Itinerary Setting. What first? What Last?

[zdad]

Trying to start the detailed itinerary for our 6N/7D at WL. Arrive at WL ~ 3PM Sunday 19 June. Any suggestions on how we should prioritize the following (my thoughts in Parens).....

MK (1st stop, after check in, return 1/2 day later in the week)
EPCOT (3rd priority, 3/4 day combined with pool relaxing )
MGM (2nd priority, Full day with dinner at 50's cafe)
AK (4th priority, early day. Stay till we're bored)
Water Parks (Plan at least 1/2 day - Early start; Both parks as time permits)
Disney Quest (Filler, but plan at least 1/2 day when we do go)

Some of my thoughts.
- Take advantage of EMH, especially the late night ones. Use those days to combine a park and Disney Quest or an afternoon at the pool or a water park.
- Bound to be a rain day in late June. Use that for Disney Quest or fn wet day at a park ?
- We have Premium Tix, so we can do both water parks. Amybe 1/2 day at each.

I'm sure you will get a lot of advice over here. I just want to warn you that from what I have read Disney Quest is jammed on rainy days. It's probably better to get there first thing in the morning before it gets crowded on a non-rainy day. Then spend the rest of the day at one of the theme parks or maybe a water park.

are you planning any character or signature meals that may need ps' in advance? if so, you may want to get those ironed out and work around that schedule... also, for shows like fantasmic, we learned in our rainout of 2001 to schedule it for early in the week, so if it is rained out, you've got another shot at seeing it before your trip is over (which we didn't in '01 but finally saw it in '04)...

we're not huge animal kingdom fans, yet we cannot bear to miss it either... therefore we plan a day there w/a highlight that evening (dinner at boma, HDDR, etc)...

be careful not to plan a late night followed by an early morning (made that mistake too! LOL!)

anyway, that's how i start planning my itinerary and then fill in and fiddle around 'til the hours are released and then revise it as needed...

Thanks Gigi........the plan things like Fantasmic early, so time is available to replan if needed is a good idea. Yes, we want to do 2 character meals, one at Chef Mickey's, one at Ohona. Not sure what would be better at either B, L, or D. 90 day mark comes next week so we ps them then. Figured one On Day 2 and one on day 4 or 5.

"The deveil is in the details!!.


Thanks for your help.
