October Itinerary --- Feedback Please!!!

[3Aumillers]

Me (31), DH (28), DD (almost 4) and MIL (50) will be checking in to POP Century on 10/1 around 6:00 p.m. We plan to check-in, relax and swim that nite. Here is the rough itinerary I have for us for the next 6 days. Please critique.

Sunday -- AK -- Bkfst w/ Donald; Lunch at Flame Tree; Dinner will be a snack as I'm sure we will be stuffed from Bkfst and Lunch.

Monday -- MGM -- Bkfst at hotel; Lunch at Sci Fi; Dinner at hotel (probably just snack)

Tuesday -- MK -- Bkfst at CRT; Lunch ??; Dinner at CP prior to Spectro Magic & Wishes (hopefully the schedule follows last years)

Wednesday -- Epcot -- Princess Storybook Bkfst; Lunch ??; Dinner @ Beaches & Cream

Thursday -- MK (EMH) go and catch what we didn't see & do on Tuesday; shop at Downtown Disney that evening; Meals ???

Friday -- Return to MGM to catch what we missed on Monday; Le Cellier @ Epcot for Dinner; catch Illuminations (is it unrealistic to think we can get a good spot w/out waiting for hours on Friday of a holiday weekend)

Saturday -- Chef Mickey's for Bkfst before departing

Please provide feedback .. my family has left me to make the plans so they aren't being of much help.

Did they change the EMH hours for October? As far as I know, there are no EMH hours on Thursdays at MK.

I am also in the planning mode for our trips so I have a few tips and ideas.
For the breakfasts in the morning, try a later time so you can have a big meal for breakfast and lunch. Try a 11am at CRT or Princess Storybook and skip the lunch and go for a snack later in the afternoon. At the Princess one, we had a later time and we got more one on one time with the princesses as we were the last ones in the place. Remember now they have princesses at lunch too!
Sunday - sounds great! Just eat a later lunch time.
Monday - good! Tip - Sci fi is dark inside but fun!
Tuesday - See above for tip of brunch. Love CP!
Wednesday - See same tip for Princess Storybook Breakfast and walk to Beaches and Cream and enjoy the Boardwalk.
Thursday - Try eating at Main Street Bakery for quick breakfast or Columbia Harbour House for lunch. Meal at Downtown Disney, I would recommend Fulton Crab House. Very good meal and a favorite of ours.
Friday and Saturday - Perfect! We end with a character breakfast before heading home too!
Hope this helps. I think you did a great job!

Hi, 3Aumillers! We will be at Pop the same days you will! It looks like your family will be seeing us (me, DH, and DD7) at several parks and restaurants- we have some overlapping plans!

I only have a few questions-
1) Thursday- unless the EMH schedule is different from the norm, the only EMH will be at Epcot in the PM.
2) Are you planning on MNSSHP? It is on the 2nd, 6th, and 7th. We aren't, but it is fun.
3) Do you have tickets with the Hopping option? You could do some evenings at Epcot.

Our plans are the following:
Sat- Arrive via car at Pop at 1 PM- head to Epcot for dinner at Marrakesh and Illuminations.
Sun- AK in the AM, lunch at Tusker House. Epcot in the PM, dinner at Biergarten.
Mon- MGM in the AM, lunch at Catalina Eddie's, MK in the PM, dinner at LTT.
Tues- MK in the AM, lunch at Pinocchio Village Haus. Epcot in the PM, dinner at Teppenyaki.
Wed- DD will do the Pirate Cruise in the AM. Brunch for Mom and Dad at the resort while waiting for her. MK in the PM (EMH), dinner at Tony's
Thur- AK in the AM, lunch at Flame Tree. MK in afternoon til 6. dinner at 'Ohana and maybe DTD or BW for evening.
Fri- Typhoon Lagoon in the AM, lunch at TL. MGM in the PM, dinner at Sci Fi, then Fantasmic.
Sat- Breakfast at Chef Mickeys, then drive home.

As you can see, we are into park hopping, and we like to go late into the evening. We are avoiding EMH for the most part. We do have midday breaks planned for almost every day- we will swim at Pop then.

Have a great trip- maybe we'll see you there! We will have our window decorated for Halloween, and I will have my lime green DIS T on!
