MGM (arriving around noon):e
-first thing....get fastpasses to RnRC, then go to ToT and get it over with!
-see what time beauty & the beast starts and coordinate that with our RnRC FP time.
-head over to star tours & indiana jones show.
Look for the Backstage Restaurant its a Counter service - best cs at MGM - not always open tho - and it gets too crowded right after Indiana Jones lets out - they have beer!
-keep in mind that the parade is at 3:00.
-muppet vision 3-D.
-the great movie ride.
-journey into narnia.
-walt disney one mans dream.
-voyage of the little mermaid.
-sci-fi for dinner @ 6:30.
-fantasmic!
-MK has extra magic hours that night (til midnight). we're planning on walking to the boardwalk from MGM (to avoid the masses at the bus stops) and then taking a bus from there to MK. i'm not going to plan these couple of hours at MK - just go with the flow.
(already commented...
epcot:
-first thing......get fastpasses to soarin.
if you get there first thing ride standby THEN get FP
-make a beeline across the SE area to get to mission space (i want to do this first thing in the morning so i have plenty of time to recover before lunch in case it makes me queasy!)
MS doesnt have lines really
-test track
-innoventions (where we will be sampling that wonderful italian sode and i will purchase my passport book!)
-use Soarin FP somewhere along here (hopefully)
-the sea with nemo & friends
dont let the line scare you, its a small theatre so the line gets backed up quickly its a cute show, but dont feel bad if you have to miss it!!
-le cellier for lunch @ 1:00
-drink our way around WS!
do try the Italian Champagne, never can remember the name - its red!!
DTD:
-catch the bus to DTD marketplace to eat and shop!
-wolfgang puck express for dinner.
-places i definitely want to hit:
lego imagination center, world of disney (i will be in this store forever!!!!!!) & goofys candy company (to buy some treats for later)
-ghirardelli for dessert!
no comment peep -
-head to PI.
-places we'll probably go: adventurers club, mannequins, motion
-we may go over to the west side and check out disney quest before PI if we have time....we'll see.
we did DQ when they had one in chicago, the boys loved it!
AK:
-first thing....get fastpasses for EE! not sure where we're going to work in the FP, but we'll make it happen! (hopefully more than once!)
so if you are there first thing, do standby, then get the FP
-africa - kilamanjaro safaris (must do early to see animals!)
-africa - pangani forest exploration
we really luv the trails, lots of people skip them
-wildlife express train to rafikis planet watch
skip this instead!
-planet watch - affection sectio, conservation station, etc.
and we do love the behind the scene stuff, but really there isnt much here - eats up a lot of time for just a few interesting things - but it at the bottom of the list for "if there's time we'll do"
-catch train back
-eat late lunch (our dinner ADRs aren't until 8:10!) at pizzafari or flame tree BBQ
keep in mind flame tree no a/c Tuskar house by the safari is, and its got fabulous food!
-asia - kali river rapids
ponchos or soaked!
-parade is at 4:00 - maybe see this sitting in front of flights of wonder (which we will NOT be seeing because i have an irrational fee of birds!)
but its so good, if you sit at the left side up towards the top, you'll enjoy the humor and the conservation aspect - the bird flies from the other side - its an owl! and funny but the "bit" is the tour guide is afraid of birds and they teach the tour guide why birds are so valuable...
-asia - EE (again?)
absolutely
-dinoland - dinosaur
another thumbs up but where is the Lion King show? Nemo show is a hard one to catch - but do try and fit in Lion King...
-if we have time, go by AKL
skip go take a nap and be ready for MK rope drop!!
MK:
-rope drop is at 8:30!!! this is the only rope drop i'm planning on seeing. we like to sleep in!
and its hard to get up for, but I just soak up the magic and atmosphere of this opening!!
-first thing.....get fastpasses to space mountain (and maybe even ride it right then if there's no line!) space mountain is one of my favorite coasters...although i've never ridden EE or RnRC, so we'll see what i think after this trip!
Space Mountain is a fav, but maybe you should head to Splash then Big Thunder Mt, then make your way over to Space - the lines are nominal these days! due to rnrc and ee!
-head to toontown for characters (get there early)
-get FP to peter pan's flight while in toontown/fantasyland area
-go back to Tommorrowland for space mountain (again?); buzz lightyear; astro orbiter
never mind here's Buzz!! have you been to the website for hints???
-head towards fantasyland for mad tea party; snow whites scary adventures; dumbo (yes, I'm 30 years old with no kids and i AM riding dumbo!); its a small world (i'm sorry....but i cannot not ride this ride! too many memories of my little sister and brother singing it!); peter pan (using the FP i hopefully got earlier); mickeys philharmagic
This may be a long line, but keep in mind the theatre is larger than the Muppet theatre in MGM and can handle crowds... just a lot of waiting... Where is buzz lightyear?
-lunch @ caseys on main street
-head towards adventureland for swiss family treehouse; jungle cruise; pirates of the caribbean; enchanted tiki room (i can do this because they're fake birds! plus DH has mentioned it a couple of times so we have to do it. i can't disappoint him! besides, it's a good spot for a nap!
); magic carpets of aladdin
-frontierland for splash mountain; BTMRR
I think if you do sm and btmrr earlier you'll get the adventureland done before 3 otherwise, not so sure!
-parade is at 3:00 try to get a seat in frontierland its less crowded!
-liberty square for hall of presidents (for DH!); haunted mansion
-dinner at kona café at the poly @ 5:30
-back to MK for rest of night to do whatever!
-get wishes viewing spot under tinks wire
Very ambitious!! I cant wait for Sept!!
