Going May 10th-17th! Advice?

[AustinWells]

Staying at POP for 7 nights mid may, 10-17th and have 6 day park hopper and dining plans with my girlfriend, we are both early twenties. we have dining reservations set up and planned out what parks to go to what days (little early I know but we are so excited and kinda needed to plan dining ressies)

5/10 -- Arrive around lunch, plan to do Disney quest/mini golf

5/11 -- Pre opening CP ressie before a long day at MK with extra magic hours late that night

5/12 -- Early 1900 park fare ressie and then epcot all day and possibly DD that night

5/13 -- Sleep ( a little lol) then AK till 6:30 ressies at whispering canyon and HS for extra magic hours

5/14 -- HS that morning with 5:00 pm ressies for coral reef and then boardwalk possibly that night.

5/15 -- Tusker House before opening @ 8 then AK till close and MK for EMH

5/16 -- HS for Star Wars Weekend and then ressies at Chefs De France at 7:50 and epcot till 11

I know ive planned a lot and probably too early but that's just the person I am, lol, I want to make sure we have time to do everything a couple times. Ive been to Disney over 20 times as a kid and my mother actually used to work there as I grew up in South Florida, we are driving from South MS and Im super excited, was just wondering if anyone has any opinions. With the multiple days at each park, im not worried about our ability to do everything even with the limited FP+.

Thanks in Advance!!!

We are going to be there part of the same time. I always get in Florida a day early so I can take full advantage of my first day so we stay in Orlando then head to Disney in the morning. We will arrive at the World on the 8th and head out on the evening of the 14th. I'm also planning on being in MK EMH. I plan on taking advantage of the double parades and fireworks that night to ride attractions. The night before we are going to view the Fireworks and Parade. Your plans look good to me.

I think for most of your trip the crowds will be nice. MK is always crowded on Friday evenings and Saturdays but I don't think Sunday will be that bad. I hope you and your family have a safe fun trip.

Thank You!

Yeah we were originally going to just drive up early the first day and do 6 days of parks straight, but decided to come early and have a day to settle in a relax. My girlfriend and I are not much of parade goers so we will take that time to take advantage of little wait times.

hope you all have an awesome trip as well!

We'll be there May 14th -19th and I already have our entire itinerary planned too - the planning is half the fun for me!

Make sure you don't end up trapped by the night time parade at MK. Despite my careful over-planning, we always seem to get trapped on Main Street till Wishes AND the fireworks are over since they turn the lights off and don't really let you move and then have to try and navigate through a gazillion people trying to leave while we're trying to get to Fantasyland to enjoy our EMH. I'm determined to avoid that this May by getting there before anything starts - especially because the fireworks are pretty amazing from Fantasyland - but we'll see. It probably wouldn't feel like a real Disney trip if we don't end up stuck watching that darned parade yet again...
