Hannah's first trip to WDW!

[sarahc]

Have decided to post this in the hope that you’ll cast your expert eyes over it and tell me how perfect it is…or not, as is more likely!:confused2
There will be my mum, dad, brother, DH, DD age 4 and myself going on this trip and all of us have been before with the exception of DD, Hannah. I’ve tried to build in lots of rest days as I have no idea how DD will cope with the scale of WDW. She’s been to DLP several times but obviously it’s much smaller and we only go for a few days at a time. I figure that if she’s coping well, we’ll replace some of the rest days with park days and play it by ear.
I used undercovertourist.com’s busy day guide, and touringplans.com + the Dibb for Park Hours, EMH etc.
With the exception of my ADRs we haven’t made any dining decisions but I have an extensive list of Dibb recommendations to choose from! My breakfast ADRs are all late ones as DH wasn’t sure he’d be able to get out of bed for the early slots! He’s got a shock coming as I plan to get to the parks before they open if it kills me!

Here goes!

Sat 5th May: depart Bristol Airport with Continental at 10.50 am (we hope!). Arrive (via Newark, where we’ll eat dinner) at MCO at 19.10pm. Collect cars, drive to villa and crash out!

Sun 6th: unpack; food shop at Walmart/Publix; pool; visit DTD to buy my Pal Mickey.

Mon 7th: Magic Kingdom until DD gets tired. Then pool + rest.

Tues 8th: Blizzard Beach.

Wed 9th: Pool day + outlet shopping. Visit Pirate’s Cove Adventure golf in the evening. Any good places to eat near here?

Thurs 10th: Epcot. ADR at Princess Storybook breakfast for 10.25am. Back to villa for rest mid-afternoon then back for ADR at Rose and Crown for 7.40pm. Illuminations (hopefully viewed from our prime-position, lakeside table – in my dreams!).

Fri 11th: Magic Kingdom again til we’re tired, then pool.

Sat 12th: Dad and James (my bro) off to Discovery Cove. DH off to SkyVenture? Pool day for the rest of us.
Evening: Magic Kingdom for Spectromagic + Wishes.

Sun 13th: Animal Kingdom.

Mon 14th: SeaWorld. Rest during afternoon then back for evening show.

Tues 15th: Typhoon Lagoon.

Wed 16th: Disney Studios. ADR at H & V for Little Einsteins/JoJo’s Circus breakfast at 10.15am.
Rest at villa mid-afternoon.
ADR at H & V (yes, again!) for Fantasmic package. Fantasmic at 9pm.

Thurs 17th: Pool/shopping day.

Fri 18th: Magic Kingdom. ADR for Cinderella’s Royal Table breakfast at 10.20am.
Pack + rest.
Back to MK for Wishes?

Sat 19th: the day of doom.:cry: Return home. Leave MCO at 16.35pm.

So there you go. Any thoughts/advice/tips would be much appreciated.:thumbs-up

Hi they day your DH is planning Sky Venture, y not accompany him for moral support, then a bit of shopping up at Festival Bay or Prime Outlets, and have lunch at sweet tomatoes

It looks a very good mix of rest and busy, good choices for your restaurants too.

I don't know about moral support. The last time he did this I spent the entire time laughing at him! I like the outlet shopping idea though!:d: I'd love to do Sweet Tomatoes as well but DH, Dad and my bro are all big meat eaters and I'd never get them in there!:nonono:

I think you have absolutely the right approach which will ensure you don't get a tired and grouchy daughter and the adults remain stress free. Obviously you may wish to add and change as you go along but you have left yourself with ample opportunity to do this.

Hope you have the most wonderful time xx
