OMG...Last Minute WDW Trip!!! - PTR March 2016

[kickpuncher305]

Howdy!
My name is Aaron and I'm a Disney-holic.
(Hi Aaron...)
Now with that out of the way, I'M GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!!!

So I have never done a trip to a Disney Park this last minute in my life. My cousin is attending a conference at the Coronado Springs from Wednesday March 2nd to Wednesday March 9th and she invited me down to join her for the last three days of the trip to have some fun at Disneyworld!

With it being so last minute, I was a little worried about everything coming together before I leave on Saturday March 5th but everything is looking good so far. I wanted to outline my tentative plans and see what everybody thought. I have travelled to Disneyland about six time (most recently this March) and WDW twice (most recently December 2014, before Fastpass+ was fully implemented).

Tentative Plans

Sunday March 6th: EPCOT

FP+ Reservations:
Spaceship Earth 12:45-1:45pm
Seas with Nemo & Friends: 2:15-3:15pm
Test Track: 5:35-6:35pm (Earliest Test Track FP+ I Could Get, will try and get an earlier one if possible)

Will try and do TT and Mission: Space first thing in the morning along with other Future World attractions that we don't have FP+ for. Spend most of the afternoon in World Showcase and finish the day with Illuminations.


Monday March 7th: Morning at AK, Afternoon/Evening at Hollywood Studios

No FP+ Reservations at AK
(Planning on using EMH at 8am and leaving park around 12pm; Will prioritize Kilimanjaro Safari, EE with Single Rider, Dinosaur and Finding Nemo: The Musical)

FP+ Reservations at DHS:
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster 1:40-2:40pm
Tower of Terror 2:50-3:50pm
Star Tours 3:50-4:50pm

No availability for Midway Mania this close but will keep checking and if I find one I will replace Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. Will also make sure to do Great Movie Ride, Muppet Vision, Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular and Fantasmic!

Tuesday March 8th: Magic Kingdom

FP+ Reservations:
Space Mountain 12:00-1:00pm
Splash Mountain 1:50-2:50pm
Peter Pan's Flight 3:55-4:55pm (Earliest Peter Pan I Cold Get)

No availability for Seven Dwarves Mine Train but we will probably just rope drop it and maybe do it later at night since I hear its great at night as well!
Will also prioritize Haunted Mansion, PotC, BTMR and pretty much everything at MK (except Stitch's Great Escape...Never Again )

Dining
No concrete plans so far for dining.

For EPCOT, definitely lunch at Sunshine Seasons and not sure about dinner but was thinking somewhere in World Showcase (open to suggestions!)

For AK/DHS, I was thinking lunch at Flame Tree BBQ before heading over to DHS. For dinner at DHS, I was thinking of either Sci-Fi Dine In or 50's Prime Time Cafe.

For MK, would obviously love to do lunch or dinner at Be Our Guest but both meals are all filled up. May try and see if an early lunch (11am) would be possible walk up. Maybe do an early dinner at Skipper's Canteen if possible. If we can't do lunch at BOG, do lunch at Cosmic Ray's or Columbia Harbour House.

So those are my plans for my trip. I am so used to booking trips eight months to a year in advance so this is a whole new world for me. Any tips or suggestions you can offer I would greatly appreciate!

I can't imagine doing such a short notice trip!! But it sounds so fun.

As for the Dining.... Epcot has the Flower and Garden festival booths if you wanted to eat your way around the world showcase. If not I don't think you could go wrong with any of the food places in the World Showcase TS or QS. At DHS I would go with 50s Prime Time.. It is a must do for our family. Can't wait until we go there in 11 days.

We will be arriving on the 8th and going to MK that evening. We probably are only going to stay through the nighttime parade, unless the kids think they can do Wishes.
