Need help planning itinerary

[05focus]

Hey everyone! I'm really needing some help from Disney experts. I'm completely stumped on what to do on what days with my itinerary planning. My mom and I are leaving in 19 days. We have some ADR's set up but we aren't really focusing on having a bunch of those. The main places we want to go is MK, Epcot, and shopping at DTD. We don't have much interest in going to AK or DHS, if we have the extra time we would like to do Fantasmic but if we don't it's not a huge deal either. We arrive early Monday August 18th. My mom only lives an hour from WDW so it wont be a far trip. We leave August 22nd and can wait until late to leave as we don't have a far drive. So far I have Tuesday set as an MK day. Wednesday we have lunch around noon at BOG so I'm thinking perhaps 1/2 day at MK and 1/2 day at Epcot or DTD? We really prefer the evening and night time atmosphere at DTD so I'm trying to plan with that in mind as well. But was also thinking when we arrive at our hotel in the morning and wait for our rooms to be ready, since we are staying at POFQ just hopping on the boat to DTD that morning until our room is ready. Sorry for dragging out my simple question, I got a little carried away and started typing the stressing thoughts on my mind Any advice for what to do on the Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday days? Tuesday and Wednesday are the only full days we will be there, the other two are arrival and departure. Just want to know how to be utilize our time there and also being able to visit the three areas we want. Anyone who has helpful tips will be greatly appreciated!

It's this for 2014 I am seeing aug 19th as a Tuesday also what kind of tickets do you have and how many days?

I think taking some time your arrival morning to head to DTD is a good idea. Perhaps have an early lunch at EoS or Cooke's. But I would definitely plan the late afternoon/evening in EP. Have dinner in WS and watch Illuminations.

Since you obviously have hoppers, I'd make time for F! They have two shows each night you're there, so just hop over for the late show one night. Could do it on Mon or Wed. You may even want to do HS after your 1/2 day at MK on Wed if you can do FP+ for any attractions you'd like to do.

Thur morning, I'd hit EP for FW stuff. It'll be your only morning to get there at rope drop.

Sorry about that had a typo! Yes Tuesday is the 19th we arrive Monday August 18th and yes this is for 2014

I actually really like that suggestion! I'm going to try and play around with a few different plan ideas and see which one suits us best but I'm really thinking the way you suggested is a good use of our time. Thanks

If anyone else has different ideas as well please share I need help brainstorming
