Final Itinerary--any advice?

[ntengwall]

Ok--I think we finally have our itinerary down (I added Circ du Soleil and the pontoon boat just last night!!). Can you guys take a look and let me know what you think? Being new to Disney--I'm just not sure if it will work out well. I did use Tour Guide Mike to make our plan for the days in the parks. Also not sure about the afternoon rest with being off-site, but we'll give it a try. I can totally see the reason for it--just not sure about the logistics. Thanks again for all your help!

Looks good! Personally, I'd skip going back to the house in the middle of the day.. February will be a relaxed enough time of year where you shouldn't feel overwhelmed and the need to get away.. plus you're trying to hit two parks in one day, which is a lot to see and do, so I wouldn't have enough time to waste in going back to the house/hotel. You have a lot planned, so I don't think you have enough time for the rest in between.

Thanks for the advice! I am really unsure about that too and plan on getting a double stroller for my 3 1/2 y/o and my just turned 7 y/o. I know when we went to Kings Dominion this past summer for the day, they both conked out mid-afternoon in the double stroller! The 9 year old hung with us though

I think it looks great. You will love Hoop Dee Doo!

The only thing that sticks out is that you only have a possible half day planned for Epcot. You may be disappointed if you go to Epcot for only a half day.

I also would recommend not going back to the house for breaks, especially on Sunday when you go to AK in the am and then MGM in the afternoon. By the time you are done with lunch in AK, go back to the house for a break, and then get to MGM, it will probably be time for your dinner at Mama Melrose!

Otherwise, it looks fantastic...have a great trip!
