Hello there!

In September I'll fly from the Netherlands to Orlando for 10-full days (and 2 half days for travelling) staying in the Pop Century. I've read all the websites, (un)official guides and the thousands and thousands of tips and tricks on this board. The time has come to ask for your expertise! :worship:

It's going to be my first time in Walt Disney World and it's my first time solo to Disney. I have done more solo vacations, but never to Disney. Except one day in Disneyland Paris. I have an Annual Pass at Disneyland Paris, know that park inside and out. Now I want to try something bigger! ;)

I'm on the Deluxe Dining Plan, so lots of ADR's for lunch and dinner. Breakfast I plan to have at the resort.

I know myself, eventhough I'm travelling solo, have plenty of time to see everything and September being low season, I'll probably end up running around. So I need some sort of a plan ::yes::

Let me know what you think about below schedule:
Day 1: Amsterdam - Atlanta
I work with KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines) and will be travelling on staff tickets, if I can't get on the flight, I can try again the next day.

Day 2: Atlanta - Orlando (arrival around 9:30am) - Epcot
Lunch: Coral Reef
Dinner: Rose & Crown - hope to get a good table to see Illuminations from.

Day 3: Hollywood Studios
Lunch: Sci-Fi
Dinner: Mama Melrose

Day 4: Epcot - evening in Magic Kingdom for evening parade and Wishes
Lunch: Marrakesh
Dinner: Biergarten

Day 5: Animal Kingdom - evening in Magic Kingdom for MNSSHP
Lunch: Yak & Yeti
Dinner: Boma

Day 6: Typhoon Lagoon (or Blizzard Beach) - Downtown Disney - no plans for the evening
Breakfast: Captain's Grille
Dinner: 1900 Fare

Day 7: Hollywood Studios
Dinner: California Grill

Day 8: Magic Kingdom
Lunch: Liberty Tree Tavern
Dinner: Tony's

Day 9: Epcot
Lunch: Le Cellier
Dinner: Tutto Italia

Day 10: Blizzard Beach (or Typhoon Lagoon) - Boardwalk - no plans for the evening
Breakfast: Kona

Day 11: Backstage Magic Tour, no plans for the evening
Dinner: Yachtsman's Steakhouse

Day 12: Animal Kingdom, no plans for the evening
Breakfast: Boma
Lunch: Tusker House
Dinner: Jiko

Day 13: No plans for the morning, plane leaves 16:30 back to Orlando, so lunch in the hotel and then to airport!

So what do you think! Things I should keep or things I should definitely change?
