I think it looks quite good. Looks like you are leaving things at a slower pace so you have the option to park hop etc.
Are you planning on going early in the morning? these might be some long days without a break.
Your Water park day and non park day will keep things layed back also which I'm sure will be nice with a 4 year old.
Have a great time!!!!
Sounds like you have done some good planning for a first timer!!! This will help you and your family to have a great time!
By the way, are you staying on site?

Good Plan! One suggestion on 9/27; ESPN over Beaches and Cream. Just as a side, B&C is over at the Yacht & Beach Club. Didn't want you looking for it on the
Boardwalk. You can get your icecream fix at Seashore Sweets after dinner at ESPN
on the Boardwalk. Have fun!

We're going to be there the same time, we are 9/26-10/4, and I can't wait!!!!

Your plans look good to me! Enjoy your trip!

We just came back yesterday and we were first timers too. Before we went, I wrote down all the rides and attractions "we had" to see and next to them where they were located i,e., Adventureland, Frontierland, etc. and if these things required a FP or not. Each day I had a little piece of paper in my pocket with the information for that particular park and it worked for us. I thought Beaches and Cream was on the Boardwalk too (it sounds like it would be). Have a great time.

Thanks for the info! I am so excited and I feel I can take a deep breath of relief now that I have a plan. I also have the DW passporter so I plan on toting that around because I have specific "must-do's" marked in the book for each park. This trip was a lot of work. I have 6 weeks until we go, so I just plan on reading the DIS until then for the great tips you guys post!

Very nice itinerary sethsmama! You have put alot of thought and time into your trip! Now, it's time for you to enjoy yourself and not worry about the family's griping, or they'll drive you to...

I hope you guys have a very magical trip for your 1st visit to WDW!!
