Would love any advice/critique on itinerary (1st trip)

[krog8]

This is our very 1st trip to WDW, the week of Columbus Day in October.

Our party is myself/hubby (35), grandma (60), son (4), daughter (turning 6 there), and our babysitter (28) who I'm having come with because I have a rare auto-immune disease and there could be days where I can't leave the hotel room without notice. Also, my 4 year old is allergic to peanuts and I eat gluten-free so dining is a bit of a challenge for us.

I've worked really hard on getting ADRs that are safe for myself and my son but I'm not doing as well with QS places and snacks.

Monday
12:30pm arrive in Orlando
Hotel is POFQ
6:30 - Raglan Road in Downtown Disney

Tuesday

4:30 - FP for Cinderella/Rapunzel for girls

For Wednesday: I'm not sure how late MK is open that night, but do you really want to go back after 6 pm? I'd say yes, if you didn't get to see the fireworks the night before. One night was enough for our family.
If you're sticking around for the 3 pm parade in MK already, what about either calling it a day after that, or staying a bit longer then leaving the park for the day? You could relax and do some pool time, have dinner at hotel?
Looks like you're ready for a super time!! and a nice time of year to go

Disney is GREAT in this area, just let them know your restrictions and they will take good care of the family. A lot of the gluten-free deserts are far superior to the "common" ones.

Tuesday night's MK fireworks will be Hallowishes I believe and Wednesday will be regular Wishes as well as the Electrical Parade and Castle Show that's why we wanted to go back....

Thank you!!!

Good! I am trying to well it well so my son isn't begging for a burger after burger after burger the whole trip yet he is safe too. I am SO upset there are no safe GF cupcakes on Disney but I plan on stocking up at Erin McKenna's in DD for me

I would just try to get to your (Wednesday) BOG reservation a little early, if they'll let you in. Otherwise you'll be REALLY be rushing for you Peter Pan FP.

You have some potential late nights followed by early mornings, which could be tricky, depending on your kids. My older two needed to be in bed on the early side in order to be up and out for an early ADR or park opening. My third kid was/is much more go with the flow and would be fine. Just thought I'd mention it as we learned the hard way with our older two that late nights and early mornings weren't ideal for them.
