Quick Trip for 1st Timer

[Amy1987]

Hi,

My DH, 3 1/2 yr. old DD and I will be visiting Disney for the 1st time June 3 - 5. We are only able to squeeze this trip in while visiting family in Florida. We realize we won't be able to do everything in this amount of time. This trip is all about our DD enjoying herself, our fun will be watching her! I need your help with the itinerary.

Thursday, 6/3: We will be arriving around 10am and want to go to MGM. How should we plan this day?

Friday, 6/4: We will be going to MK and plan to follow the touring plan in the UG.

Saturday, 6/5: We will be going to AK and again plan to follow the touring plan in the UG. We will need to leave around 4:30 to get to the airport.

We wanted to see some fireworks at least once and also wanted to visit the Living Seas. Is there any way to fit this in? We are staying at Pop Century and have UPH passes. Also, for what its worth, our DD is very adventerous, has tons of energy and doesn't nap One set of grandparents will also be with us.

Thanks for your help.

Amy

Amy1987,

Well it looks to me like your only option for visiting the Living Seas would be on that Friday, which appears to be your no pressure day.

Otherwise, you may be able to fit it in on the Thursday when you're at MGM. You could take the boat from MGM to Epcot. I'm guessing it's about a 25-30 minute boat ride.

You'd have to leave MGM early though, because it looks like Future world closes at 7pm during that time.

I'd recommend checking out the park hours at the above link to coordinate.

Good luck and remember 3 days is better than no days!

Depending on how much you plan to see at MGM, you may be able to fit in The Living Seas on that Thursday, like cmonroe said. It really depends on if you plan to see Fantasmic at MGM. If you do, going to Epcot probably isn't feasible. If you do go to Epcot, Illuminations is worth sticking around for (usually at 9pm.) You will have to get to Epcot by about 6pm if you plan on seeing The Living Seas in time, though.

Your MK day on Friday sounds fine. Friday is usually a good day to visit the MK, and there is a showing of the Wishes fireworks that night.

Your Saturday at the AK should be fine too-- you'll have 6 or 7 hours, which should be plenty.

Hope you have a great trip! We'll be at WDW at the same time as you guys (June 1-9), also at Pop Century! MAybe we'll se you there!
