Hello! I am planning our January trip to Orlando for the Disney Marathon (DH running the full). We (me, DH and 3 daughters ages 20-25) will be leaving Wednesday, Jan 5th and returning Tuesday, Jan 11th. We are staying at a nearby 3-bdrm condo. Here is my schedule let me know if you think Im planning well.
-Wedn Flight to Orlando (arrive 11:30am), pick up rental car, check in at condo, and receive groceries from Garden Grocer. Head to MK for afternoon/evening til closing.
-Thurs Epcot, with short trip mid-afternoon to race expo to pick up goodie bag.
-Fri One daughter running 5K in the morning. Then off to HS until 4pm-ish. We have a dinner to attend with marathon Team in Training around 6pm.
-Sat Universal Studios IoA (full day)
-Sun DH marathon in morning. Animal Kingdom late morning to close.
-Mon Universal Studios (full day). Nice dinner out.
-Tues HS open to 1pm. Then airport for flight home.
I dont think anyone in our family wants to see everything each day. We plan on experiencing the best rides and shows first, and if time allows and were up to it, well do more.
My thinking in my planning is that MK caters mostly to the little ones we dont have any. One short day should do it.
In regards to HS, Im hoping two shorter days will be enough (there are so many great rides/shows here!).
Our youngest is a HUGE Harry Potter fan, so a good portion of one morning at IoA will be spent there. Well be leaving early on the first night at UA so that DH can get a good night sleep before his 3am alarm for the race on Sunday a.m.
Any comments and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
