The first thing i would do is write a list of all the parks you want to do. Then have a look at all the menus for the Disney restaurants and write down which restaurants you would like to try.

You can book your ADR's 180 days before you check in and i would advise you doing this especially for the more popular restaurants.

You then need to decide if you want to take advantage of the extra magic hours or if you want to avoid the parks on those days as they tend to be busier. We are onsite and my itinerary is built around the supposed "quiet days" if there is such a thing!! I will then take a list of EMH's so if we fancy doing a couple we can decide when we are there.

The next thing would be arranging your park days into your itinerary which will help you with where to put your meals, i.e if you are going to spend the day at Epcot then it would make sense to make an ADR for a restaurant at Epcot, or maybe the Boardwalk.

Another tip would be if you are going to do the Disney waterparks then avoid those on Sat and Sun as they are extra busy.

Have you considered one of the MNSSHP nights at Magic Kingdom. Not scary like the Universal one but a great night.

We are having a 1 night stay at the Hard Rock Hotel in Sept to take advantage of the Front of Line passes. Can't wait for that.

Why don't you post a list of which parks you want to do and then the restaurants you are interested in, its a lot easier to plan when its all written down in front of you.:wave:

This is all presuming you want to plan an itinerary. Some people prefer to wing it but i would go mad if i didnt plan and i feel we would have missed so much. Some of DHs family went with us in 2005, they had been a few times before. I was chatting with them and they said "whats Spectromagic!!:erm: ", they had no idea what it was or where it was and had missed it on every trip. Mad!:confused2

I would do a b it of planning otherwise you might not fit in everything you would like too. I never find it necessary to spend all day in the parks, i'd get to tired anyway, go along for a few hours, back to hotel relax then out later refreshed to do what you like, I would also recommend MNSSHP it is a great time to go to MK also Universal and IOA are parks I really enjoy. Hope the weather will be favourable coz I arrive on 29 Sept 07 too :spin: :spin:

Hi there,

Take a look at the park hours link here on the Dibb. That will show you the Sept park hours and EMH's. Octobers hours should be out on April 1st and the EMH's follow shortly after that.:wave:
