Good Morning!
We are coming up to the time to schedule our FPs and I wanted your feedback on this itinerary and ask you a few questions. Some background: We are going the first week of August and we live on the Gulf Coast, so understand the heat and humidity. We are staying at the Contemporary Club level and it will be my husband, myself, and our 2 kiddos (8 & 5). It will be the first time for the kids and husband...I have been numerous times. And, we are surprising the kids. They think we are going to visit my aunt and uncle, who live outside of Orlando. We will visit them after the trip.
Arrival Day: Driving in from Alabama and we have reservations at Raglan Road for dinner/check out DS
Day 1: EMH HS/back to resort if we feel like it/Magic Kingdom (where we will book our FPs)
Day 2: EMH AK/back to resort if we feel like it/Epcot (where we will book our FPs) (reservations at either Rose & Crown, Biergarten, or San Angel...cannot decide (HELP!)) and stay for Illuminations
Day 3: RD Epcot (lunch at Askershus)/back to resort if we feel like it/cannot decide between going back to AK or HS
Day 4: RD MK (Crystal Palace late breakfast) all day at MK, O'hana for dinner
Day 5: RD MK all day/check out this day before heading to park and heading to my aunt and uncle's.
So, I need help with that second part of day 3. I know, I know that Pandora will be open, but honestly, we did not love Avatar and cannot see us getting on the Flight ride due to possible motion sickness. I suppose it is supposed to be beautiful at night and perhaps that is worth it? I am planning on doing a Star Wars dessert party, so I am somewhat leaning on heading back to HS and staying for the party, but do not want to miss out on AK if it is an absolute don't miss at night.
I also need help deciding between the 3 Epcot restaurants (I can cross post this in the restaurant forum). Is Rose and Crown similar to Raglan Road? I just want something fun and somewhere with good food (aren't we all?). Thank you for any advice you can provide! Although we will definitely have some ebb and flow, I know that our family will operate better if we have a rough schedule in place. Thank you so much!
