Hello! As the title states, I'm looking for some feedback for my plans. Some background, I'm 19 and this is my first trip; I'm going with my roommates and two friends of one of my roommates whom I've never actually met because we go to different schools. I believe of the others I'm going with, 3 have been to WDW before and one is an international student from who has been to HK Disneyland. That being said, the planning was left up to me because I wanted to do it; I've been planning pretend trips for as long as I can remember. Anyways, here are our plans:
December 14: Drive from WI to Atlanta
December 15: Drive from Atlanta to WDW, check in to ASMusic, check out decorations at deluxe resorts, window shop at DTD.
December 16: HS Day. We plan on arriving by RD. FP+ for Star Tours from 10:50-11:50, TSMM from 11:55-12:55, and Rock n Roller Coaster from 1:10-2:10. We plan on seeing the later Fantasmic. I'd also like to make sure to get to Characterpalooza, but I haven't seen any KtP updates on whether it will be happening in December.
December 17: MK. We plan on arriving as early as 5 20-somethings can muster. I told my friends that I'd leave without them if they were slow, although I'm not totally sure if I'll follow through with that threat, haha. FP+ for BTMRR from 11:35-12:35, Meet Cinderella and Rapunzel from 12:40-1:40, and Space Mountain from 2:15-3:15. I'm thinking we're going to start in Fantasyland, haven't decided whether we should try to get on 7 Dwarves Mine Train right away or what exactly we're going to do. I'm not sure how detailed we should get with planning because I don't want to get too crazy when it comes to holding to a schedule.
December 18: Epcot. Again, we plan on getting there by RD. FP+ for Spaceship Earth from 9:30-10:30, Test Track from 11:05-12:05, and Mission Space from 12:10-1:10. I tried to get these earlier because I think for me, the bigger priority would be the World Showcase. Just looking at it, Future World seems to hold less interest, although I'm not sure if that'll change when I get there.
December 19: Check-out. AK. Get there by RD. FP+ for Kilimanjaro Safaris 1:15-2:15 (although we'll probably ride this earlier as well), Expedition Everest 2:15-3:15, and Dinosaur 3:15-4:15. When we're done here, we'll drive back to WI, so we're not so concerned in staying all day, just seeing what we want to before leaving.
As I said, it's my first time. I don't know what first-timer mistakes or assumptions I might be making and I would really appreciate any advice, specific to these plans or in general.
