So what kind of planning is everyone doing now for your February trip……Since we cannot make ADR’s and the Calendar isn’t out yet. I’m in limbo. How about everyone else?

Right now my DW and I are looking at restaurants to make ADR's at when the 27th rolls around. Also been looking for stuff to do while we are there. Found the BBB which I think my DD4 will love, especially the night we eat at Askerhaus.

I've also been reading up on pin trading since I think I want to get in that while we are there.

I have been deciding which restaurants we'll try. Also marking the rides in my UG book that the boys can go on. I have been making my own touring plans for each park based on the rides/shows that are not to be missed for my boys. I have been going back & forth on what to do the day we leave. We normally have an earlier flight, but this time we have more time.

We booked the QSDP, so don't expect to need too many ADR's. I would like to go to Chef Mickey's for breakfast and maybe Primetime or SciFi. But with a DS5 and DS11, we don't expect them to sit still long enough for table service nor to eat that much. A good salad at Cosmic Ray's or Sunshine Season will be good enough for us.

Ticket wise, we have some left over hoppers we're planning to use, so we booked a 2-day base ticket with the package. We'll do our first two days at MK and EC without hopping, then take Wed. off and do AK and Studios on Thursday and Friday when we can hop back to MK or EC as desired.

How's that sound?

Welcome. you've been added.

After 14 trips here's how I do my itinerary. This has been copied from my Pre Trip Report...stop on by!!!!! Click on the link on the bottom of my post in my signature.

Chapter 35. Itinerary Draft 4.

Okay so some info about my itinerary. I put times down. This does NOT mean I try to stick to the time at all. I just like to set some guidelines for our group to follow. If we don't set guidelines, many times we don't get enough down time/nap time....at the end of our trips we often say how we wish we had more rest time or just free time. So I try and set "guidelines"

So here it is..........

Questions

For the 4 day solo part of my trip I am doing the DDP-4 CS/4 TS. On Sunday I will be finishing up my QSDP, so I won't be using any of my DDP meals that day. On my last day, I will basically be packing up and leaving, probably no meal credits used there. SOOO...I have 4 CS/4 TS to use in 3 days. I currently have CS meals at Leaning Palms, Mara, Mara. TS I have Jiko (2TS) and Kouzzina...On Wednesday I can do a CS or TS at DHS......what would you do....Here is also a list of TS on my radar:

Sanaa
Brown Derby
Boma
Flying Fish
Sci Fi
Mama Melroses
Kona Cafe....

I am not really wanting 2 TS meals at AKL/V....even though the restaurants there are highly regarded, but maybe that's the way to go....HELP.

I am also still not liking the schedule for the last 4 days. Can't put my finger on it yet....

 

[nemofans]

Wow, those are specific!

 

[jordanyosh]

Wow, those are specific!

Yeah...they are most just guidelines to follow...it usually ends up we get to parks later and stay later, cutting into the rest/nap time....

The good thing for me this year is I'm staying separate from the rest of the group. So if they are not up for getting to parks at rope drop, I can still do it and then meet up with them later.

 

[SRICE100]

Do we know for sure that February park hours are released on the 27th? Just curious as I get up early to make my ADRs!

 

[CM1221]

If you can change our resort. We upgraded from ASMo to Caribbean. Thank You.

 

[LaurenT]

We're going Feb 23 - 28...I got the OK from teacher to pull my litle angel out of first grade for a few days. I'm hoping that going the week after President's week will mean fewer crowds....

 

[Microcell]

Draft 4...

You plan like we do!

We have 6, count em 6 possibilities for what parks to do when based on everything from past park hours to anticpated crowds!

Sometimes travel agents get information a day or two in advance of the general public. If someone is already using a travel agent, you might want to check with them.

Congrats on the upgrade. I'll go edit it right now!

I have 3 different scenarios going right now. It gets that way when you have multiple family units ( single, couple w/o kids, married with 3 kids) going with you.
