Your tusker house ADR is going to put you at a huge disadvantage for FOP. You would be much better off cancelling it, showing up an hour before the park opens and heading straight to FOP.

 

[Spunky946]

The first thing that jumps out is that’s a lot of park time at animal kingdom and Hollywood. I’d probably swap one out for another day at mk and or Epcot,

What about just adding park hopper? I’m liking my mornings but the afternoons yeah could drag

Really? Park opens at 9. I’m guessing they are letting people in earlythen?

 

[clarkinstlouis]

Maybe change Wednesday to MK if we could score a slinky dog on Saturday.

 

[Spunky946]

We always get the hopper and love it. You could definitely do that.

 

[Spunky946]

Well being at Tusker House is nowhere near pandora and you probably won’t get out until after 9 and you’d be behind the rope drop crowd. By the time you’d get there the wait times would be up.

 

[JessicaW1234]

On your MK day, is it a 9:00am opening? If so, you could use your PPO breakfast to line up for 7DMT right before 9:00 am (at the fence of 7DMT)
And change your 7DMT FP to something else
If 8:00 am opening, disregard the above!

 

[Alesia]

Yes, they're letting people in early. By the time you get there after breakfast, the wait will be well over an hour.

 

[Tksolomom]

I think all your plans look good except for Tusker House. As a previous poster said, it puts you at a disadvantage for FOP. AK is my favorite park so I have no problems spending 2 days there. Your FP for Epcot are not really needed but I am guessing you are using them to get another Tier 1. I would do Spaceship Earth or Living with the Land instead though.

 

[kwdw]

Sunday at EPCOT - no way I would start on one side of FW - then walk to the opposite of FW - and then walk BACK to the other side. I'd cancel your FP for Turtle Talk with Crush in the morning - and pick a different FP for the day some time. I like Garden Grill, Soarin, Pixar, then TT - that works. But then I would start around the WS - walking back to hit Turtle Talk with Crush seems like wasted steps. OR - move TT to end of day - and hit all of that one side of FW in the morning (Nemo, Living with the Land, Turtle Talk, etc).

And yep - the Tusker House/FoP plan will not work as others have said previously.

I'm surprised by two full days at AK and HS - but only one day at MK. That's okay if you are frequent visitor who knows you won't see everything at MK in one day - but just realize you won't.

Lunch at EPCOT on a F&W weekend day will be BUSY. Be prepared to wait in line at a food booth. Or - schedule a TS instead.

 

[nkereina]

I agree that it would be difficult to do FOP after Tusker House, but seeing as how you have a FOP FP later in the trip, I would still keep Tusker House and just go elsewhere after breakfast. Instead of rushing through breakfast, take your time and then leisurely make your way somewhere else like the Safari, for example.

I see you have no time scheduled for Disney Springs. I agree with PP that 2 days at DHS and AK is a lot for those parks, so I would take at least one of those evenings for Disney Springs. Even if shopping isn't your thing, they have a ton of unique stores you can only find there so its a great time to buy all your souvenirs. And there are some really great dining options as well.

 

[KittyKitty]

Sept 8. Arrival day. Don't know if you are interested, but there is a light show, Star Wars Galactic Spectacular at 9pm. Good it is.

Also I love the Pixar shorts. I usually get a FP for that. If you can, flip Test Track and Crush . Less walking.

 

[DisneyGirlMI]

The first thing that jumps out is that’s a lot of park time at animal kingdom and Hollywood. I’d probably swap one out for another day at mk and or Epcot,

I agree. We are rarely at either HS or AK past 1 or 2. There’s no way to get everything in at MK in one day.

 

[matheke]

I think your plan of attack is perfect for you and your family. Since the "New Stuff" is in the AK and HS i can see why you are spending your time there. Relax and don't try to do a lot of last minute shuffling (It never works out when I do it).

Go, have fun, don't stress from over planning.

 

[SCSA9898]

Tower of Terror was incredible, such a great ride.
We had basically the same FP+, We went on Slinky Dog Dash as soon as it started to lightly shower, we got on, as soon as we got out from the cover of the loading platform, it was an absolute downpour, soaking us from head to toe while on the ride, it heightened the experience while on the ride but it wasn't so fun immediately after.

Glad you had a great time. Welcome to the boards!

We did! Thanks!

 

[vinotinto]

I think your plans look really good. Well done! You have FoP on your last day, so if you want to enjoy Tusker House that will work. But if you want to try for Pandora, you won't have time to do the 8 am Tusker. You could move it to a late breakfast.
