Park Strategy- Help

[forever 35]

We are now in the final count down. Yippee, all my ADR's are made and now I am worried about how to fit everything in. I have looked at a lot of Itineries in all the travel books and they just confuse me. I am not sure if I will feel to rushed. Hoping to hit the high lights and they take it all in slowly afterwards. Please give advice to following plan:

Monday- arrive, visit MK hopefully be there around noonish, no ADR's scheduled looking for a good CS!
Tuesday - maybe MK in am. Epcott in pm, ADR Coral Reef Dinner
Wed- Epcott Princess breakfast, LeCellier dinner
Thur- MGM Sci-Fi lunch
Friday- AK Donald Breakfastaurus, Ohana dinner
Sat- MK till 2ish, fly home evening

I appreciate you looking. thanks!!

Hi forever35...to me it does seem like you trip will be a hectic schedule. I tried to do an itinerary like this for my wife with no days hanging out by the hotel pool and everything was a blurr. I generally take advantage of the EMH there is often a morning hour at one theme park and evening hours at another. Monday through thursdays you will be able to go on a lot of rides because everyone is typically at work; Holidays and summer breaks are the exceptions. Take advantage of the short lines and less crowds. If you are going for thanksgiving then it will be busy.

I am not sure what date you are going but my typical 5 day trip with the same parks would be for november:

Monday- Generally rooms are not ready till after 3pm but have anything you need for the park in your carryon bag. go to AK (AK closes very early)/epcot

(Avoid MK you are arriving late morning/afternoon more people in this park because of morning hours)

Tuesday- MK in am.
Epcot in pm, ADR Coral Reef Dinner

Wed- Rest and recreational day Hotel pool/water park
Dinner downtown disney

Thur- MGM studios Sci-fi dinner reservations
MK Open 3 hours late Cinderella round table (instead of princess breakfast)

Friday- AK-extra morning-
Get late breakfast reservations Donald Breakfastaurus
3pm MGM EMH evening
Late showing of fantasmic

Sat- Rest and recreational day Hotel pool/water park

Weekends are very busy for me at most I would do Blizzard beach or Typhoon Lagoon. My DW has a great time by the pool(she is not a huge fan), you might have someone like that in your family. I get there when the gates open and leave, after they close. My DD2 can only be in the park for 3 hours max before she starts acting up. I go back to the hotel in between parks take a nap replinish supplies. I am very strict in designating Theme park days from non-theme park days but I am flexible to change plans due to weather.

When are you going?
How many people and age of youngest?
Are you staying at a disney resort?
Can I come too?

Thanks for the reply. We are DH, myself, and 2DD 12 and 9. I have changed to:
Epcott- Monday afternoon
Tues- MK all day, plan to cancel Coral Reef to crazy of a schedule otherwise
Wed- Epcott
Thur- MGM
Fri- AK, pool late afternoon?
Sat.- Epcott, found Coral Reef ADR for lunch

I know I have no down days.. but this is our first time and if necessary we will head to hotel and return for evening fun. I don't want to miss anything.
Thanks for your input!
