Here's my itinerary... do you recommend breaks?

[Dallas_Lady]

I am going with 4 first timers, but only for 5 nights in mid-June. I don't want to overwhelm them moving at a break neck pace, but I want to do as much as possible while there.

Here's our itinerary. Do any of you suggest breaks? If so, how would you work them in? They want to visit all 4 parks and at least one waterpark. I don't particularly like going to one park and staying there all day, but with only 5 nights I can't figure out how to do it otherwise.

(BTW, it's gonna be hard to get them up for park opening, and pretty impossible to get to EMH.)

On Sunday I'd do dinner at Epcot. You'll waste time traveling from Epcot to the Poly for 'Ohana and then back to Epcot. If you want to eat at 'Ohana on this trip go on your first day or on the day you go to AK (since you'll leave there by 5:00 pm).

On Monday (MGM day) you may want to give some thought to doing CS for lunch and a Fantasmic Dinner Package. It could save some time by not having to wait so long for Fantasmic. I don't recall if Sci FI is part of the dinner package.

The issue of breaks may depend on the ages of everyone in your group and how hot it is that week. If you don't have young children I'd say skip the midday break to maximize park time. Adults and older children can handle the longer day. You only have 5 days and won't be doing EMH so a little running around all day won't be too bad.

Good luck and have fun.

I'd switch AK on Wednesday with MK on Thursday. Thursday is MK's EMH and if you're not planning to go early I'd do it another day, also Wednesday is one of MK's least busy days (relatively speaking, of course).

If you're all adults I'd skip the breaks. Just go inside to a cool show to relax if you get tired!

On Sunday I'd do dinner at Epcot. You'll waste time traveling from Epcot to the Poly for 'Ohana and then back to Epcot. If you want to eat at 'Ohana on this trip go on your first day or on the day you go to AK (since you'll leave there by 5:00 pm).

I agree! Plus, there are SO MANY great places to eat at Epcot!
