Help planning!!

[MrsTigger]

Hi,

We off to WDW at the end of sept and I'm starting to plan where to eat etc as we have free dining. I've been using touringplans for the best days and wdwinfo for the projected opening times which have been really helpful.
But I'm trying to work out what days Fantasmic is on so I can plan which day to go to the studios.......I keep getting different days on diff website... anyone one know what it is likely to be?

Also I have we have to days where we want to have meals at hotels on the lake -on one day we're thinking of going to Epcot and on another HS. Am I right in thinking we can just get a bus from these parks to Wilderness lodge and Contemporary?

Sorry for the daft questions....

Fantasmic is usually on Thursdays and Sundays. Sometimes they put in extra shows, either 2 on 1 day or have an extra day.

Yes, buses run from all parks to all resorts. Just not from resort to resort.

From MK you can also get a boat to the hotels such as WL & GF

We are going in September too and the park hours schedule comes out in March.

We do a priliminarly idea of where we want to be each day but wait to see the scheduled list to work out our meals and parks, around the park hours.

If you want to get from epcot to the contempary I would get the monorail rather than a bus. Also make sure you give your self plenty of time as sometimes WDW buses run rather oddly. If traveling between resorts I would avoid DTD as a transfer point as it has a rubbish bus service.

If we are doing meals at resorts I plan it around the parks, for example we will plan to do MK if we are eating at the Polynesian or grand floridian and then get the boat or monorail to the resort. If eating at the yacht club or beach club we go to DHS or epcot, as it is easy to walk too or get a boat . The only park restaurants we tend to do now is epcot mostly as the resort restaurants are better.
