Looking for Thoughts/Advice on Tentative Schedule

[matt1979]

Will be travelling with my wife a 3 sons (11, 8, 5). We're booked for 4 nights (February 6-10) at POR...Regular dining, 5 day resort tickets (no park hoppers). Our trip is book ended with a visit to my brother-in-laws place in Tampa...so we'll be driving over Monday AM...and heading back there Friday evening. This is what I was thinking for a general schedule

Monday - AK
- QS Lunch
- Plan to leave prior to park closing (~4pm)
- TS meal at POR
- pool time weather permitting

Tuesday - MK
- TS lunch
- break to POR ~2pm-6pm for pool time and QS dinner
- return ~6pm
- Wishes

Wednesday - HS
- QS lunch
- TS dinner (already booked Fantasmic package for 4:15pm @H&V)
- 7pm Fantasmic

Thursday - MK
- QS lunch
- leave ~4-5pm
- evening TS meal & souvenir shopping at DS

Friday - Epcot
- QS lunch & dinner (out of pocket)
- depart ~8pm

Planned for Tuesday/Thursday to be interchangeable...should weather look lousy for Wishes on Tuesday evening we can swap plans those days.

Will do our best to be at RD each day. Our last visit was 3-years ago, and had a pretty good routine of hitting up 1 or 2 attractions right after rope drop, then utilizing FP's for the 10:30am-3pm period. Want to stick to that general routine...but last time we had grandparents to help out...we won't have them this time around so we'll have to be creative about utilizing FP's differently for our 5yo vs the older boys since our younger one won't be able to do everything the older ones will want.

Anyway...just looking to see if anyone has any thoughts, advice, recommendations or if that seems like a reasonable way to break things down for the week.

Looks good, the only thing I would consider is moving the shopping night to Mon. After AK. That would give you more time at MK on Thurs. When my kids were your kids age, it was the favorite park.We would need more MK time, especially since you are taking the big break on Tues.

Thanks...I had the thought of doing DS Monday instead, but also figured we may want to just settle into our room and get some pool time in, since our schedule doesn't allow for much of that as is. Will have to see if my wife feels strongly one way or another.
