How to plan??!!

[annie1995]

I am hoping someone can help me. Just when I thought I had everything pretty well thought up, I forgot about EMH's. How do you plan for a 7 day park hopper ticket ( we are staying on site 9 nights though), how do you plan ADR's, EMH am's and pm's, figuring out when at what point of the 9 days you need a day off, deciding what park day is best to miss etc....... my list goes on and on HELP!!!

I'm kinda a newbie but what I've been doing is reading up on WDW (books from the library and websites) and will subscribe to TourGuideMike.com for more up to date assistance.

I'm checking on which days of the week during the time we will be in WDW is best to visit each park (example: If MK is least busy on say Tuesday that's when I plan to visit at least one day and maybe to to EPCOT in the afternoon and have dinner there.) I'll be making ressie's for most of my TS meals so I'm not left with not being able to dine where I really want to at the time I want to. Keep in mind that you might want to be a bit more flexible.

I don't have a set date yet only because my DH just started a new job a couple of months ago and will not be able to request vacation till his 90 days is passed. But when I do get a firm date I'll definitely subscribe to TGM and maybe even buy the Passporter.

we have stayed 9 nights for the past 5 years in a row in early September. We typically have taken advantage of the early entry hours rather than the extra magic at the end of the day. Early morning, you can get on the bigger rides at least 2 or three times in a row without having to wait long at all. Coming back at night, the lines are EXTRA long and really not worth waiting for. Not to mention being wiped out by the end of the day anyway. We are currently trying to work on our dining plan, but, of course DD's do not agree. I am figuring an early dinner would probably be best as most people seem to be making dinner reservations later in the evening.

I try to do one "hard day" then a calm day ie:

maic kingdom then animal kingdom then Epcot then water park and so on

Also, consider getting MYW tickets to cover the whole 9 days. The cost of the extra 2 days is only a dollar or two. It keeps all your options open.
