Rough Draft of our Itinerary....
I say "rough draft" because while we always do a day by day plan like this we are VERY flexible with our plans. So, they do change often. The only thing that pretty much stays the same is our Dinner plans. Although on rare occasions they have changed too.
Leaving day- We are driving down from B'ham Alabama and driving straight to Orlando for our first night stay at the Royal Plaza hotel in DTD. We are leaving much earlier than we normally do just so we can hopefully get there in time to actually ENJOY the hotel since we are only staying there one night. So, we are planning to leave home around 2am. That should put us there (with stops and everything) by 2pm...on with the plans...
Day 0- Arrive at Royal Plaza hotel around 2pm. Boys go for a swim..I take a short power nap. Dinner will be delivery from Giordano's then we will head to DTD for dessert at Ghirardelli and a little shopping and site seeing. Head to bed early for our transfer to POFQ and our first day in the parks!
Day 1- Wake up early and check in to POFQ then board a bus and be at HOllywood studios for SWW in time for the opening.
Lunch-Pizza Planet
Dinner- Sci Fi
When HS closes head to MK for EMH
Day 2- Magic Kingdom
Lunch- Casey's Hotdogs (DH and DS fav)
Dinner- Ohana
Day 3- Animal Kingdom
Lunch- Tusker House
Dinner- 1900 Park Fare
When AK closes head to Epcot for EMH
Day 4- Sleep in/Swim/ Epcot
Sleep in a bit and enjoy some time at the pool. Lunch will probably be at resort. Then head to Epcot for dinner at LeCellier and stay for illuminations. After Epcot closes head to HS for EMH or to DTD
Day 5- Magic Kingdom
lunch- Pinocchio Village Haus
Dinner- Tonys
Once MK closes head to Epcot for EMH
Day 6- Hollywood Studios (SWW)
I plan to sleep in a bit while the boys head to SWW. I will meet up with them in time for dinner at the Brown Derby.
Once HS closes head to MK for EMH
Day 7- Hollywood Studios (SWW)
Lunchy- Catalina Eddies
Dinner- Chef Mickeys
Day 8- we really are leaving this open. If the boys haven't had enough of SWW then we will head back to HS....otherwise we will play this one by ear and do whatever. We don't have dinner plans.
Departure day we always sleep in and then head to Planet Hollywood for lunch before we leave.
So..that's our rough draft. We will see how close we keep it!
