our plan so far ...

[Corrineee]

We have now booked our flights and hotel, now I'm trying to work out our plan, we are a family of 4 (kids 7&8) this what I've come up with so far ...

Fri 5th Dec 14 arrive 6pm
Sat 6th, lazy day, 1hr airboat ride. Marvel Universe Live 7pm
Sun 7th, Kennedy Space Centre
Mon 8th, 1 day park hopper: Animal Kingdom until 4.30/Rainforest Cafe/Then Epcot evening.
Tuesday 9th Dec, Shopping then MVMCP from 4pm
Weds 10th, lazy morning travel to Clearwater PM (Clearwater Hotel 2 nights)
Thursday 11th Busch Gardens
Fri 12th Clearwater Marine Aquarium and boat tour, 6pm flight from Tampa.

We have done Disney Paris 3 times, so no need for meet and greets this time round ! Universal .. the kids aren't tall enough for most of the big rides and they are not into HP ! So we scrapped that idea. Am I missing anything ?
Thank you

ps anyone know where we can buy the 1 day disney hoppers in advance (UK) so we can pre book fast passes ?

I think that sounds like a wonderful vacation! It has a little bit of everything and sounds like you have plenty of time to relax as well!

The only thing I might change is taking a little more time from AK (though I do love AK) and giving it to Epcot, since you have only one day to split between the two. That's just me though. I could fill the time at AK easily enough but I think I would want more Epcot time.

All in all, it looks great! I hope you have a magical holiday!

Thank you ! Maybe we will be better off with a 2 day pass instead of a 1 day hopper Thank you !

I don't like the idea of taking time from anything else you have planned. I would stick with the one day hopper and just carefully select your attractions. If there really is enough that you want to see and do at AK to keep you there until 4:30 then don't change anything.

You should do what is unique to you. I have never been to DL Paris and am not sure what they have, so your attraction list wouldn't be the same as mine.

Just prioritize. List what is important at AK and what is important at Epcot. Maybe your current plans are perfect FOR YOU.
