Headed out in a few days, here's our plans

[Sea-Donkey]

I'm satisfied with this except for having Epcot the 1st 2 nights. We originally didn't have that and had Le Cellier instead of Teppan Edo, but we added 2 people to our group and had to update reservations a couple of months ago.

I'm not much of a fan of preplanning, but with having to do dining reservations you really have to. How's this look? We have one 7 yo girl and one 18 mo old girl...said I'd never take a toddler, but the parents are coming along to help.

You'll like Port Orleans...that's our favorite. We decided to try a pirate room at Caribbean Beach this time...haven't stayed there since the resort was new.

We had the reg. dining plan the last 4 times we went. We also stayed at POR & FQ all four times. After getting back the last time, my wife and I sat down and discussed how we could improve our stay the next time and the only thing we agreed upon were the table service meals. They required us to plan our days around them and after about day 3 we were no longer hungry for dinner (which is the only table service meals we eat at Disney) and it bacame a burden to go to these meals with all of the getting to the Resort bus stop, then rushing to get to the restaurant to get our name down. When I figured it all up were were spending anywhere between 2-3 hours getting to the bus stop and eating each day. Plus I would spend $30-$60 per meal on drinks and Gratuity. I was so pleased when the table service plan came out and knew we would go that route this time as we enjoy those meals and they take up so much less time, giving us more time to have fun. Also, we can eat whenever we want. I think that is the biggest thing for us, and I have researched the best places to go so we will be fine, and I can't wait.

Eating is entertainment to our family. We love the restaurants and the different decor. The table service meals give us time to take a break and talk about what we've done and what we have left to do. My family LOVES to eat, even my kids. They still enjoy most of the character meals too. I don't mind planning around the meals because to me that's half the fun in going to WDW is the planning. I spend months planning our next vacation and when we will do what. I love it but it's not so planned out that we're not flexible too.

We will also be there the 12-19th and will be staying at the POLY. Are you guys worried about the crowds. I used the Unofficial Tour guide this time to help with my planning due to the spring break crowds. I haven't needed to do this in the past so I hope it all works out. Aloha!

 

[msminnieears]

We usually go during this week and the crowds are manageable. Not as bad as summer months or holidays. I believe the guide they them a 7 which is about right. Key is to go early, take a mid-day break and go back late.

Did the online check in thing. Waiting on Friday...

 

[2minny]

we are leaving friday too, staying at bwi, can't wait, never stayed there. We love both por and cbr, usually stay at those two! What are you all planning to wear, low 70's for high. I was thinking capri's with running shoes, is that too dorky looking? And taking a zipper sweatshirt for mornings and evenings.

 

[Sea-Donkey]

Yep...weather is looking great for next week. I'll be sporting shorts/jeans and a T-shirt. The wife usually takes a pair of capris. I don't wear them...make my butt look fat.
