u sure youve been before? because you have to much planned/rushed/packed to enjoy! weve been 5 times and what you are planning dsnt make sence, i presume you only look at/do a few things per park!

[Diesel_Staffie]

Yes i have been before ! but always stayed off site, never had a car and managed to do it all. this time since we are staying onsite i figured it will be easier to do more parks on one day

[Diesel_Staffie]

just bumping - to see if you can help with eating places x

thanks x

Try and make use of the EMH they will be handy for a 7 night stay. You should also do princess and pirate party and combine magic kingdom!
I will be there when you are to!

why do you need to visit so many parks? in such a rush? :confused2
isnt it better to take your time and enjoy?

I think this is the first time OP's nieces are going and they will want to experience everything and they are only going for a week.

[sunsetlakes]

Phew, have a great trip - you certainly have a very packed itenerary, perhaps lunch on the run will be the only option :spin: Hope everyone has a wonderful time.

[shoppingdaydeb]

the family really enjoyed the golden corral they had everything from pizza to steaks on an all u can eat buffet. the rain forest cafe in animal kingdom was a great dining experience if you are rushed and want to eat in the parks also sea fire inn at seaworld was recommended to us, but this shut around 4pm in july best to check closing times here.

[Diesel_Staffie]

Thanks for your replys, yes i know i have jam packed it a bit, but oh well we only live once LOL!

if this is the only way that they get to see everything then so be it! they will have no legs left by the time i finish with them !

we ate at the rainforest cafe in cancun so will defo try there in disney! the theming is excellent!

[shoppingdaydeb]

hope you all have a great time, i am sure you will! we go the 25th may for two weeks with two other families.

all the best

looks really busy but you will have plenty of time to sleep on the plane home! only thing i would query is going to Epcot for fireworks but having dinner at rainforest cafe? is there no where in Epcot or maybe the boardwalk you fancy for eating just to cut down on a wee bit of the travelling back and forth?
have a great time

not too sure as we have only eaten at le cellier, have you had a look on allears.net at the menus? maybe that would help you too :thumbs-up

I hope you can do all you've planned but with youngish children I think it may turn out to be to much and you and they won't enjoy themselves so much. With only a week I would miss out universal parks and either do seaworld or Aquatica but not both in the same day. you will also save some money
Staying onsite is great but it still takes time to get around you need to add in time to wait for bus and then making your way to entrance (bag check) and then to your restaurant before ADR time, this on average takes 3/4 to 1 hour from leaving rooms
I would defo change your Rainforest ADR for an epcot one as suggested
what ever you decide have a great time. :)
