Please review my Disneymoon itenerary. (long) **Updated**

[Hippychickali]

My fiance and I are going on our Disneymoon in July and was wondering if you would review this draft of our itenerary. I know that it's early but I'm so excited that I've been planning since we got engaged. Finally, I have something put together for our stay. We are flexible to changes and if we can't make it to certain PSs or decide to cancel them, that is fine.

I noticed you have alot of PS at restaurants that serve big meals all on the same day.. You may or may not want to rethink some of those. When we're at WDW, if we have a big sit down breakfast than we would never need to have a PS for lunch just a quick bite and maybe a PS for dinner. I don't know how Hollywood and Vine is but if I were choosing a Fantasmic package I would definitely pick The Brown Derby. That is a special treat and perfect for a Honeymoon couple. Good luck to you and enjoy!

We chose Hollywood & Vine because it seems to have more that my fiance would like to eat. He's terribly picky. Not only that but it's cheaper. As far as the big meals go, we'll play that by "ear". Like I said, we are flexible and will cancel PSs as we need to. I just want to be covered because they are easy to cancel but they are hard to come by. We will probably use them all even if it is just to get dessert at the restaurants. I know what you mean though. I plan to space them out too so that we aren't eating our dinners until as late as possible and our breakfasts as early as possible. For now, I want to keep them knowing that I can always cancel.

I think (just my opinion) that for a honeymoon/disneymoon there is too much scheduled. I would leave a little time to do whatever/whenever.

I'm not a commando disneyer though.

I don't really think that I've over planned. The only thing we have as a commitment is the Fantasmic Dinner Package because they take a deposit. Like I said, we can always go with the spur of the moment but I like to have PSs made just in case and a basic idea of where we are going. The PSs I would like to make an effort to keep are the Concourse Steakhouse, Sci Fi Dine-In Theatre, Spoodles, and Cinderella's Royal Table.

I guess my purpose in posting this here was to get more of sense of if we are going to certain parks on good days, etc. For example, I have decided on MGM for the fourth of July hoping to avoid the crowds at MK and Epcot. Is this a good idea?

If you want to discuss my dining choices, I have posted my PSs over at the restaurant board and as for romance, there's a thread on the Disney Weddings and Honeymoons board as well.

Thank you for all your input so far.

I think its smart to have the PS for all the places you're at least "pretty sure" you want to go to.

We found that last year it was nice to have a certain amount of structure - in the form of knowing where we needed to be for a certain meal - we made dinner plans for every night we were there, and did our park hopping accordingly.

 

[Hippychickali]

Alright, I've been inspired to cut down on my number of PSs. I think I can tell now which we will keep and with we won't so I think I'll just make the one's we absolutely want as to not pressure ourselves to be certain places at certain times. This keeps the structure but freedom as well. Please review the changes I have made in my OP and let me know how it looks now.
