Some of you may have seen my itinerary posts for comments in the strategies thread. Here is what I believe is the final version for our May trip. Numbers after parks are TP crowd level predictions. I noted where we're using taxis for resort-to-resort travel. All other times I expect to use DTS. We have 7 day park hoppers with deluxe dining (which I figured out made sense for the places I want to eat, the snacks, and the fact that it's just me and my son.)
I'm posting this for a couple reasons: first, because I'm doing the happy dance, but also because I've put a lot of time and effort into this and I thought maybe someone might want to copy it!

I know some people will feel that this is too much sit down dining, but frankly that's a major part of what I like about WDW so it's worth it to me. I feel that we'll get done enough touring to keep both of us happy, and the sit down meals are a good transition between the hectic pace of touring and down times.
Enjoy!
