There are a few things I want to change but not sure what to yet. I have put in either shopping or I-drive for when I don't know what to do. There are also a few days with no plans for dinner.

Any ideas?

I'm already so excited it's daft. The first ever holiday I've planned and booked myself is a Disney one!

 

[Pinky166]

Sounds great so far....

Do your children like Dinosaurs? You could try the new T Rex restaurant that
will be opening soon at Downtown Disney or the Rainforest Cafe. Other suggestions for dinner would be Hoop Dee Doo musical revue or Mickeys Backyard BBQ - I haven't done either but am sure they are great for kids.

On the 12th you could play miniature golf in the afternoon or do something like Ripleys believe it or not on I-drive - there is another place like that on I Drive but I can't think of the name at the moment....i'm sure someone will help out.

 

[madmumof2]

Ah, they sound good.

Do you mean Wonderworks? I was planning on spending one day on I-drive with all the shops and attractions, on the Saturday I think, can't remember what I put now.

Think I'll try to T-Rex restaurant where I've said dinner at DD.

Is Mickey's bbq a character bbq?

Thanks!

 

[amystevekai&bump]

Hi!!!

Great plan so far !!! I was also going to suggest minature golf for your free afternoon!!

The only thing I would question is whether it is worth leaving Sea World during the day and then returning?? A lot of SW is sit down shows and you will pretty much be going by a timetable working in all the major ones - so by leaving in the middle of the day you might not fit them all in. Plus (as you are sitting so much), a break may not be needed.

Just a thought - otherwise, great schedule!!

 

[wickesy]

Definitely try Sweet Tomatoes one night for dinner. It's an all you can eat buffet, mainly salads but also a lot of home made soups and pasta. There's one on I Drive.

 

[madmumof2]

Thanks for that tip Amy. I was wondering how full on (or not lol) Seaworld was. I did want to be there at night. Maybe we could have a lie in that day and go abit later in the morning so we can still get everything done but not get too tired.

Will definitely try Sweet Tomatoes, sounds good!

Thank you everyone!

Which just leaves the last full day open.

Maybe go to the kids favourite park? Something different and special? Any ideas?

One thing I would question is on the Universal days is you are planning on take a break back at Pop - that would seem to be a bit much as you are probably looking at least 45 mins travel time each way. You might be better planning to have longer days there and have a rest or light day the day after. We always plan to have longer days the days we are off Disney property as the travel time is that much longer and it is just not convient to 'pop' back to the room.

The other option is to schedule them for different days if you want to visit in the evening e.g. US morning, break, disney park evening then reverse the next day disney morning, break, US evening.

And I would leave your last full day to let the kids redo there favorite attractions - we usually park hop a bit on this day as we tend it hit a couple of rides in different parks

These might not work for you as i am not sure what tickets you are planning on getting as we normally have 14 day Ultimates for Disney and flex for the others.

Blimey! I didn't realise how far UO is from POP. Sounds like a good plan to seperate the days on those.

I've got the 14 day Ultimate and the 3 days UO ticket, with only 2 days planned there, so we can do whatever the kids want on the last day.

BTW, which character dinner is the best one? I'd love to have our last day with lots of magical memories to fill it.

I want to book Cinderellas Royal table at some point. What others would you recommend?

 

[Beth__WDW23/6/02]

Looking good to me.

It's always going to change from now till then and obviously will change once there esp with young children so be warned.
Ours got tweaked once there too,due to the kids deciding enough was enough,and they wanted a day off from the parks.
The good thing with the ultimate tickets is you can go ANYTIME and can even pop there at evening,so you can always work around little tired people.
But other than that I'd say good choices,and your getting everything done,and remember what you dont get done is why you book again.

 

[irongirlof12]

if you can't get cindy's royal table, go to 1900 park fare at GF

 

[Elise79]

We really enjoyed Garden Grill (in the Land at Epcot) it has Mickey, Pluto, Chip and Dale. As it is small you get great character interaction When we went they all came round twice and we saw Mickey 3 times

Food is served family style (all you can eat) so brought to the table which might be easier with two littles ones rather than try to eat at the buffets which most of the Character meals are. We enjoyed the food it was well cooked and hot

 

[madmumof2]

Right, apart from one dinner, and a few breakfasts, I think I've got it!

It's in my blog (in my sig) if anyone is interested.

Can't believe I forgot about MNSSHP as well!!! lol My mind was all on the food lol.

 

[lucy_love_]

i think i may have finished. although im sure ill tweak it right up until we leave

i havent put food on there because the first year we went i made reservations all over and ended up canceling them because it didnt suit us to be so rigid in our eating and we werent impressed with disney dining at all. things were better last year when we ate breakfast at places like the waffle house and ihop, lunch was a snack or ice cream on site and we had dinner between 8-9pm at places like ruby tuesdays, tgis and planet hollywood and each night was at a different venue.

we have never found it necessary to have an afternoon break but if we did want one we would just take it when needed

i am going to add park hours to this also so its the only thing we need to refer to
