June/July itinerary - Thoughts Appreciated!

[DisneyLovingMama]

Here's my current itinerary for our upcoming trip. Any thoughts are appreciated!!

CM: DH, Me, DD5, DS 7 mos. We have a 3-day park pass with the plus upgrade.

Tuesday, June 28 - Arrive at MCO, rent car to do grocery shopping then head to VWL. Check in, spend afternoon at pool and getting used to accomodations. Have no plans for dinner.

Wednesday, June 29 (aka my B-day) - Chef Mickey for breakfast @ 8:00, then Typhoon Lagoon. Have PS for Teppenyaki for 5:50 and want to watch Illuminations, if everyone is still holding up.

Thursday, June 30 - Magic Kingdom Day. Have 5:45 reservations at Whispering Canyon. Plan to head back to MK for Spectro.

Friday, July 1 - Not sure here. May switch MK day because of EMH, but not sure it's worth it. If not, then we have nothing to do this day. Lots of pool time. Probably go to Ft. Wilderness to do a bit of stuff and Downtown Disney. Have reservations for Hoop-Dee-Doo review for dinner.

Saturday, July 2 - Animal Kingdom, then DisneyQuest at Night.

Sunday, July 3 - Pack up, check out and head to the Wonder.

What do you think? I almost wish I had bought the 4-day passes, but DH really doesn't like the parks and wanted some serious downtime. I get scared, though, having nothing to do on Friday.

Thanks!

No epcot? how about making them hopper tickets so you can go to more than one park per day?

also, if your concerned about not doing anything on friday, maybe you can do DQ and DTD that day or visit the boardwalk

I was just going to do World Showcase after dinner, but DD would like Journey to Imagination and Living Seas. Maybe I'll do Epcot on Wednesday and switch Typhoon Lagoon to Friday. Do you think the crowds will be that much worse at TL on Friday than Wednesday?

oops, i meant mgm sorry.

i'm a big fan of spaceship earth in FW. its a must do for us and the long cool ride will be nice in the heat of the day.

i'm clueless about the crowds.

Our last time at Disney, we had a HORRIBLE MGM experience. So, in order to compromise with DH on going this time (he was ready to boycott WDW altogether), I had to promise no MGM. So, no, no MGM this time around.

But you gotta do the new Stunt show at MGM, maybe thats the way to get your dh back. You could also upgrade your tkt at the front desk at check in to a 4day pass. It might be worth it so you don't feel like your rushing. I am not one to talk , my last Disney weekend we did 3 firework shows in one night (my friends are never coming back with me again).

Hey DisneylovinMama, that's my birthday, too! I'm hoping to be in Epcot that day, sampling wine and snacks in WS!
