Does this trip plan change make sense?

[Duckiedee]

We were originally showing up the day before our first of 10 park days... but now we are spending a chill hotel day the day between arriving and Disney.

Originally I was planning on having a sleep in/water park day the 2nd park day as a somewhat down day - but am now thinking about rearranging this.

I'm trying to sprinkle the water parks days around for mini-sleep-in's as we are a Rope Drop Family.

It's pretty much impossible to change everything else due to the DxDDP and ADRs....

Original Plan with possible changes in BOLD.

Sun - Arrival Day
Monday - Hotel day and maybe DS
Tues - MK
Wed - currently Blizzard Beach followed by Supper/Fantasmic/Star Wars in DHs CHANGE TO full day at DHS
Thurs - AK
Fri - EP
Sat - Typhoon Lagoon - DS in evening.
Sun - MK
Mon - EP
Tues - DHS CHANGE TO Blizzard Beach Day followed by an early night in hotel or DS
Wed - AK
Thurs - MK
Fri - Departure Day

I'm pretty sure you'll be changing every again. Just a feeling.

I think the change makes sense because on your second day you might to need a sleep in day as much as you will need it later in the trip!

the whole plan just seems a bit too jam packed in my opinion.
sooo many park days! not enough time to recover!

i guess if you can swap those two days then do it because at least then you'll have a little better of a breakup in theme park days vs sleep in/water park days.

i hope you're not planning to spend the entire day every day at the parks because you will get burnt out without some more downtime than you are showing.
and that's coming from a commando RD to park close type person.

The park sadly are closing between 8:30/9 each day. We also do on average 3 TS meals a day to slow it all down.

3 TS meals a day?? Over 10 days? Holy smokes.

Dxddp!!! That's an average though... A couple days are not like that.... But most park days are. (We've a few 2TS credit meals)

I'd feel like all I was doing was eating the whole time!

It's our down time/character time. Saves lots of time waiting in line for characters. And we love love love the theming at the restaurants!

yikes that's a bit too much in my opinopn too.
i don't think i would ever do 3 TS meals twice in one day let alone 3 times per day!
even if its not EVERY day that's still A LOT of TS meals.
its a lot to eat and a lot of time. i know i said you need more down time but personally i'd opt to use that down time to rest not to eat lol.

 

[Duckiedee]

thanks everyone. I'm going to switch those days. I don't think we need more than one DHS the way things are so slow there right now.

The DxDP all depends on how you eat. Yes it can be wayyyyyyyyyyy too much food. We found it worked very well for us. We arent commandos at all. If we use our 3 fp in a day id be shocked. My sister needs a ton of rest and regular meals. Time to decompress is also important to her. When we did the DxDP we scheduled meals at 7:30 1 and 7:30. The key is to eat till your full not till you get your moneys worth. We also enjoyed trying all the lovely apps and felt no need to finish our plates. Most times we took our desserts back to the room for a snack later or just had a taste of it. We loved the DxDP we ended up spending about what we would have just ordering what we would have eaten, but we got to try soooo much more food.

Yes but my issue with that schedule is if I had a TS ap 1pm I wouldn't be hungry at 7:30pm. Each to his own but I couldn't do this
