and congratulations on your first trip! I will add you to our front page. If you have any questions, please ask. We are a very friendly, helpful group of disers here, if I do say so myself!
EPCOT does always pose that problem - we tend to do Future World at RD - hit all the major things from 9 - 11amish (or 8 if there is EMH) - then we will walk half way through World Showcase - and have lunch somewhere on that path - we will then take the boat back across the lake to save a little leg-work (I find that World Showcase gets so hot in the middle of the day) - we then tend to return to our resort for 3 hours or so to get out of the sun/take a break - and then around 4pm head back - we will take the boat to the spot where we left off earlier in the day and then walk back through World Showcase. If there were things we missed in Future World, we tend to plan to hit them on our second day that we visit Epcot. Most trips we do 2 days at Epcot for that reason. I'm not sure if that helps you - but you can use the boats to get back and forth to the back of World Showcase if you want to revisit later in the day - instead of taking a resort break you could easily substitute it with your idea of visiting things in Future World that you missed - Figment, the Living Seas, The Land... all have great things to do inside and out of the heat!
I have a couple of questions for you guys. 
Thank You sooo much!!!! Only 37 days to go
The 1st is that I keep making the countdown tickers but whenever I cut and paste the link no picture shows up. I'm sure that I'm making a newbie mistake and was hoping someone could let me know how to do it right? Thanks!!!
My 2nd question: On July 4th we have an 8am Breakfast reservation at CRT. I was told to arrive 15 mins early (7:45) and that I also need to allow about 15 mins to walk from entrance of MK to the castle. So basically we need to be there at 7:30. I'm a little concerned about arriving on time. Do we need to get a taxi or are we pretty safe grabbing a 7am bus? Is there a recommended bus stop from POR that would be the best one for us to go to?
I'd love your advice! Thanks!
Ok..we already paid off the balance..I guess I should just keep our current hotel..we are driving so no worrying about M.E.I always thought that if you haven't made your final payment you can change pretty much any time. If you do it after the 45 day mark and it costs more you have to pay it immediately. But if you are doing the Magical Express, there needs to be enough time to get the information to you. I could be WAY off but I always remember that kind of timeframe. Hope that kinda helps.
not sure what times because that's the day we already have a FP for them, but just thought I would share.
