June touring plan help

[marciaje]

We will be visiting WDW starting Thurs, June 3, through the 8th, and was wondering if the expects had any thoughts on my touring plan. Our family is
DD9 (not ready for biggest thrill rides), DD6 (a bit sensory sensitive, loves water play), DH (will go along with anything), and myself (very motion sensitive, so have to skip all the more extreme rides).

- Wed arrive early evening
- Thurs MK (am only for EMH), noon pool break, MGM
- Fri MK (probably include break and Wishes)
- Sat - “relaxing day”, sleep, 10AM Chef Mickey’s, pool, Orlando science museum if feel like it (open thru evening)
- Sun - AK til midafternoon, then Epcot (mostly for flower show, Illuminations, some of WS, will rent stroller this day)
- Mon - BB
- Tue – Epcot (FW and rest of WS)
- Wed – Discovery Cove (date not changeable)
- Thurs – Universal with front of line access (limited attractions) (date not changeable)
- Fri thur Tues – Airboat tour, Tampa attractions, Busch gardens, Clearwater beaches)

This includes
1 1/2 days MK (see all)
1 ½ days Epcot (see most)
½ day at AK
½ day MGM (PM)
1 day BB

AK - only Kilimanjaro, Kali River, some boneyard playtime, and shows we missed last time, being Tarzan and Pocahontas.
MGM only Mermaid, Star Tours, Muppetvision, Beauty & Beast, and Backlot Tour. Fantasmic only if not too tired, (saw it last time, DD6 won’t enjoy)

This is our second trip to DW. We will always try to make park openings, and rather prefer to commando tour the first part of the day. We will be renting a car, staying at Carribean beach till Sun, then offsite, and have a 4-day hopper plus. We don’t have an interest in shopping, and would like to minimize restaurant time.

I know Sunday is Epcot gay days, but I’m thinking it’s OK if it’s crowded since we’re have Tues to do the more popular rides. I thought about switching Fri and Sun Mornings to do more EMHs, but only want to get up that early if needed.

Thanks all, Marcia

Welcome to the Dis Marciaje Your itenerary is well thought out and looks good. One fun thing you can do after Chef Mickeys is to hop the monorail and tour the GF and Poly(if you think the kids would enjoy it).

The 1.5 days at MK to "do it all" is probably too ambitious in June.
Please consider either expanding to two whole days, or lowering expecations to "do a lot"

I like the monorail tour idea. It's also hard for me to guess how long touring will take, I've been going by guidebooks, because the prior time we were there was during the post Sept 11 slow time with no crowds, so I appreciate the input on MK touring time.
