This is my first trip to disneyworld, but I've been reading the boards and guidebooks. Here's what I've come up with.

Sept. 30 -- It's a honeymoon trip and we arrive at 1:00pm. I've been told magic express should get us to CSR by 3pm. Since MK is open till 11 pm that night we thought we'd mosey on over for an ADR around 6pm. I'm going to try and book Liberty Tavern, but with any ADR I mention here I'll take what I can get. Then we'll stick around and enjoy whatever rides we can along with Spectromagic and Wishes.

Oct. 1st -- We're going to sleep in just a bit our first morning, and head to Typhoon Lagoon for 10am. We'll stick around there for lunch. We'll head back to our resort around 2-3, rest a bit, then head out to MK again for a 6pm ADR. This time I'm trying for Tony's Town Square. MK is open for EMH from 9-12 so we're hoping to get on some of the headliners. If not we'll go to MK one more time later in the week.

Oct. 2 -- We're going to try to drag our stinking carcases out of bed for an EMH at 8am in AK this morning. We'll likely stay at AK until the mid day heat hits, then back to CSR for a nap. EMH for the evening are at MGM, so we'll have our ADR there at 6ish. I'm going to try and book at Sci Fi Dine-In.

Oct. 3 -- We may just sleep in this morning, but EMH are at Epcot if we can rouse ourselves out of bed. If not, we'll skip our afternoon nap. From Epcot (or CSR if we napped) we'll head to Downtown for some Disney Quest fun followed by Cirque Du Soleil, assuming I can get tickets of course. Hopefully I can also snag and ADR for Wolf Gang Puck's Cafe as well.

Oct. 4 -- Today is Epcot day! Rather than leave the park and come back again, we'll probably just sleep in. We'll get to enjoy an EMH evening anyway. We plan to enjoy the Food and Wine booths, explore the world showcase and catch the rides in the evening EMH. I'm hoping to get ADRs for San Angel Inn.

Oct. 5 -- We're going to sleep again and head to Blizzard Beach for 10am. We'll stick around there for lunch. We'll head back to our resort around 2-3 and eat at the Maya Grill at 5. Then we're headed to MNSSHP at 7. Again this assumes I get tickets... which I hope we do.. because everything except for Downtown and Epcot World Showcase closes at 7pm.

Oct. 6 -- This morning is open for anything if we've already had our fill of the MK. If not, and we missed a ride or two, we'll head to MK. The afternoon is slated for rest, and the evening for enjoyment of AK EMH. The ADR I want is Rain Forest Cafe. Not part of our free dining, but we want to check it out anyway. We'll head back to CSR at 8pm, and enjoy the resort pool and/or pack up for departure the next day.

Oct. 7 -- I'm hoping to get up early this morning and also get an ADR for Chef Mickey. It's my birthday and I want a big hug from Mickey. (Yeah.. I'm a child in an adult's body) Our plane leaves Orlando at 2pm... so we'll have to get back to CSR on time. Let me know if I'm cutting things too close. I don't know when I would have to check out and board magical express for the airport. If I can't eat with Mickey this day I will try to squeeze it in for Oct. 6th... but it won't be the same as my actual birthday. :P

That is the entire plan so far. I'm a bit worried that I've left too little time in some parks, and I can rearrange a bit if needed. Unfortunately the earlier closure of some parks necessitates taking advantage of EMH wherever they are. We're also at the mercy of Disney buses because neither of us can drive.
 
Are you planning on waiting to get there to make ADR's or are you making them soon? Some of them seem like they might be tough to get if you don't call soon.
 
I'm making them as soon as possible (probably within a day or two)
 
Looks good. You shouldn't have any problems with getting tickets to MNSSHP. By the way, that is a blast. Because you will be doing the party you might not have the desire/need to go to MK the morning of the 6th. When leaving for the airport....you leave roughly 3 hours before your flight departure time.

Have Fun!! :stitch:

Thanks. I left that morning for just about anything, including a big nap. :P

I noticed from you sig that you've been to PO quite a few times. Any particular reason you like that resort so much?
