What should we do FIRST?

[Latehoneymooner]

We arrive next Sunday at 9 a.m. which I am sure when it's all said and done we won't be at the BCR until about noon time.

What shall we do first?

Any suggestions on which Parks to visit on which days to avoid maximum crowd capacity?

Also, if I requested a water view at the BCR, will it matter if it's lake or pool for romantic setting? Is it possible we would get a villa instead?

Thanks so much as usual you're a wonderful resource!

Well, this is what we did when we went to Walt Disney World.

We arrived on a Saturday afternoon. Once we got settled in at our resort, we went to Magic Kingdom for dinner and then stayed their until closing. (Since we stayed on resort property, we got to take advantage of the *Extra Magic Hours* benefits on the first night. We also did the dining package.) The next day, Sunday, we went to Animal Kingdom in the morning, (We took advantage of the *Magic Hours* again.), ate lunch there, and then came back and chilled at the resort. At dinner time, we went to Magic Kingdom by bus, rode the monorail over to the Contemporary Resort for dinner, then rode it back to Magic Kingdom where we did everything else we wanted to that we didn't catch on the first night. On Monday, we did everything at Epcot. On Tuesday, we did everything MGM. On Wednesday, we spent the morning and afternoon at the resort, and then went to Downtown Disney that night. On Thursday, we spent all day at Blizzard Beach. On Friday, we spent all day at Typhoon Lagoon. On Saturday, we went around to all the different parks and did everything that we had not done that we wanted to do. Then on Sunday, we left!

Hope this helps!

We are also staying at BCR but not until August so I have major envy right now. Our flight arrives at MCO at 11:00 AM so I am expecting to check-in and then go to lunch. Because we have never stayed at BCR before I am planning on an afternoon of exploring the resort(s) and the Broadwalk, etc. and since Epcot is right there we'll probably pop on over there to get EMH because I have ADRs at the HDDR for 7:30 (I think, I'll have to double check but then I am not leaving tomorrow!

If you are arriving on Sunday, and I am assuming that you have park passes and hoppers that start immediately....I would choose something exciting for dinner, perhaps Hoop De Doo ( so afternoon swim, then head to Fort Wilderness and check out the peacocks etc, then dinner) or Marrakesh in Epcot even, take in a few things at the park, have a great dinner, and then Illuminations! What a great start that would be.

Whatever you choose, have a great time!

We are going to do it diffrent this year. Last year we had an early flight, so we had to get up at 4:00 a.m, our flight out of Chicago left around 7:15 A.M, which got us to WL around 12:00 P.M, then we went straight to MK untill our ADR at CA Grill at 8:00 P.M. Well to make a long story short, by the time we were on our way back to WL the whole family was over tired and very, very crabby which had and definatly set the tone for the whole trip.
This Aug on our arrival day we took a later flight, and the first afternoon we are just going to hang out around the resort, maybe do a little swimming explore the resort, and maybe check out DTD, go to bed early. and hit the parks early the next day well rested.
