Wow! I have no suggestions at all. It looks like a great plan to me.

Looks great! I'd maybe think about getting rid of your FP for Under the Sea and changing it to Space Mountain. That's assuming your kids like coasters. Have a great trip!

Looks good I would potentially change out Splash and Journey of the Little Mermaid for other FP's. Splash tends to have a short wait time when the weather is cool and Mermaid uses omnimovers so the line is generally very short even in the busy season.

Just a few things to consider:

on 12/22 @ EP -

Maybe consider switching Spaceship Earth and Test Track FPs? Or maybe making Spaceship Earth for around the time you expect to be heading out of the park. Seems like you would be walking out to Test track, then backtrack to the front of the park before walking back to tour World Showcase. I would have Test Track be your last planned FW attraction, then walk to WS. If you are at Epcot at rope drop, maybe try doing Soarin' first thing without a FP?


for 12/24 @ AK -

You note arriving at AK at 10am yet your first fast pass is for Expedition Everest between 9-10am. Expedition Everest is a walk once you are in the park. I'd put that FP time a bit later. You'll get wet on Kali. Not a popular ride in the winter. Maybe get a FP for the Safari or something else instead?


Have a great holiday trip!
