Will you critique my plan?

So I'm at a loss... I have a day and nothing to do! (IN DISNEY!)...

Going Saturday to Saturday, staying at Wilderness Lodge, 2 adults, 1 (5yrold)

Saturday - arrive at 10:30am (at MCO) then we figured hotel/acclimate ourselves, dinner at Chef Mickey's.

Sunday - be there for rope drop at MK, day at MK, w/BBB at 12:30pm followed by CRT at 4:10(only reservation time I could get!)...

Monday - day at Epcot, followed by dinner at Cape May at the BC, we like that restaurant...then back to EP for Illuminations.

Tuesday - day at the pool with an afternoon/evening at HS, (doing a Fantasmic dinner package).

Wednesday - animal kingdom

Thursday - NOTHING!?! what to do? (please no water parks)... made a reservation at O'Hana's for breakfast...

Friday - back to magic kingdom - breakfast at Crystal Palace, hoping for lunch or dinner at BOG...

Saturday - downtown disney, then depart at 3:30? for a 6:30pm flight...

Maybe play with you Epcot day? Epcot all day, with Illuminations at night, is a long day, especially with a 5 year old. Maybe split that into 2 days? You could give your daughter some down time, and let her do Cub's Den at WL, to give you and your spouse a date night on either of your Epcot days... then you could hit a park together, get a dinner somewhere, or go to a movie.

Thanks I didn't really think about being there all day! I like that, maybe we'll be able to do the front part and then the countries or something...

I would probably keep Thursday as another pool/relax day. After your breakfast, you could stroll through the Poly, sit in a hammock, take pics on their beach, etc. Maybe ride the monorail and stop at one of the other resorts on the monorail line if you want to check them out. Alternately, for your free Thursday, you could maybe do mini-golf and/or go to the s'mores campfire or Hoop De Doo that night.

Could also make that your DTD day, catching a bus from Poly after your breakfast. You could then keep your last day as a day to sleep in and swim in the a.m. before packing up to leave.

Another thought, just keep it open and depending on how your week has played out, it can be your back-up day for whatever you may have missed and want to go back to do. You can probably make FPs the night before and get some things you want. Just in case you have a rainy day/hot day/bad day/illness/etc. earlier in the week.

I would probable split the Epcot days in two. Sleep in a little from the long day at MK, hit the pool, and then head to Epcot late afternoon to do the World showcase. Walk over to BC for dinner. Then back to EP for Illuminations.

Thursday - Eat at O'Hana's for breakfast, take the monorail over to EPCOT future world and then leave when you are ready. Head to the pool, get a good night sleep for the long day at MK on Friday.

I would add another MK day. We find that we need two days at MK to do everything we want (esp if characters are on the menu). By adding a third MK day we can all pick out a couple of favorites to do again. It usually ends up being our favorite MK day b/c we are running around less and feel less pressured We do that in the morning and then have a pool afternoon.

Two days at EPCOT is nice too but it depends on what your plans are there. Our family (with similar aged daughters) didn't get into World Showcase, so we probably won't do as much of it next time. Makes me sad b/c I could snack and shop there all day, but not with whining children.
