What do you think of this itinerary?

[01Sweetpea]

Me, DH, 13, 11 & 11yos are going to WDW 11/18 - 11/25, staying at the Poly. I need to make ADRs in less than 3 weeks, so I need to button my itinerary up. This is what I have come up with so far:

Sat. 11/18 - Arrive (no flights booked yet) - depending on arrival time we may go to MK. Dinner Chef Mickeys

Sun 11/19 - MK day - will probably take a break in the afternoon, will take advantage of EMH in the evening. Dinner Kona

Mon 11/20 - MGM day - will stay for Fantasmic but probably not stay for EMH. Dinner Mama Melrose

Tues 11/21 - MK day. Dinner ?????

Wed 11/22 - Epcot. Dinner Le Cellier

Thurs 11/24 (Thanksgiving) - AK. Dinner HDDR - already booked

Fri 11/25 - open day - go back and hit what we missed. Dinner Whispering Canyon

Sat 11/26 - leave. Breakfast 1900 Park Fare

So what do you think? Sugggestions to move things around?

Thanks!

I am by no means an expert, but from what I've read if you are not going to stay for EMH (your MGM day), I would pick a different park.

Thanks... we're thinking of going to TL. So maybe I'll make Monday TL day, and Friday MGM.

Thanks!

My suggestion for your open dinner on second MK day is Ohana. You can ride the monorail right from MK to the Poly and maximize your time that way. If you book it for about 1/2 hour before "wishes" goes off, you will see the fireworks show as you are eating. It is awesome...they dim the lights and pump the music in...a great experience! HAVE FUN!

Thanks! We went to 'Ohana in 2004 and really enjoyed it. We timed it right, had a window seat and were able to see Wishes it was great! I've heard they changed the menu, so I have to look at that.

How ironic!
We are going the same time as you,( 12/18 - 12/24) we are staying at the Poly and our tenative itineary is very similiar to yours. Even more ironic: We live about 1 1/2 hours from Hudson Valley, NY. What a small world!

 

[01Sweetpea]

Hi "neighbor". Not sure we'll be there at the same time.. we're going for Thanksgiving... seems like you'll be there for Christmas. Either way... it is a small world!

 

[KBarber]

oops We will also be there at Thanksgiving time. By the way your itineary looks good to me LOL!
