Hey,
I've been lurking here for a long time and recently started posting as I am planning our December trip. Have been to Disney a bunch but never did ADRs and never had a problem. But that was prior to DDP, and pre-kids so we were alot more flexible. Plus we are a group of 7 adults plus my two preschoolers. I've gotten a ton of great advice over the past few weeks & would love any feedback from more experienced Disers to see if I am missing anything. I'm calling for ADR's tommorow & then want to stop thinking about the trip for awhile (its too depressing knowing how far off it is
)
Our last trip was a bit "rough" due to lack of planning & so many people going in different directions. So I am planning this time. FYI, we are not doing hoppers & have the DDP. We will take afternoon breaks if needed & will be focusing mostly on stuff for kids (not really trying to do non-kid rides, maybe a few if time allows)
Here we go:
Sunday 12/2 - Arrive MCO probably early afternoon. Hang out at pool then Chef Mickeys 5:00
Monday - MK all day. Tony's 5:00 followed by Spectro & Wishes starting at 7pm. Do I have enough time to get a decent spot for Wishes with a 5PM adr??
Tuesday - AK in the morning 'til just after lunch. Ohana 5pm. Then monorail it to MK for MVMCP. Am I leaving enough time to get into MK? Will there be a huge crush to get into MK around 6:30/7? Should I just be doing a MK TS this night?? I REALLY want to fit Ohanas in somewhere
Wednesday - Epcot all day. LeCellier 6pm. Coral Reef & Spoodles are my backup plan. Stay for Illuminations. ETA:How long is the walk to Spoodles? Would a 5pm dinner leave us enough time to walk back to WS & stroll a bit prior to Illuminations?
Thursday - MGM in the morning. Late breakfast at H&V to see Little Einsteins 11am. Pizza Planet for dinner and stay for lights. Not doing Fantasmic.
Friday - Probably back to MK, or a waterpark depending how we feel. Dinner at DTD 5pm Raglan Road. It's my DH's b-day, is this a good spot to celebrate?
Saturday - Heading for MCO probably mid afternoon. Enjoy pool or DTD. Can use a TS at Olivia's if we missed any ADRs.
All ideas/comments welcome!
