Going in Sept? Share your plans!!

We are headed down Sept 26th thru Oct 3rd. Originally it was just the two of us and had booked POFQ with FD; since then we've decided to invite the niece and our plans have changed. She's 21 and has never been on a plane before, much less a vacation like this one so we upgraded to the Poly! Always wanted to stay there and now we have a reason LOL. So our tentative plans are this:

Sat, 9/26/09: Fly out of BNA (early flight) arriving in MCO just before 11 local time; check in at the Poly and get situated. Head to Epcot for our first ADR: Restaurant Marrakesh.

Sun, 9/27/09: Magic Kingdom Day!! Have an early breaky at the CP and then tour the park. I'll probably head back to the room for our grocery delivery at some point this day. Wishes/parades as available per the unknown park schedule.

Mon, 9/28/09: Hollywood Studios Day. We had planned on being here very little but with the newbie niece we've alotted more time here. Dinner plans for 50's Prime Time.

Tues: 9/29/09: Animal Kingdom Day! Love this park, and this time we'll be sure to see Festival of the Lion King, we've always missed it before. Head back to the Poly and regroup for dinner at Narcoosee's (soooo looking forward to this one).

Wed, 9/30/09: Epcot for Food and Wine, which is the real reason we chose to go back this time of year, the free dining is just an added bonus. Will tour, eat, drink, eat, drink, drink.....and hopefully can get ressies at Le Cellier for dinner.

Thurs, Oct 1st: DTD, shopping, lunch at Wolfgang Puck Cafe and later that night....MNSSHP! Love the Boo to You parade, can't wait to see it again!

Fri, 10/2/09: Going back to Epcot this day, its our favorite. See more of the food and wine, have dinner at Les Chefs de France (God willing) and be done in time for Illuminations.

Sat, 10/30/09: Check out and head back to reality :sad1:


Sound like a decent plan?
 
I am bringing my bf:wizard:32 and his sonpirate:9 for thier 1st trip to disney 9/19-9/26 arriving and departing early evening. We are staying at ASMusic...hopefully not country. I went for the 1st time this year...I'm 27...in April for 2 days. I did MK and HS, which we will be doing along with AK and Epcot(we have a 5 day pass). We purchased water park and more options with our tickets...bfs loves acardes(DQ)...I can't lie so does bf. I'm guessing bfs would like to do either or both water parks. Also the bfs is a huge thrill seeker so we are going to Universal for 2 day to do both the parks as well. I'm trying to figure out how we are going to fit this all in. What do we not do? FYI we have MNSSHP tickets too.

HELP!!!!! There's just too much to do and not enough time!:scared1:

It's pretty easy to fit both of the Universal parks into one day if you buy their fast passes and you know ahead of time what rides/attractions you really want to see, so that will help with your scheduling
 

We are going from 9/6-9/12 and are staying at the Coronado Springs Resort-
I am just starting to plan our meals and we have the hopper passes-
I am hoping to get the following ressies-
Le Cellier
Crystal Palace for Breakfast
Ohana
Hollywood and Vine for Fantasmic
Sci Fi Dine In
Tutto Italia
teppan eno
and maybe Biergarten-
We know it will be hot hot HOT, but we plan to do rope drops and then head to the pools in the afternoon, then back out later-
We are so excited! My son will be almost 3 and he is talking about it already-
any suggestions-

I compiled a list a few weeks ago of US and IoA rides that I consider must-sees, and then a couple more that you should try to do if you can. It may be possible to fit both parks in in one day if you get to IoA for park opening and work your away around the lands clockwise, doing the biggest rides. Then head over to US for RotM and Simpsons Ride first - you may not be able to get on Rip Ride Rockit late in the day, as it'll have only been open for a few weeks I think.

At Islands of Adventure: you have the following:
Spider-Man, Incredible Hulk, Popeye and Bluto’s Bilge Barges, Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls, Jurassic Park and Duelling Dragons.
Then over at Universal Studios:
Revenge of the Mummy, Simpsons, Rip Ride Rockit (hopefully in September!!), Shrek 4D, Jaws and Men in Black.

And the on top of that:
Poseidon Show, Sinbad Show, Dr Doom, Twister, ET, Earthquake, Jimmy Neutron, Terminator 4D.

I hope you get to do Universal, because it's so much fun :) I'm not too sure of height requirements I'm afraid as I've never been with any children, so I'm not sure if your BF's son would be able to get on the bigger ones - have fun whatever you do though! :thumbsup2
 
Okay, I think I just planned out our tentative ADR/Park schedule - this may change when EMH's come out, but I feel good about it. Can you all let me know what you think, since this is my first trip to Disney in almost two decades, and the first one where I've had to think about making ADRs?

We have the park hoppers, so the park listed for each day is just a guess to where we would spend the majority of the day - we'll probably switch it up at some point, esp. since we won't have a full day at DHS, we'll probably go there some other time in the week
We may see you at 'Ohana! It's my mom's bday on the 23rd and we will be celebrating there, if all goes well and we get an ADR. :wizard:

Thanks so much arbolita & Howellsy. It makes planning the week so much easier. I was on a couple other threads and a lot of people were saying that both parks take a day each, but other people I've been talking to say that 2 parks in 1 day is totally do-able.

Thanks again:rotfl:

Awesome! Just keep an eye our for our HM buttons (and you can see what I look like in my planning journal). I think to guarentee my getting Ohana, I'm going to let it be interchangable with Raglan Road or Whispering Canyon, but I'm definitely hoping to have it on the 23rd (or at least on a day when I'm able to do MK)
 
Wahoo! I just booked last night! We are going for my bday and to plan our Disney Wedding that will be in April 2010. I'm hoping I can convince DF to get tix for MNSSHP on my bday!!! I'm so excited! That's all I have planned right now :laughing:
 
Oops I forgot to add the dates we'll be there. :laughing: we will be arriving Monday Sept. 21 and leaving Saturday Sept. 26!!! Wahoo!
 
Very exciting, disneygal.

Do you know where you will be staying yet?

oh my, see how excited I am, I completely forgot to add that too! :laughing: We are staying at All Star Music this year! Never stayed there before but I've heard good things about it.
 
We will be down there in Sept as well, the 5th thru the 12th. We will be staying at POFQ. DD doesn't know about it yet...it is going to be a surprise, if I can keep it quiet that long. ;)
 
We're going Sept 19-28 at All Stars Music. :)

We'll all be singing Happy Birthday and scoping out, "Oh! Is that arbolita?"
 
Seems like All Start Music is popular for September (I'll be staying as well; 27th - Oct 2)....

Is this everyone's first stay at ASMu?
