Itinary for Oct 2007

[griffl02]

Hi everyone :wavey:

Just been sorting out our itenary for October, just wandered what you thought and any suggestions gratefully received (not going to Busch Gardens or Universal this year due to the fact that we are going to Discovery Cove and funds wont permit).

Day 1: Fly out, Villa, Walmart for supplies then IHOP for dinner.

Day 2: MGM, Fantasmic package at Hollywood and Vine

Day 3: Blizzard Beach, Epcot (not sure about dinner tonight)

Day 4: Discovery Cove

Day 5: Shopping (never done this before), back to villa for swim then
MNSSHP (Liberty Tree Tavern)

Day 6: Typhoon Lagoon then Kissimmee old town (not sure about dinner)

Day 7: Seaworld, dine with Shamu maybe DTD (depending on what time Seaworld closes)

Day 8: Blizzard Beach, MGM (Sci Fi diner for dinner)

Day 9: Crystal Palace for Breakfast then full day at Magic Kingdom (maybe IHOP for dinner)

Day 10: Animal Kingdom (Whispering Canyon cafe for dinner)

Day 11: Segway Tour, full day at Epcot with a walk to Beaches and Cream (for desserts, not sure for dinner)

Day 12: Blizzard Beach, then MGM (maybe 50 prime something or other for dinner, just been reading about it on another link, sounds fun)

Day 13: Dont really know what to do

Day 14: Ditto

Day 15: DTD check in, Blizzard Beach, then home (Boo Hoo:cry: :cry: )

This is all subject to change of course, not really sure what to do on day 13 and 14 other than repeat what we have already done on a previous day. Any help with dinner suggestions (nowhere too posh).

Thanks:D :D

Lynne looks good to me.
How about a drive to I drive ther are loads of places to eat, you can park up and take a walk and do some shopping there.

We like Johnny Rockets an all american diner they even give you money to put in the jukebox on your table.

There is also very cheap all you can eat pizza buffet there called Ci Ci Pizza.

why not take a trip to the florida mall or millenia mall on one of the days

What about Seaworld's Halloween trick or treat.
I didn't see Epcot. You can't not go to Epcot!

A couple of small suggestions...


Would suggest that you leave Fantasmic for a day later in the holiday, as on Day 2 it is likely that you'll be awake very early due to the time difference.
From your countdown it would appear you are going to arrive on a Thursday... Therefore, the Monday that you have used for shopping would be wisely spent at Magic Kingdom, as it is traditionally the quietest day there. Crystal Palace is excellent, and gets you into the park before everyone elseOtherwise, looks cool! :wavey:

Sound great - enjoy xx

WOW that looks great - and very busy!

Are you doing the fantasmic show again on day 8? if you are you may want to think about how late you will be getting back to the villa by the time the show is finished, you've found your car, then driven home and got everyone to bed.
I only say this because you've got a FULL day at MK on day 9, including having to get there early for a character brekkie. MK can really take it out of you, especially if you had a busy day/late night the evening before, it can be quite a slog going from breakfast right the way through to wishes. If you have got little kids with you they might not last the pace.

Not being critical - just offering an opinion :) am about to put up my skeleton itineraray too for people to help me with, hopefully someone will see something i may have overlooked or crammed together too tightly! I changed quite a lot due to comments from dibbers on our last trip and I am so glad I listened!
I think your spot on with the fact that flexibility is the key ;)

What about Cypress Gardens - they have Phobia for Halloween, not too scary and great fun...;)

Ohhh heck - I may need to do some adjusting then, I have filled in my days going on the busiest day guide in the Brits guide to orlando, it says that Friday is the quietest day in Magic Kingdom and Monday is the busiest?

[poohspals]

Looks ok but i would def. take note of suggestions above and also be aware of opening times and early/late hours when they are produced nearer the time

[crux]

Don't forget to ask for the Ketchup at the Whispering Canyon cafe :D

If you're going to MNSSHP then you might have to go to the Liberty Tree for dinner (and you'll need an ADR) - from what I remember it's the only place open between normal park closing time and the start of MNSSHP.

I can also recommend the Prime Time Cafe at MGM - just don't put your elbows on the table :pgig: The Clam bake at the Beach Club is also good if you like seafood - lots of clams, shrimps, muscles and salmon. There's also chicken, ribs and roast beef. However if you've tried the 'Kitchen Sink' at Beaches and Cream you won't be able to eat another thing for days!

hi :wavey:

Thanks guys for your feedback. May have to change a few things when I can find out times of parks and whether or not BB is going to be open (oh I do hope so).

Thanks again

Don't worry about MNSSHP. The park doesn't close now like it used to. In the past people were herded into one area before the start however last year things changed the park didn't close. It kept going and the people without MNSSHP bands were invitied to leave the park prior to start of MNSSHP. So all the other places to eat will still be open.
