HELP!!! Need advice

[JoGloMorKat]

Information overload is starting to set in as I try to finalize some trip plans before my 90 reservation windows start to open.

We'll (me, DW, DD8 and DD7) will be at WDW from 6/27 - 7/6. We'll be driving in from Cocoa Beach early the 27 and leaving early the 6th for home. 6-27 to 7/3 we'll be off site (it was free) and 7/4&5 at ASMu.

I'm planning on a 7 day PHP with 2 off days for a water park and DTD.

Here's my dilema. The kids won't be able to do all day at the park (open to close) and then get back up the next day even with a nap. This means I have to schedule the early days in a row and the late days next to the late days.

My big concern is July 4th. From reading the boards it looks like it gets pretty full at MK that day. I do want the kids to see the best Fireworks display available. I'm going to try and reserve on of the wishes boat trips for that day.

My current plan is:
Sunday 27 Epcot by 10am
Monday 28 MGM at opening
Tuesday 29 MK at opening
Wednesday 30 Water Park
Thursday 1 AK at opening then MGM for early Fantasmic
Friday 2 MK arrive late and stay late
Saturday 3 Epcot LAte and Illuminations
Sunday 4 Off day DTD/DQ Fireworks cruise
Monday 5 Kids Choice (re-ride favorites)

Its the Friday/Sat/Sun/Mon that I'm most unsure about. If I can't get the Wishes cruise may swap sat and sunday.

I would appreciate any advice/wisdom/tips from the boards.

I think your schedule looks pretty good. I assume on 6/30 you're going to the water park later in the am and not first thing in the morning. This will give your kids a chance to sleep in and recover from 3 busy park days (including two early days).

If you can't get the Wishes cruise, perhaps you can make a late PS for 'Ohanas and watch it from there. I'm not sure what time the fireworks start that day and how late 'Ohana is open.

Make sure you use FP. Read the various websites for tips on how to maximaize FP usage.

Most of all--enjoy yourself. Everything will be fine.

Although remember that the water parks can get full very early in the summer! I'd make it another early day and ride the slides first thing and then laze around once it got crowded!
