Hello - help with my park days please?

[petrola]

Hi all!
We will be going to WDW early November and cannot figure out how to plan two days – November 4 and 5.

We have not yet been to Toy Story Land and my DS, 4 is very excited to go so we are definitely planning on a HS day and my DH would like to do F&W so Epcot is on our list also.

We are at the Poly staying CL, so hoping to catch breakfast in the lounge before heading out – but we can also skip the CL breakfast as we have a PPO ADR for breakfast at Garden Grill on November 4.

If we stay with the Epcot PPO on the 4th then it would be HS on Nov 5. Based on park hours, HS has EMH on Nov 5, we would need to be on the bus by 7am to get to HS by 8 which means missing breakfast for the kids (read: cranky kids who are used to eating within 15 minutes of waking)– or I guess getting them something at the park after RD.

For Epcot, we always use our Tier 1 FP for FEA – as both my kids love that ride, but DD also loves Soarin.

So.. we want to sign DS up for Jedi training, and do TSM in the morning, if possible. (He has no interest in SDD – so that would be just me and DD and DH and DS could FP Alien Saucers for later in the day.)

Should we keep the PPO ADR on the 4th at Epcot to try to get in a ride on Soarin at 9am – or should we just do breakfast in lounge and do HS on the 4th and Epcot on the 5th? Or should we try for a PPO breakfast at HS to be early in line for Jedi sign up? If we choose HS on the 4th – with 9am park opening is it very hard to get a spot for Jedi training then do TSM? Or should we just plan on one or the other?

Sorry for all these questions, but these are the ones swirling around in my head and everyone here has so much experience, I just know you will come up with a better plan than I can!

Ok, I'll help out, but just keep in mind I do not have kids, but if I did this is how I would plan it. I really don't know how much your son will like Toy Story since it's all outside and only two new rides and he doesn't really have any interest in SDD. I would def pack some breakfast bars to hold the kids over, this is what I don't know about. I don't know if you can sign your son up for Jedi training so early in the morning with EMH's so I would still get up early get them a packable breakfast, get them to the bus then follow the crowd, most will go to SDD so stop off at the Alien and then take your son for the Jedi sign up. But still do your FP for Slinky in the evining. its a slow ride so still fun for the family.

As for Epcot, yes keep your breakfast and then just hit soarin, if they have all four running then it shouldn't be that long at all. Plus a lot of people now run to Frozen now that its open with the main park.

thank you! I didn't even think of doing Alien saucers first before Jedi sign up! that sounds like a great idea...

I would keep it as you have it.

On the HS morning I would just eat breakfast in your room.
