What do you think of my itinerary?

[CDoobee]

I'm having trouble fitting everything in! Maybe there's a better way?

Who's going
Me, age 50 (oh, okay, I'll be 51 by then!) This will be my 15th trip to WDW, 11th time in 5 years!
Friend (female)-53 (I think!). She has only been once, about 25 years ago!

When-September 2-6

I know there is no way to do it all, and if it was just me there would be plenty of things I would skip. I went for a partial-solo trip (my sister surprised me after the first 3 days!) last January, and didn't do much at all. I rode a few tame rides like Spaceship Earth, El Rio del Tiempo, Figment, etc., but mostly just wandered around people watching. I did stop and watch the parades, fireworks, etc. except for Fantasmic. (I like it but it just isn't one of my favorites.) I had a great time! This trip I am trying to figure out a way that my friend will be able to see all the parades, fireworks, etc. since she hasn't been in so long!

We have the free dining package, so are also trying to fit in 4 CS and 4 TS meals!

Here's what I have so far:

Friday, 9/02
Arrive at MCO-1:30 PM, check into PC, then go to
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Dinner-Boma, then to
Pleasure Island/Adventurer's Club

Saturday, 9/03
AK-EMH
Lunch-Counter Service
Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade-4:00, then go to
Epcot-World Showcase
Dinner-Marrakesh
Illuminations-9:00, then go to
Jellyroll's

Sunday, 9/04
Epcot-Future World until World Showcase opens
Lunch-Counter Service, then go to
MGM
Stars and Motor Cars Parade-5:00
Dinner-50's Prime Time Cafe
Fantasmic-8:30, and stay for EMH


Monday, 9/05
Epcot-EMH-Future World, then World Showcase
Lunch-Counter Service, then go to
MK
Share a Dream Come True-3:00
Dinner-Whispering Canyon Cafe
Spectromagic-9:00
Wishes-10:00

Tuesday, 9/06
MK
Lunch-Counter Service
Leave for MCO about 4 for 7 PM flight.

I know it's a lot and we're going to be tired! Is there a better way to fit all this in?

Thanks for any opinions!

Excellent - you have definitley done your homework.

On Tuesday, try Ohana's or CA Grill instead of Counter. Just a suggestion.

Good suggestion, but we will have already used our 4 TS meals and still have 1 CS meal to use (free dining plan). I also thought maybe we needed some more MK time. Actually, we just need more TIME, period!! About 2 weeks ought to do it!!
