Our Plan so far......what do you think?

[jacs1234]

Do you think this will work? Any advise on changes we should make

It's going to be so full on. These are the things we have to book in advance. I still want to do fantasmic priority seating but dh is willing to sit and wait (I hope it's even on then)

Arrive November 13th
Friday 13th - nothing booked but we'll spend ALL day and night at DL
Sat - Plaza Inn for Breakfast 10am
Sun - Cafe Orleans for Dinner 5pm
Mon - Blue Bayou for dinner 4:30
Tue - Goofy's Breakfast 8:30am
Wed - Rainforest Cafe for lunch
Thur - Lego land
Fri - Bibbidy bobbidy boutique at 10am and Ariels Grotto at 12:30 for lunch
Sat - nothing yet
Sun - Free day at Disneyland
Mon - Goofy's at 8:30am cause Disney will probably open at 10 and we leave at midnight

We have all this stuff planned and we want to fit in more more more and I just don't know if it's possible.

I noticed that you are going to GK for breakfast twice. Have you thought about having dinner there for one of the meals instead? I heard that they tend to have more characters for dinner. Just a suggestion...everything else looks great though!

Or instead of one of the Goofy's Kitchen breakfast, try the Lilo and Stitch breakfast at the Paradise Pier. We've had a very good time with the characters there.

I also thought that you could try Storyteller's Breakfast at the GCH or Lilo & Stitch Breakfast at PPH instead of going to GK's 2x that way you can meet different characters.

You are there for quite a while so you're going to be able to fit in everything you want to do & then do it all over again... & again .

So, I'd recommend eating at the Plaza Inn for a meal. Sometimes I like to watch the fireworks while eating some fried chicken from there, even though the view is partially blocked. You'll probably be able to see it a few times so it's a nice place to go when you want to watch sitting down & not have to stake out a spot.

Also, I hear the pasta at the Pizza Port is tasty & they can adjust it for special needs. Oh & don't forget to meet Oscar if you get the chance at Carnation, he's such a cutie.

I'm so excited that you're going to be there for so long.

Have fun!

WOW!!! A week and a half at DL?! LUCKY!!! You'll have pleeeeeeeenty of time to do everything you want! We went three days last time and still rode every single ride at least once, and favorites 2-3 times.

I agree w/ the others about trying a different character meal so you can see different characters. Also, it might be a lot of walking back and forth to do the BBB and AG meal on the same day. BBB is in the park in the very center, and isnt AG at one of the hotels? So it'd be back and forth, back and forth. Plus, from what I saw last time we went, those hairstyles last 2-3 days. I saw the same few little girls during our trip and their hair stilled look great on the final day! I might try to get them done earlier on in the trip so the girls can really enjoy them and show them off at the park. I would also plan on going to the Princess Fantasy Fair after they get their hair done so they can have pictures taken with the princesses with their hair all cute! (thats a good time for the guys/boys to go to the Jedi Training!)

DH and DS(8) just went to Legoland and they only stayed like, 4 hours and walked around the park twice, rode everything twice. So it definitely doesnt take a whole day to do that park. Even going to the Lego Aquarium wouldnt make it an all day affair, in fact, I think they close at 5pm in Nov. since its an off month. You may want to double check that. Do you have plans to go to the beach? It'll be cold, but still fun to see the shore and find seashells, etc. And then maybe you could find a good fish 'n' chips place for dinner.

With the Rainforest Cafe, I'd probably do that on a day you arent visiting the park, b/c again, its a lot of back and forth walking. Maybe spend the morning strolling the shops in DTD, get lunch, then go to the park for the evening.

If you wanted, you could also take a day trip to LA, Hollywood, or San Diego.

Ariel's is at DCA.

I think it will take about fifteen minutes (maybe twenty if you have crowds to work through) to walk from BBB to AG. This seems to be a pretty popular combination of events. I know it's what we're planning for DD's BD in December! I like that my newly made princesses (younger DD will also be getting "princessed up") will get definite princess interaction without the wait you would have at PFF. You'll basically be walking from the castle, down Main Street, across the Esplanade and into DCA. Ariel's Grotto is a pretty straight shot down Sunshine Plaza and around the backside of GRR.

I think we'll plan enough extra time between BBB and AG that we can maybe make a stop at Soarin' on our way (my oldest DD's favorite ride). I hadn't realized previously that you could have one person from your party park hop over to DCA to pick up fastpasses as long as you had all checked in for the day at DL. Thanks to HydroGuy's invaluable tips, however, I now know that I can send DH over to grab fastpasses for Soarin' while the girls and I head to BBB and he can catch up with us there.

Thanks for all your great advice , we wanted to do GK twice because we had such a great time last year

It seems that Plaza inn gets a few more character visits than GK so we are really looking forward to that but I think we will also try PPH grill for their " kitchen sink " desert.

Somehow, we would like to fit in Joes crabshack , Mimi's , Bubba gump's , in-n-out burgers and my husband would like to try a BBQ place as well .

Better bring " ye 'ol stomach pump " I think

Last year we went to a lot of diffrent parks but felt they were all missing that special Disney magic , so we are spending the bulk of our time there
