Looks good, you should have long lines for Buzz and Star Tours in Sept. Is there any reason you are doing MK in the morning and HS in the evening and then switching the next day?

I was late in getting my adr's cause we didn't decide to go to disney until july so 9:45 am on Tuesday was the only CP I could find. And Tuesday is MNSSHP .. so I don't want to get cut short.. than as well my kid goes to bed at 8 so we always miss Wishes.. but for some reason they have Wishes at 8 on wednesday.. so it kind of just worked out like that. I worked my schedule around the ADR and the Wishes and Fantasmic.

Is there anything on it to you that sounds unrealistic any big ride choices I should change or anything?

Also I tried to work in the food places around where I would be at the time, but I usually don't plan out CS meals and I just go with the flow but I wanted to at least have an idea? I don't want any TS but any good CS recommendations would be great

Thanks for responding by the way

Oops...my mistake...my 1st line should have read NOT long lines in Sept! That's a big oops!

Your plans make sense with your ADRs. I never plan CS either. Plus with kids you never know when they will want a full meal or just a snack. We end up eating at the resort a lot.

My DS is terrified of HM and bored by Hall of Presidents. Also Stitch, terrified of Stitch! I would suggest your first night hitting up Tomorrowland, Buzz and Monster's Inc Laugh Factory. Might be a little more exciting than Country Bears and HoP. Also, Goofy's Coaster and Dumbo (with the new playground) would be perfect for a 4yr old.

My DS is so excited for HM and though he's been on it before (with poor results) I want him to try that before tower of terror so I want to make sure we get it in that day. And the others I wanted boring since we will be up since 2:30 am (Ugh!) and my kid won't nap or go back to sleep once I wake him up so by than hell be so cranky I thought I'd do little stuff to get off the list. But maybe exciting is what he would need instead of being cranky that might be a good idea! Thank you!

And I'm still unsure about dumbo. We have two amusement parks where we live and there are just so many like dumbo that it might be too boring for him and a waste of time but I figured I'd let him decide when he sees it. And definitely barnstormer. Man do I miss toon town fair
