Hey Ali, looks good!! I know what you mean about having no rest days... we never have time to fit in days for rest, even with 3weeks in Orlando!
Have you been to Restaurant Marrekesh before? We are trying to choose between going there or the Japanese.
Anyways have fun.

No, we didn't do Marrakesh last time, probably looking forward to it most out of all the ADRs :) could you not do a 'light' lunch at one and dinner at the other ? - save having to choose :)

[wilma-bride]

Looks good Ali - we will be at IOA on Monday 16th as well :)

[ollie]

We'll see you at Universal on the 20th (our first full day at RPR) Your Itinerary is looking good.
Marrakesh is a great place to eat, We can recommend the Royal Feast and a caraf of house white.

Ian :wave:

[debs1505]

Seems great, but you are checking out of the RPR fairly early - shame, as you will lose a good half day of FOTL!

[ali-s]

I agree with you Debs, about checking out early, but as we have a full day at IOA earlier in the holiday, plus FOTL for our last 2 days , I am thinking we will get done all we want & hopefully be ready to leave by 4pm :( also IOA closes at 6pm that day, so we are only missing a couple of hours ( mnsshp is booked now anyway :) )

[evieg1983]

thats my kind of holiday!!! nice and busy. i would avoid too many sit down meals in one day because you will be stuffed, or do what somepeople do and have a dinner at one and a pudding at the next. we only made a few ADR's this time as we couldn't take the pace of all the ffod last time!!!

[ali-s]

Thats' my thinking Eve :thumb: Think I'm going for the starters & dessert approach this time - last time we only had 1 dessert in the whole 2 weeks :erm:, Dh, on the other hand can always find room for food. Most of the ADRs are made now ( plus a couple extra :blush: ) but I'd rather have & cancel them, as last time we wasted so much time wandering around trying to find counter service/ restaurants to everyones taste; this way DH & sons have no choice in the matter - they eat where I've booked :d:
