Saturday - Leave

EP - I would not do GotG and TT right after lunch . . . perhaps do Spaceship Earth after lunch followed by TT and GoTG.

MK - you mention cookies prior to 7 pm, but no party related activities/snacks will be available until the party officially starts. I would not eat at The Plaza during party time. If you really want a TS, I would consider doing it between 4 - 7 pm and be out by 7 pm to enjoy the party.

DHS - If there is only one show, I would consider lining up earlier than 30 minutes prior.

AK - I would do Gorilla Falls after the Safari as the Safari exit path leads directly to Gorilla Falls - if you do Planet Watch first, you will have to backtrack. Finding Nemo is about 40 minutes long, so riding FoP and then riding Nav'i around 4:30 pm isn't very realistic given the walk between attractions and how long FoP takes even with LL. If it were me, after Pongu Pongu, I would try to enjoy some of the holiday offerings at AK - the puppet and the tree awakenings in the evening.

Also, keep in mind that with holiday crowds, it just takes longer to walk between attractions, too.

Thanks!

EP will move Spaceship Earth and then we can work our way back - great call
MK plan to get the Main St cookies right at 7 then dinner reservation. Unfortunately 7:10 was the only res I could get. I’m not completely set on it, but grabbed one in case we really needed to sit and eat for a bit. We may end up skipping.
DHS we have the Fantasmic Dining package so I think we can get there 30 min and be ok, but please let me know if I am mistaken!
AK - the site said 25min for Nemo, so I should plan for 40. Yes I don’t want to cut into my Pandora time. I will have to play with that a bit. Good idea about making time for AK holiday offerings I will have to research more!
