Travel plans - any advice?

[benjyt]

We're headed to WDW on Saturday! I thought I might post an overview of our schedule and see if anyone thought I was missing something, or making bad mistakes!

There will be three of us - DW (7 months pregnant), (2 1/2 yrs. old), and me. Of course, we'll have a very casual pace during the week, both for DW and DS - and that's fine with me! I just enjoy the feel of WDW, and don't need to hit every attraction to enjoy the place...

Sat., 10/15: Arrive in LBV at 2 PM or so...

This was a late addition to the trip. We figured we'd go down a day earlier than planned, stay off-site (Sheraton Safari), and wade into the shallow end of our vacation. We have an ADR for Boma at 5:40 - first time for any of us. We plan to visit AKL early and look around, try to spot animals, etc. Back to the hotel after dinner for relaxation.

Sun., 10/16: To Beach Club Villas

We plan to have a leisurely breakfast, then visit DTD in the morning. We'll check-in to BCV early, perhaps not into our room but to have access to SAB! We'll probably eat lunch somewhere at the Boardwalk, then enjoy SAB during the afternoon. We have an ADR for 'Ohana at 5:40. If we feel up to it, we plan to go to FW and the Campfire singalong and movie.

Mon., 10/17: To Villas at Wilderness Lodge

We plan to have another casual breakfast at BCV, perhaps swim a little in the morning at SAB. We'll try to check in early at VWL - the last time we were there, DS spent 45 minutes running back and forth over the Springs. We'll either enjoy the resort/pool, or perhaps resort hop a bit in the afternoon. ADR for Trail's End - originally to lead to Campfire at FW, but we've changed our minds and plan to go to bed early.

Tues., 10/18: To MK

We have 8:25 AM ADR for Crystal Palace/Pooh! We plan to stay at MK for the morning, with lunch at MK counter service or back at CR or WL. In the afternoon, we may return to MK, or Epcot, or stay at WL. We have an ADR for Artist Point at 5:45 PM. No Wishes at MK on this night, so we may try to go to Epcot, depending on how everyone feels.

Wed., 10/19: Sleep in and AK

Tuesday will be a busy day, so we plan to sleep in on Wed. morning, enjoying the resort and pool. Lunch either at Concourse (ADR) or AK, where we'll spend the afternoon. No dinner ADR yet, so we may go to MK in the early evening and try to catch Wishes.

Thurs., 10/20: Epcot

B'fast at WL/Roaring Forks, then over to Epcot for F&W, etc. We have ADR at Biergarten at Noon - may head back to VWL for afternoon break. Thursday afternoon return to Epcot/WS, Food and Wine, perhaps Illuminations.

Fri., 10/21: Home

We'll sleep in, b'fast at Roaring Forks, perhaps swim... then back to Georgia.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Take me with you!

Your plan sounds very relaxed, once you get to VWL. Definitely focus on the little guy and just enjoy your time together before he becomes a big brother.

I leave also on the 15th. It is just me and my DW. Here are our plans so far.

Oct 15th - Check into the SOG after 9 hours of airports and planes .

Oct 16th - Sleep in and recover the long travel on Saturday. In the afternoon I will be hunting for somewhere to watch the Detroit Lions and other footbal games while my DW shops.

Oct 17th - All day at EPCOT

Oct 18th - Relax and recover from EPCOT

Oct 19th - Possibly AK.

Oct 20-22 - Watch golf at the Funai Classic and find other stuff to do around WDW. We only plan on the 2 parks, since it is just the 2 of us we do not want to go to MK or MGM.

Oct 22pm - Fly home
