Hi, now I'm really getting into the detailed planning stages. Oh, did I ever remember to tell you all how horrendously detailed my plans for ANYTHING tend to be? :eek:
So here's my plan for Saturday 12th March, this is our first full day. :D
Any thoughts welcome - and yes, I do know that, especially with four kids in tow, it will probably all have to be either scrunched up and chucked in the bin, or at the very best, rejigged significantly. I still like to have a plan in hand, I think it's my version of a security blanket - LOL!

In advance, make PS for dinner at Le Cellier ($100+ for main course plus dessert - $30 per adult, $11 per child, plus tax/tip) OR plan to walk into somewhere like the Electric Umbrella for a counter meal ($8 – 10 each plus tax/tip). (Have to discuss this with DH, see what he thinks. Any opinions welcomed.)
Quick breakfast at villa, or cereal bars, bananas and OJ boxes on the way to Epcot for 8:30 AM!
Grab FPs for Mission Space on the way to Test Track (112cm, so twins may not be able to ride). If not, then child swap, or take them to Space Base playground in / near gift shop.
Ride Mission Space with Fastpass if time works. (If not, head for Body Wars first.)
Grab FPs for Honey I Shrunk the Audience on the way to Spaceship Earth. Then ride Honey I Shrunk the Audience if times work. (If not, head for The Living Seas first.)
(Should be at least 11 AM by now, so World Showcase next.)
Grab FPs for Maelstrom (Norway) then double back to El Rio de Tiempo (Mexico).
Do the Kidcot Fun Stops on the way round (buy Epcot Passports for $10 each), and take in “Reflections of China” and “O Canada” as early as possible.
If any time left, do the “American Adventure” and “Impressions de France” (but queues may be long by now, time could be better spent at Kidcot stations and browsing the lands).
(GO HOME FOR LUNCH AND NAP, returning 5 PM ish.)
Grab FP for whatever ride we most want to do again (from Mission Space, Test Track, Maelstrom and Honey I Shrunk the Audience).
Do Ellen’s Energy Adventure, Cranium Command (and, if not earlier, Body Wars).
Do Journey into Imagination with Figment, (and, if not earlier, the Living Seas).
Innoventions West and East is another possibility, especially Ice Station Cool. Could choose to leave this to a second day in Epcot later in the holiday.
Back into World Showcase for more Kidcot stops, plus, if not earlier, The American Adventure and Impressions de France.
Have dinner at either Le Cellier (if PS booked) or Electric Umbrella.
Watch Illuminations at 9 pm – between Canada and UK, trail leading off to side, trees to sit under, little known path with little or no crowd. (Do NOT try to leave immediately show is over, as crowds make it difficult. Get an icecream or something. QUESTION: Where will still be open?)
