June 2014 Touring plans?

[cmbx2mom]

Our trip is coming up and I've been working on our touring plans. We'll be at MK twice and the rest of the parks once. My kids aren't very big into meeting characters (they are 9 and 7 years old), so I'm not really building that into the plans. This is our first trip, so I'm trying to get as much info as possible. I have been to easyWDW which is what I am basing most of my plans on. We'll be there middle of June so I expect fairly crowded. We are planing on rope drop for most days (AK is the only one I"m not sure about as we have breakfast planned at 9:25AM there). Most days we have ADR already in place for a restaurant in the park we're planning to attend. We weren't planning on leaving mid-day as some suggest, as most dinner reservations are on the earlier side (5:30ish). However, I think we'll be leaving most parks earlier in the evening so everyone can get up early for the next day.
Here's my Epcot day planned:

1 Test track
2 sum of all thrills
3 mission to space???
4 The seas with Nemo
5 Turtle talk (FP+)
6 Living with the land
7 Lunch-long walk
8 walk back through countries
9 Journey into imagination
10 Soarin (FP+)
11 Elllens Energy Adventure
12 Malestrom

Garden Grill 5:30 dinner

Does this seem like a decent plan? Am I on the right track here? ANyone else want to share their touring plans??

Why not ride maelstrom while walking through the countries? Where are you thinking of eating lunch?

That is a long walk from Ellen back to Norway. I would hit Malstorm while you are in the countries. I would also hit Mission Space after Test Track. They are close together. You may want to do Living with the land while your in the land pavillion riding Soarin.

Have fun.

Garden Grill is a character dinner so you may want to rethink that and do your FW touring in the morning and your WS touring in the afternoon and for dinner.

1 Test track
2 mission to space???
3 sum of all thrills
4 add spaceship earth FP+ 9-10 (get there a little before 10)
5 The seas with Nemo
6 Turtle talk (FP+) 10-11
7 Living with the land
8 add soarin' fp+ 12-1
7 Lunch-sunshine seasons in the land pavilion
journey into imagination here
8 walk back through countries - include maelstrom here
catch the shows and attractions in the countries
dinner somewhere in WS
depart

i'd skip ellen - it is 45 minutes long and will eat into a lot of potential rides/attractions with smaller lines in the morning. plus it's one of the weakest attractions there.

what day will you be at EPCOT? we'll be there for a GG dinner about that time on June 8th.

We have 2 EPCOT days so it helps spread things out more. Since you have limited time - just 1 day - you might want to consider the suggestions to skip Ellen. We'll probably end up seeing it but only b/c we have 2 days to play with.
