What do you guys think now?

We have tried to plan as per Simon's guide and also not going to certain parks on their early entry day.

Friday 24th Magic Kingdom
PS at Chef Mickeysat 07:20
Saturday 25th Animal Kingdom
Sunday 26th Epcot - Future World
Monday 27th Typhoon Lagoon
Tuesday 28th Shopping – Belz / Mall then Rest
Wednesday 29th MGM
Thursday 30th Islands of Adventure
Friday 1st Universal Studios
Saturday 2nd Animal Kingdom then Rest
Sunday 3rd Rest MK / MNSSHP
Monday 4th Blizzard Beach

Sunday 10th Epcot – World Showcase
Monday 11th Island of Adventure then Rest
Tuesday 12th Rest then Sea World
Wednesday 13th Magic Kingdom
Thursday 14th DTD Check - In then ???

We decided to do 1.5 days in Seaworld / Islands and AK just incase we enjoyed them so much and wanted to do things again, just now sure if we will do the half a day in the morning or afternoon.

With the rest of the parks (except MK of course) we opted for 2 days so that we can see things at a more relaxed pace.

Have also classed Typhoon and Blizzard and kind rest days as we will be getting there slightly later and leaving late afternoon so we have the evening to relax.

All comments appreciated.

Thanks for your help

Lou

That is some schedule and I am slightly envious to be honest.

In my experience of IOA (4 times, 3 times in June and once in September) it is rarely a full day park. We got in there at 9am in September 2000 and were done by early afternoon and that was having ridden Spiderman about 10 times. If it is hot, then I suppose the water rides lengthen the day but we only waited a max of 15mins on all rides that year.

It all depends on the day. We've skated around parks with no queues on 3 occasions but on our first trip we were waiting 2 hours+ for Splash Mountain. Fastpass is a godsend these days.

Enjoy yourself, and please rest. There is so much to do but its not a military exercise.

you seem to have a nicely balanced schedule there but i will offer 2 pieces of advice.

1. you have typhoon and belz close together. It might be worth pulling it out of the schedule as a free floater. IE you get so many days in. you're a day or 3 off a rest day, so you insert one of these two in there to help recuperate.

2. dont be afraid to go with the flow. if something comes up that looks like its going to change the schedule or you REALLLLY want to do something again and cut something out just do it.
Remember the schedules only a guideline. go with your gut instinct over the schedule once you're there.
 
I'd be inclined to give Belz a miss totally.

Vastly over-rated imho.

Florida Mall is the one, or alternatively the mall in Downtown Orlando whose name escapes me at the moment.

Florida Mall or Premium Outlet Mall over Belz anyday.
