Help with my 2 week plan! first trip to wdw!

[Blanquita]

I think you have a great plan, but the key is to be flexible and actually schedule your Flights of Passage and seven dwarfs mine train at the end of the trip because you may get earlier times. Then if you can book just others that you want to see you can always see if anything might pop up and reschedule. Some others had said not to schedule early, I kinda disagree, schedule early so you can keep scheduling more and the rides you go on inbetween your fast passes are gravy and since you are park hopping you can start scheduling fast passes at the other park.

Hi Elsa!!!

thats a good advice, thanks!! About the hours for the fastpasses, thats what i thought! maybe we will be able to get more in th afternoon

 

[Blanquita]

Looking good, Blanquita! You are getting there and are getting lots of good advice here. I notice you ask about using the pool on checkout day. As far as I know you can, but not that you will have to be out of the room by 11 am, so consider that aspect.

You are right! i imagine we can leave our luggage at the hotel till the magic express hour?
There are too many good adviceeees i will reformulate some of the plans now

If you go out the morning of your checkout, you can leave your bags with the Luggage Services at the hotel and pick them up before your MDE pickup time. The pickup time is pretty early (I know it's 3 hours prior for domestic flights; I think more for international). They will give you the exact time of your pickup during your stay.

I personally don't think it will be too bad. Easter is early next year (April 1) so you might catch some of the crowds from that window, but the week after the week starting with Easter Sunday typically sees the crowds drop. Also remember, you have fourteen full days! That's plenty of time, even if it's crowded. I wouldn't worry about that stuff too much.

Hey guys!!!! i have just changed the plans with your advices and some more research! (i edited the first post) any new feedback? what do you think?? Thanks!!!!!

Looks like you has used up your table credits but have 4 counter ones left. A good tip that we have used. Food portions are big even with counter service so you can share a meal and have another counter service credit left (you can only do this for counter service). We also tend to skip a meal here and there. Usually lunch. We take those credits then to use for breakfast. We typically do not end up paying for a meal.

Also, Just a suggestion but not necessary. I would make my fastpass for Frozen the same day as your meal at Akurshus. We try not to cross the park several times. It just saves some walking.

You are totally right! i will change it right now again, i dont know where thing are in the parks and that make it more difficult.
And yes, we have 6 more meals to do and 4 tickets we may share, dependng on what we find i guess, as they are counter service and i dont have to make reservations for them we'll see

Thanks! these tips help me a lot

Pecos Bills is in MK and with the toppings bar the fajitas are enough for two people.

First of all thanks for your help! we are thinking about booking fastpasses starting at 10.30 or 11.00, so we can get maybe more of them after.
i Will change the flight of passage one to everytime we can hahaha

I choose the blacklot cause i heard good thing about it and we dont have many table service left..

We will spend for sure more time at Disney Spring (thats why i keep 2 table service left too ) but i dont know yet where to put them and i guess we will improvise on the afternoons when to go.

I forgot about satuli canteen! i will add it right now!

The fireworks dessert party may be out of the budget even more becoause my husband doesnt like much sweet! but i will investigate it more

Calling Disney is hard! hahaha i feel super insecure about my English on the phone, i will try to email them and hope they can add it. If i do it like a different reservation would it be a problem?


Thanks again a lot!

Cool on backlot. It does have a bit more variety than some other counter service options for sure. Counter service at Disney is pretty hit and miss but you have some great table service restaurants to more than make up for it.

The Disney Springs restaurants and time you added are excellent.

Good idea on email instead of phone. Or maybe live chat just to get more immediate attention? The only thing about getting one reservation is that you maybe would not have to change rooms. That just gets you back to having to cart your bags another time. But either way, it should work out fine. Being on resort instead of at the airport seems better.

 

[Blanquita]

Well! to keep you update i listened to your advice and i booked the first night at the resort too! I'm so excited! IIt was more expensive but then they told me now i have one more dining plan day so.. super worth it! Thanks for all the help! I'm still doind the plan and i wonder when the day of making the restaurants reservations arrive, how should i proceed? more difficults restaurants before? first days before? last days before?

I tried to email them but they dont let you change anything through email it was a bit difficult but i manage to call and talk with them in English! (so proud of myself) hahaha So now we'll have the same room for all the 15 days and we have more food day on our dining table plan! Thanksss!!!

I would focus on the more difficult ones first.

Do keep in mind that you can book **most** of the dining reservations for your trip 180 days before the first day of your hotel reservation. So you should be pretty good to get what you want since you have a long trip. I say **most** because I believe that's limited to 10 days.

Also on Day 12 you have Nemo, Character Spot and Frozen. As long as you do them in that order, you're good, but Nemo is literally the furthest away from World Showcase so it's a ton of walking. Generally you don't need a FP for Nemo anyway lol. I would try Soarin or Test Track for a FP instead.

I think you cannot have fastpass of frozen and soarin or test track at the same time, dont you?

 

[piglet1979]

Book your hardest to get first. As a previous post mentioned I am also pretty sure it is only 180 +10 so your last 5 days you will have to do on other days.

We like to schedule our fast passes for late-morning or early afternoon, especially for MK. We then plan to get to the park at rope drop, or shortly after, and we get on a few rides with short lines before our fast passes. At MK, we usually head to Adventure land and do POTC and then over to Frontier Land and do BTMRR a couple of times and Splash Mtn if the weather is nice. Then we head over to Haunted Mansion and It's a Small World. By that time, it's usually time for our late morning fast passes.

Have a great trip!! I can't imagine being there for 2 weeks at a time!! The longest I've ever gone is 7 days.

Oops, you're right. Should have given it more thought, I rushed in.
