Just trying to finalize a few things and was wondering what you all thought of this.

Day 1:
Head for MCO. Meet TTC, stop at grocery store, then onto the Caribbean Beach. Check in, check out the resort, grab a bite at the foodcourt, then head for EPCOT. Wander around Future World, 5pm Candlelight Processional, then dinner afterwards at the Rose & Crown & view Illuminations from there.

Day 2:
Up early (this is normal for me), quick breakfast (NutraGrain bar) in room, then head for MGM for MH. Hit the MH attractions, lunch at Sci-Fi, then head back to resort for rest. Late afternoon, head over to the Magic Kingdom, dinner at Crystal Palace, then grab a seat for Spectro & Wishes. Back to resort, pack (may not even unpack) for move tomorrow & to bed.

Day 3:
Up early, grab a cab to the Wilderness Lodge, check-in, leave luggage and head for the Magic Kingdom for MH. Hit the MH attractions, lunch at Whispering Canyon Cafe.

Can I go with you???

I'll spend every minute, including while on the plane, trying to come up with a plan of action for my post-Thanksgiving trip, and I guarantee you it won't be nearly so detailed. I'm lucky if I can get the vaguest of details! I usually plan what I'm doing each day, where I want to eat... and then get there and find myself going wherever the wind takes me!

Let me ask: Do you find yourself sticking to the plan as a general rule?

I'm using you as inspiration. I'm going to sit down right now and try and come up with my itinerary, and darn it, this time I'm sticking to it. Well, as best I can...

Wow great itinerary, good job!

Okay at the risk of sounding like a dummy, what does MH stand for?

I only have 2 comments. First, when do you rest? This is quite a bit of running around. I assume you've been to Disney many times and know what attractions you want to do. But I got exhausted after just reading this itinerary.

Second, you are going in and out of the parks many times/day. Often, you enter one park in the am, leave for lunch, return to that park, leave for another park, leave for dinner, return for nighttime activities. You'll spend a lot of time going back and forth to the restaurants and parks, cutting down on your time in the parks. Plus, you have a lot of sit down meals. I think I'd need a major diet after eating two sit down meals per day at Disney for 10 days. I'd cut back some of the meals and try to have more meals in the parks, or later at night and not try to return to the park afterwards. Just a thought.

You have a lot of fun things planned. In fact, I like everything you hope to do. I just think it's a little too much. Please let us know how close you stick to this itinerary.

Have fun.

Looks like a great plan! Have fun!!

since it looks a lot like mine seems like perfection (lol) except the petty driving...not for me as there would be a puddle in the car seat

When your moving from Caribbean Beach to Wilderness Lodge why not let Disney move your things for you. You just pack your luggage and have guest services take care of getting it to the lodge.
