Well? How did I do..

[happymom2one]

Well, I would like to get everyone’s opinion on how I did setting everything up. I will be there November 27 through December 2 and staying at the Caribbean Beach Resort. I have been so freaked out I am making such bad decisions that I just give up and don’t work on Disney Planning for weeks. I have had some awesome help along the way and would like to get your input. Thanks for all the help! Please tell me if there is anything that I should try to change. (It has been very hard to get fastpasses and dining reservations).

We are a family of five, 9 year old girl, 3.5 year old girl, my mom, husband and me. I don’t think we are too big in to the character meet and greets so we didn’t book any of them through fastpasses. I really had hoped to have an early morning breakfast to get into Magic Kingdom before opening but did not have any luck. I plan to be at rope drop for Hollywood studios but the family is not the early morning risers so we will get up and plan to be there around opening so we can ride rock n roller coaster. You will see a couple doubles on rides for Magic Kingdom (My husband wanted to ride them the first and last day. My family loves peter pan and Big Thunder. I hope and pray we can make it on the haunted house since it is only open on that Sunday we get there.

Looks good to me! We'll be there that same week You still might have some luck picking up some ADRs you were hoping to get, I'm hoping in the next 10 days or so as we come up on the deadline to pay balances maybe we'll see some cancellations. I'm looking to tweak a few of mine, too.

We'll be there on those dates too - I'm taking DD (29) & GD (9). If you're Haunted Mansion fans be sure to get a ride on Sunday - it'll be shutting down for the rest of the week starting Monday.

Keeping my fingers crossed. Are your park days similar to mine?

I'll be in MK on Sunday 11/27 but the rest of the days aren't the same. I'm doing MK Sunday, HS Monday, MK Tue, Epcot Wed, MK Thu, and AK Friday.

Everyone seems to do it a little different - there's a thread with those of us going that week if you guys want to join us!

All looks doable to me!

And if it makes you feel better, my family liked Mama Melrose's a lot better than 50's Prime Time.

So you plan to do 3 parks on December 1? That's a lot especially with kids, plus 2 table meals to fit in, 1 of which is not even in a park. I'd rethink that day.

Thanks! I am heading there now!

Yes! That is great news. Thanks.

Well, that is a hard one to answer. The morning we were planning just doing the safari since we are there for Tusker house and hoping to see animals. I really did Epcot for Frozen and then thought of Magic Kingdom since that is our favorite. Is it still too much?

We are there during the same time as well and may see you in HS! I hope you have a great time. Your plan looks good, a bit busy but doable. Have you been to Narcooses and Jiko before? Also, I think the last day is busy too. However you know your family and if they can handle it. It's just a lot of traveling to get to the different parks, especially on the busses or if you want to enjoy your time a little more.

You are going to spend so much time traveling on the 1st and your kids will likely be miserable. You plan on going to three parks, 2 resorts (the one you are staying at and another to eat), eat breakfast at 8:35 and not eat dinner until after 7. Honestly I think this is insane to try to accomplish, likely 3 hours traveling and starving family.
