Just Booked for July, A couple of questions

[DisneyDad in PA]

Just booked for July 21 (Th) and leaving July 25 (Mon). Me, wife, son 14, daughter 12. Staying at Hard Rock Hotel, 4 day Park-to-Park tix.

We want to see Blue Man Group, I was thinking of the 6:00 show on Friday. Is there anything I should be avoiding? Should I schedule on a different night?

My plan is to hit one of the parks on Thursday afternoon (3:00pm) until close. Then on Friday, Saturday and Sunday arrive early and take some time off during the middle of the day and then return to a park later in the day early evening.

Is there a preferred park to visit on a certain day of the week or should I not worry about it since I will have 3 1/2 days to explore both parks?

Should we make a preferred seating reservation at Margaritaville (Friday?) and Pat O'Briens (Saturday?)?

i did blue man group on a saturday night in order to avoid the crowd late saturday at the parks.

make a ressie for the saturday night city walk dinner if you plan to eat between 6:30 - 8:00.


do the same for M. for the friday night if it will be during the basic dinner hour time period.

or, make the BMG the second show of the evening and eat prior.



you will have the perk of using the express lines.
don't worry about long waits in lines for the rides and shows.



do the early entry for parry hotter each morning.
you will avoid big crowds then.

I remember you from the Beach Club thread last year- we are staying at the Portofino Bay the week before you go.

We'll keep a butterbeer cool for you!

As for this question, you'll have 3.5 days and onsite: nope, don't worry about it. Hit the parks however you want, but do take advantage of EE whenever you can as macraven said.

Yep, I remember. We loved the Beach Club. We love Disney and are looking forward to trying Universal. Can't wait to try Butterbeer.

I've had that tag for some time. I got it from the tag fairy.

I'm sure I will have more questions soon. I keep reading threads which is a big help. But I'm sure I will come up with something.

Thanks!!

I figured as much by what I have been reading on the boards. But just wanted some confirmation from some of the experts. Thanks!!
