Please help with feedback on my first trip plans

[imanaussie]

I will be visiting Orlando from the 26th October to 6th November - 8 nights at Animal Kingdom Lodge and 3 nights at Universal (Loews Royal Pacific). I will be flying in from LA after doing some sightseeing, going to Sea World and of course, spending 1 night/1 day at Disneyland. I will then be flying to Las Vegas for 4 nights before heading back home to Melbourne, Australia.

I have been to Orlando once before. I spent 4 nights at a hotel near Universal Studios. I had 3 days at Universal and (stupidly) visited all 4 Disney parks in one VERY RUSHED day

Your plans look pretty good to me! One park per day is how we like to do WDW as well, and it looks like you've scheduled plenty of time to do lots of fun stuff there and at Universal. My only comment is that I usually don't like to do a sit-down dinner every day -- it takes up a lot of time, it's a lot of food, and it can get a little overwhelming, IMO. But if that's your thing, you should know of course! Have a great trip!

Can't give any advice on Universal 2 things stand out that I question:

What time did you do Tony's ADR on MNSSHP ?
party goers can enter for party at 4pm and since there is so much to see I wouldn't waste party time eating for the day I'm going I did a 2:30 Crystal Place ADR Of course early entry depends on the tickets you have if you can't get in earlier than 4 I would suggest grab counter service to not waste time

Discovery Cove after a full day there ( awesome awesome experience, although I haven't yet done trainer for a day) and eating/ drinking all inclusive I would give up the BOMA ADR unless its a late one
