Itinerary Draft - part 1

[FatCow]

Please check and comment on the 1st draft of my December's trip itinerary. Any other dates other than 3, 4, and 11 that will coincide with the historically high park attendance days?

note: I already purchased the MVMCP and La Nouba tickets, so those dates can't be changed (but thing to do before the event can)


2 (Thursday)
arrive around 2pm at MCO, check in at ASMu, go to MVMCP

3 (Friday)
AK in the morning, then to DTD for La Nouba

4 (Saturday)
MK (I know this is crazy, but Spectro can only be seen then)

5 (Sunday)
Epcot (formerly known as EPCOT)

6 (Monday)
MGM (close with Fantasmic!)

7 (Tuesday)
MK in the morning, then MVMCP in the evening, CRT breakfast (please tell me whether I should call on Sept 6 or Sept 7 to book for CRT on this date)

8 (Wednesday)
Epcot

9 (Thursday)
AK

10 (Friday)
MGM (close with Osborne Lights)

11 (Saturday)
MK (again, this is crazy, but gotta see Spectro again)

12 (Sunday)
Complete all check-out procedures, then off to MGM or MK until around 2pm, then go back to ASMu to get to MCO

TIA

Seriously... no comment at all?

 

[4greatboys]

I think it looks pretty good. What are your ps plans??

 

[FatCow]

PS plan is just for CRT on the 7th of Dec.

I don't know, however, whether I should call on Sep 6 or Sep 7 for reservation.

The only other possible restaurant-going time may be to Arkhesus at Epcot. However, if I don't care for character meal, do I still need PS for Arkhesus (for lunch)?

In early December you shouldn't, unless you need to eat at a specific time for some reason.

I'd probably sleep in and pack on my final day instead of trying to get park time, but that's just me!

You might want to make the ps anyway. Last year my sons and I tried to get into Sci Fi (in the beginning of Dec--the slow time) and they were not taking any walk-ins.

That's true for my daughter, but I will start packing some of the luggages since Thursday night anyway and I can't sleep in (always wake up around 6:30 anyway). Also, we won't hit the park until all the check-out procedures are done.

Also, do you know whether I should do the CRT reservation on Sept 6th or Sept 7th (for CRT Dec 7th)?

 

[4greatboys]

According to the ps calculator says for 90 day ressies call on 9/8. But I would call everyday til you got a ressie since there is a chance you might not get the day you want. Good Luck!!

It looks great to me! I think you picked good days for each park too. I would not worry about MK being crowded in early December-even on Saturday.

Not sure about this, but I know last year on that first Saturday in Dec, they were taping the Christmas Parade at MK all day. If that is the case, you would want to get to the park really early. The rides aren't horrible, because so many people are sitting on the parade route to watch the taping.

I hope not, I hope not, I hope not.

You could sub part of your Epcot time for more time at MK if necessary, but in early December, I think you'll be fine. Looks like a good schedule from someone who has done their homework

[/kidding_mode_on] any place I can meet Kryssa? [/kidding_mode_off]

 

[Micca]

She'll be in your room waiting.

 

[FatCow]

I know that that's supposed to be a good thing... but somehow I find that creepy.

Wow! your itinerary looks great! I'm jealous. We will be down the same time but from the 6th to the 12th. I would love to have as many days as you do in the park.

You are gonna have a blast!
