Tentative Disney Plans

[WDWfirstimer]

Hello!!

I posted a few days ago in a panic over my disney vacation and planning. So many replies and helpful advice - thank you guys!!

So here is a tentative plan for the three days I will be at Disney. Wanted to know what you guys thought of it? I am attempting to take a 3hr break each day from the parks. I am off resort but very close (5 minute drive) and have rented a car. My only concern is the parks closing since I will be there July2, 3, and 4th. However, I chose Hollywood Studios for the 4th hoping that it will be less crowded as everyone heads to MK and then it wont close? What do you guys think about that? I also didnt schedule any dining for Hollywood Studios, figured I'd wing some quick service instead of sit down table service - bad idea?

Heres the schedule:

I am sorry it is too late at right now for me to critique much. Brain is turned off for the night I am sure plenty will be alon to help you out though. It the mean time I did want to ask, the rides that you have listed as ridin is not everyone riding? I see you noted motion sickness but the list is very varied with what you are doing and then comparing it what isn't because of motion sickness. For example you are doing Tower of Terror?!

Again it is very late here so I may just be missing something.

Tuesday - Epcot
The only comment I have on this day is that you should plan to do Maelstrom when you are over at the Biergarten, not is the morning when you are in Future World. Try to keep all your attractions grouped together for maximum efficiency.

If you manage to get on Test Track right away and end up with about 45 minutes to kill before your 1st fast pass, then you can consider riding Ellen's Energy Adventure. It is located close to Test Track. We enjoy the ride and the air conditioning is great.

During your EPCOT day, remember that the world showcase where Malestrom is doesn't open until 11.

Maelstrom - Does not open until the WS opens at 11am

You beat me by minutes...

I knew I should not have worried about changing the colors...

Epcot Day - As other's have already noted, WS does not open until 11am. I would cover off your list of FW attractions from 9 - 11am and move up your FP+ times accordingly. Then hit WS at 11ish, ride Maelstrom & browse shops on your way to your Biergarten lunch ADR.

MK Day - Since you're starting in Frontierland, I would hit Haunted Mansion on your way over to Fantasyland and Tomorrowland for the attractions you want to go there. Grouping your rides by areas of the park will cut down on having to navigate heavy crowds by crisscrossing the park unnecessarily.

I can't comment on the risk of leaving midday and not getting back into the parking lot. I only went once for July 4th weekend and that was almost 30 years ago. I'm sure others will be able to help with that though.

Hey! Its just me and my husband so he is sort down to do whatever I want to do but i figured he would really want to go on Rockin Rollercoaster so i set that up as a single rider line and ill wait for him. I promised myself i would force myself to go on tower of terror. I know its the big drops but hopefully ill deal. I dont really know what it is that gives me motion sickness besides boats and laying down in a car so ive always just avoided more intense coasters like mission space and rockin roller coaster, tea cups, etc.
