A busy looking 3 week plan with no days off but when you take into account that we have repeated park visits so it will be possible to take half days or full days off and lie in's if needed. DW has also expressed an interest in dropping myself and DD at a park one day and doing some retail therapy so there is plenty of scope for that to.

We intend to tackle the parks with a relaxed pace - no commando attack from us so this will help plus the parks close early during September so we will not be having many late nights (MNSSHP will be the latest by a long distance and that will be followed by a long lie-in the next day).

We have also tried to get as many character meals as possible so that our DD can experience as many of the characters as possible as opposed to standing in a queue to see them when they appear around the world. We have 2 attempts to see Fantasmic and we would like to see it both times and we are using the Evening Extra Magic Hours to see full days at Animal Kingdom. Busch Gardens, Seaworld and the Universal Parks all shut at 6pm every day we are there so we can chill out during the evening at Port orleans Riverside.

We are really looking forward to the trip especially as this will be our 1st trip to WDW after the first one was cancelled with 1 week to go due to DW ill's health. Not long to go now.

looks good, the only thing i would change is your first night, we always have great plans to do something and are so tired after the flight and driving from the airport all we do is grab food in the hotel

we fly out on 27th aug so might see you around

 

[Pegasus928]

It does look like you have a full schedule, but as you said it also flexible so shouldn't tire you out too much. And if it does and you have to have a lie in or an early night every now and then then no big deal.
Hope you have a great trip.

It does look like a very full schedule!

However, as you say, you can be flexible, and do as little or as much as you want to do each day. You shouldn't have any queueing issues in September, it's really quiet!! I've always found it rather a relaxing holiday, something you don't hear very often about WDW...

I would also be flexible about your first evening there, I'm usually in bed long before 8pm! Remember that whatever time your flight lands, your body clock will be on 5 hours later... (So if your flight lands at 5pm say, that's 10pm by your body clock...)

Would you Adam & Eve it? We fly the very same days!!

My itinerary is in my PTR found in the link in my sig!

 

[stephensmum]

Looks good - could you get fantasmic package with you H&V adr?

 

[islandmum]

thats a wild schedule!

I'm, sure you'll have a great time, personally I would have built in a few days that arent set in concrete but a possible trip to the parks so that if you need a down day you get one.

The worst thing is being tired and having to tackle another park or reservation just because its in the plans. You've got lots of time, dont feel like you MUST stick to the plans like glue and you'll have a blast.

 

[natalielongstaff]

sounds fab to me

 

[Lizzybear]

Gosh that is packed! I think i'd still want to assign at least a couple of days as free rather than to a park otherwise i'd just be tempted to stay all day but if what you've planned works for you then that's what matters

 

[LeeDolling]

Seems similar to our schedule except we are only there for 2 weeks 6th - 20th September. I am sure you will have a great time and that the schedule will change as you go

 

[fairytale]

Great Schedule !!!

We are due to arrive this coming October for just over three weeks and our itinery is exactly the same chocker block, but that is just how we like it

Tried the laying by the pool once during our first trip to WDW and was just itching to get back to the parks. I remember lying there thinking, "I could be on this ride now, I could be on that ride now...."

Each to their own though, thats why its the most perfect place in the world as it caters for everyones desires
