Help with park planning please!

Hey everyone!

Hubby and I will be taking our Disneymoon in october. He has never been and I haven't been since 2009. We get in on monday the 13th, our flight arrives around 1:40 pm. We leave Saturday. We have park hoppers on our tickets. I just feel lkke a disney novice and don't know where to start. We want to go to the Mickeys not so scary halloween party, to the food and wine festival, and as much as possible. Any help or insight would be appreciated!!!

Is there a party the night you arrive? I've done a party on an arrival day and it wasn't bad. We took a nap, had an early dinner at CRT and then went and got in line for our first characters.

Also, since it's your honeymoon, maybe try something like Dining with an Imagineer if there's availability. DH really enjoyed it.

1.If you are staying onsite then I would suggest looking at the extra magic hours for the days you will be there and planning around them. There is a calendar on the Disney World website for them and easywdw also gives a calendar with a breakdown for each day.
2.You will be able to enter the party with your ticket as early as 4pm the day you choose to do the party.
3.Give yourself plenty of time to experience the Food and Wine Festival. If you are on the dining plan then you can use your snack credits for some of the items during the festival.

Hope that helped a little!

- Schedule your dining reservations 180 days out or asap
- Book fastpass reservations for afternoons
- Get to the parks when or before they're open to have some time without long lines
- Take some time each day to read these boards for ideas and planning tips
- Don't over plan
- Don't try to do it all
- Don't stress out, just go and have fun

That's actually a really good idea! We get in around 1:47. So we can make a dinner reservation, and go to the party from there! Thank you soooo much!
