Right now this is what I have booked, along with our desires/wants for how the day could go. Obviously we know we have to play it as it comes but it's always good to hav ea plan.

Because we are going to MVMCP on the 19th, we don't plan to rope drop. I purchased LLMP for Hollywood Studios on Dec 20th and EPCOT on Sunday Dec 21st. (Our main goal is to have some quick rides, not to maximize the LLMP). We are early risers so we will probably be up by 7am and out the door by 8am on our way, but will get to HS after the bulk of the crowds load in.

Dec 20th
LL booked:
10:45AM - Rise of the Resistance
11:05 AM - Tower of Terror
12:45PM - Toy Story Mania!
3:05PM - Slinky Dog Dash (this one is the problem)
.... because

4:30PM Le Cellier (Candlelight Processional Dining Package - 8:15pm show)
6:35PM - Guardians of the Galaxy
8:15PM - Candlelight Processional (aren't too concerned with having the 'best' seats, we figure we will show up right after we get off Guardians -- assume we can be there by 7:30pm?)

I"m trying to move Slinky Dog to something before noon but I realize that may not be possible. Would we be better off switching to an early (9am is available as of right now) for MMRR and just wait in line for SDD? I'm also thinking that would let us tap into MMRR earlier and book something for EPCOT later (maybe the greenhouses or something).

Dec 21st
8:15AM - Cake Bake Shop
10:35AM - Seven Dwarves Mine Train
(park hop to EPCOT before the 4pm crowds show up for MVMCP)
3:35PM - Soarin' Around the World
5:40PM - Living with the Land - Glimmering Greenhouses
6:40PM - Test Track

The only real plans we have outside of MVMCP and the things booked above is to do some cookie stroll and storytellers at EPCOT between rides, or before our rides at EPCOT on the 21st.

My main concerns are getting SDD moved up to an earlier spot and whether we have enough time to get from Cake Bake Shop to Seven Dwarves on Sunday. I think we should be OK, especially given the windows they allow. After Seven Dwarves we'd likely just see if there are any rides with short-ish wait times that the kids may want to do and then hop to EPCOT to do cookie stroll/storytellers before our evening.

The ONLY ADR we plan to do is Le Cellier and Cake Bake Shop. Everything else will be quick service/snacks. Aside from trying to modify Cake Bake Shop to another time slot, it is non negotiable as we have wanted to try it for a while and we want to do brunch there. Sunday morning will be a time where we don't have to rush as far as getting in lots of activities, but I realize we may have to 'rush' from Boardwalk area to MK for our LLSP but it won't be a crazy rush since we can ride that basically anytime before noon with the 'grace period'?

(I'm going to edit this to clean it up a bit, or update if I can get different times).

Any and all suggestions welcome.
 
Your SDD is fine. You can ride 5 mins early then head to EP. If you aren’t concerned with best seats you can show up 20 mins before CP and be fine. (There is a grace period of like 15 mins on ADRs and Disney is understanding beyond that.)

Dining packages guarantee you seats. I’ve done 15-20mins before with NPH ( the most popular narrator) and was fine. I don’t care about best seats and while my seat wasn’t in the covered area it was absolutely fine. Frankly, I buy the dining package so I don’t have to stand in some stupid line.

Your cake bake is fine with 7DMT. As long as you are within a couple hours for 7DMT the system will let you in without issues.

Sounds like a fun trip!!

First of all, thanks to you because you've replied to a few of my posts in various threads!

The only thing I don't love about SDD is that we want to get to EPCOT sooner after lunch so we could do some of the cookie stroll/storyteller activities before our dinner reservation. Although, given our Sunday I suppose we can fit that stuff in after we leave MK. We plan to leave MK well before the 4pm rush -- probably like 1:30-2 depending on what we get into over there.

I will leave SDD for now though! Thanks!
