Where do i start!!!!!

[Leanne1977]

I am going mad trying to start an itinery for our family holiday in July 05. We are flying on July 30th for three weeks and are staying in a villa in Kissimmee. There is myself, DH, DS4, DSnearly3 and my niece 13. We plan to do all the disney parks as well as all the parks on the flexi ticket. We are also planning a PS for chef mickeys, crystal palace and dining with scooby doo.

We very much hope to book a speciality cruise at Epcot( keeping fingers crossed for that one!).

We would also like to fit in a few days at the water parks as well as shopping/rest days.

I am getting very confused with the EMH and as the park hours arent even posted on the disney site for July and August yet i am getting into a pickle!!!

Please somebody start me off. Obviously dont want to do much the day we land just a few shopping essentials and back to the villa. Anyone suggest best place for the first main day Sunday 31st July?

If anyone can also recommend any good restaurants for the whole family that would be great too as we plan to eat out a lot!!

I realise this is a long post and i am asking an awful lot of questions but i am getting a bit flustered and i know there are a lot of expert dibbers out there who are just waiting to lend a hand.

Thank you so much, Leanne.:confused:

Hi Leanne

I normally start by making a list of everything we definitely want to do eg how many parks , shopping days. Then i can see how many days that takes up. Then i try and fit them into an itinerary leaving some spaced out rest days and using the quiet day guide for the parks.
A lot of people like to do Seaworld on their first day as it is not as big or overwhelming as some of the others. But then you might want your first park experience to be Magic Kingdom for your kids. we normally spend our first day clothes shopping!!

Hope this helps a little.

I usually make a long list of all the things we want to do, all the parks,restaurants etc. Then I get a large piece of paper (you'll go through reams before the final draft is ready!). The list the days, against which I then put what I would like to do - are you still with me? Then I start checking everywhere for snippets of info.

Also checking which are EMH, tho these are only open to guests that are staying on site. Basically this is how it evolves. Need any further help, PM me.
