Please check out our itinerary? :)

Please let me know what you think of my itinerary?

This will be my 13th trip (my friend's first), but it's my first adult-only trip. No DDP.

October 11th thru 17th - BLT stay. Park hoppers.

Tuesday, October 11:
Arrive 10am, check in
Check out resort
Head to MGM
50's Prime Time at 3:45p
FANTASMIC at 8p

Wednesday, October 12:
Epcot in AM (EMH PM - not interested)
Le Cellier at 1:05p
MK for MSEP/Wishes at 8p – 9p (could do this Saturday instead)
OR Fantasmic if missed night before

Thursday, October 13:
MK for EMH
Crystal Palace at 10:20a (after a couple of rides during EMH)
Then more MK or whatever we want.
Possible Fantasmic night if missed nights before - this was my first choice (with dinner package at MM) when it was only showing twice that week but when they made it nightly, I changed it to our arrival night with no package.

Friday, October 14:
AK for EMH
Then MK and dinner at CRT at 6:40p
Then dancing offsite!

Saturday, October 15:
MGM for EMH
GF for dinner at 1900 Park Fare at 4:30p
MK for MSEP/Wishes at 8p – 9p (only if we didn't go Wednesday)
Maybe dancing offsite again

Sunday, October 16:
Free morning but was another choice for early Crystal Palace breakfast for the early morning Castle pics.
May do boating at BLT and maybe DTD....take it easy.
MK for dinner at Tony’s at 5p
MNSSHP

Monday, October 17:
Free morning for what we missed
BUT was also another choice for Crystal Palace breakfast for the early morning pics.
MGM for Sci-fi at 3:30p - least priority of all ADRs. May cancel if I do Crystal Palace breakfast....what do you think?
Head to airport around 5:30p for 7:40p flight.

Any opinions?

Which Crystal Palace would you do? Late breakfast on a EMH day or very early for good pics on either Sun or Mon? I'm considering doing Crystal Palace Monday instead and canceling Sci-fi.

When would you do Fantasmic? I was going to do the dinner package, which I've done many times before, but heard bad reviews on MM so I was just going to wing it. I've winged it once...last August.

Thanks for any input.

I would do the early CP only because if we did a late breakfast, we'd be hungry and crabby and would be trying to kill time to get to the ADR. I like to start with breakfast, and then have a full stomach and not worry about needing to get anywhere until dinner.

As for F!, I've read that since it's offered each night, it will help the crowds. We decided to cancel our package and take our chances. I would do it your first night since you will already be in HS, and won't need to go back just for the show. You'll also be done at 50's PT with plenty of time to relax, get to and line up at F!

I would probably skip CRT since you're going to 1900 Park Fare. We always love 1900PF, the food has always been good and the characters are very funny and offer great interaction. CRT is cool because you get to be in the Castle; but if it were based solely on food... I wouldn't personally pay OOP for CRT. Otherwise, it looks awesome. Wish I were going too!!

Thank you but I want my friend to experience eating in the castle. I've eaten there several times and realize its not worth it for the food. I'm going for the 'experience' for my friend.

And as for 1900 Park Fare? I just LOVE the food...and the characters too.

Thanks. I'm leaning toward CP on Monday morning and canceling Sci-fi.

Ps...I'm about to cancel (online) a couple of ADRs that I changed with this itinerary....50's at 6p on Oct 11, CP at 10:20a and MM fantasmic package at 3:35p on Oct 13, and Sci-fi at 3:30p on Oct 17...if you are interested.

Looks much better! I also would have switched early morning CP for Sci-fi.

I think it's great that you gave yourselves a good amount of "wiggle" room, especially when this is your friend's first trip.

Thank you.

I like to have 'wiggle' room if at all possible. I LOVE park hoppers.
