Space and Jungle Cruise.

Splash - So that I can ride it later in the afternoon when it's a little warmer (oops I forgot to mention the December 10th date)
Space - Because well, I can always come back to it later and this will allow meto get in the other rides I want to ride. I don't plan on rideing anything twice until I've had a chance to ride everything I want to once... I would be horribly upset if I missed out on doing something because I decided to do something else more then once.

I would rather cut off both arms then ride Buzz, so that's out.
I find the premise of the ride and the Buzz himself uber annoying (I know, I know this puts me completely in the minority... I can live with that.)
So fitting Buzz in is not an issue.

I would consider that FP in fantasyland except I don't think if I skip riding Space twice and don't ride Buzz, they'll let me get one by the point I arrive in Fantasyland.

Good then that means I can skip Toontown tottaly - I'll get all the other autos I want from character meals - and well I can always stand in line somewhere for Gepetto (The only non character meal character I just have to have.)
