Double check the train may be down while u are there

Otherwise I like the plan
And think you will have plenty of time for extras

 

[alh2011]

Ugh I hope not my little boy loves he train!!

 

[ELSA711]

Looks like you are clear, the train refurbishment starts 10/12...just in time for my trip...lol

So sad, we love the train but the past two years it was under refurb.
(helps getting from land to land too)

 

[Sybernova]

Plan looks solid and you budgeted a good amount of time to get to one place or the other. Good job!

 

[nat8199]

I am glad to see that you are getting approval on your plan! I am there the week before you and have things similarly timed. I am also hoping to get a 4th and maybe 5th FP so similar rides. Hopefully we both have good luck!

I think on Sunday 9/27 you will definitely get 4th and 5th FP+
We had 6 total a similar Sun in October last year

That is very good to hear! We will be in MK Sunday the 20th. I have not been since you could get the additional FP, so I was wondering how realistic getting more would be.

Only thing I would caution on is if you are trying to get / relying on extra rider swap tickets, sometimes CM's ask where the child who can't ride is. I don't think this happens frequently but on my last trip (last Oct.) I was asked a lot of times. Luckily most of the time my DW was there but other times she was feeding our daughter and I told the CM that and they seemed ok with it. I don't know if they are trying to catch people abusing the system or what but it seemed odd. Just a heads up.

Thanks for info. But sorry the train will not be running on your trip.

Thanks for heads up. But I will have my son with us when getting RS and then will go do something else while we wait.

I don't know...seems like a lot of overplanning to me, especially considering you're touring with 7 people and during a relatively slow time of year. Especially when the little kids go "let's do it again", as kids that age (and some adults) will do after getting off an exhilarating ride. I hate to give up spontaneity, especially with younger kids. I understand the desire to get as much done as you can, but its also nice to sit back and watch them enjoy it. Anyway, I hope your plans go well...it does sound like a good time.

I don't know, I didn't think she had a lot of rides on her list.
We went last October, showed up Sunday morning at like 9:30. Did all rides in Fantasyland (including 7DMT ; except PP), some twice before our 12:30p lunch at BOG. Right before lunch I got my PP FP for after we ate.
Then moved on to Frontierland and Adventureland.

They changed the dates on the railroad closure. I'm going Nov 11-19 and it will be closed. It starts and ends later.

OP, your plan looks good. My only caution would be 40 min for lunch at Peco Bills. Just be prepared that it may take longer. I've found it to be slow to serve.

Yea it's a lot of planning. And I will have no problem detouring from it once we are in the parks. But I found last year that it really helped to have a plan so not wondering around lost. Especially with larger group. Lol. It helped us to accomplish a lot in the morning when crowds were low and then we just winged it and went at slower pace in he afternoons.

No problem if takes longer. Of course I know the times I have listed are not set in stone. It's Just a guideline for me to get more accomplished in the mornings. Then the afternoons are for doing whatever we want too. Lol.

Wow. Okay. We will be cutting it close. Hopefully they don't close it a day earlier b

Hmmm.....I'm going 10/31-11/10, so I guess the change is worse for me. I'm surprised that wdwinfo.com has the dates wrong (and says that it was updated as of 7/11/15).
