Adr planning, Feb 2018 first timers

[gooseygander]

ADR day is tomorrow😄 Does this plan look sensible? We are on the DDP, Staying in ASMusic with 2 kids 5 and 2.5 in tow...
14th flight arrive mid aft-qs at resort
15th MK am and pm CRT 3pm then early bed
16th AK am/pm Tusker House 4pm dinner
17th MK am/pm BOG lunch, Disney springs evening t-Rex 6 ish
18th HS am, break then MK fireworks, 50s prime time for lunch
19th Epcot am/pm akerhus lunch
20th AK am/pm Boma AKL
21st ?HS or Epcot am, break afternoon then Epcot pm for fireworks, coral reef dinner
22 water park the Disney springs pm and house of blues dinner
23rd MK am/pm CP lunch
24th AK am, Sanaa lunch (or ?dinner better?)
25th MK last am

Does this look as sensible plan? How easy is it to get back from AKL to ASM, can we use the bus from AK?

Thanks in advance

Use this for transportation times. You should add bus wait time + security + walk

We had similar ages (4,2) and we did just one park a day and ate in the park. Kept it as simple as possible.
We would arrive at the park whenever with no rope drops. FP+ around 10am. This gave us plenty of time. We went the speed of a 2 year old most days. Who never seen Fireworks for 2 weeks. Always asleep.

Then we would leave when the kids have had enough so they could go swimming in hotel pool.

Strollers+bags etc are a pain getting on/off buses.

You are doing some hopping so be prepared.

I would do lunch (or a very early dinner, if you prefer the dinner menu) for Sanaa, since it has savannah views which are better during daylight. Otherwise I think all your ADR timings look fine, as long as your BOG lunch isn't too late since you haven't specified a time there and your dinner is reasonably early.

You'd have to transfer buses for ASM since you can't walk from AKL to AK, but it's relatively easy. So AKL > AK > ASM. That would be your best bet due to ASM's location, alternative if it's a long wait for the AK bus would be a HS bus and then back from there.

Thanks for all the advice so far. Kids usually eat early at lunch so all out lunches will prob be 12ish.

Not sure what time to go for CRT, how much do people think the time difference affects littlies? we are only going on that date as it's my daughter birthday😄

Hmm, I just realised 3pm is the parade time. They've moved it to 2pm but I'm sure I saw that it's going back to 3 after the holidays. I can't answer how long kids will last on that first day, but I'd shift it to lunch (or 4pm if that's not too late) for that alone because I LOVE the parade.

For the first few days I booked TS lunches as I didn't know what they would be like.

We would have QS dinner so could leave park at any time. Eat wherever.

You are paying at lot of money/2 dining credits for CRT so you want them to enjoy it.

Also by 3pm you are getting cool photos taken and my kids by 3pm were generally covered in whatever ice cream/chocolate.

Remember to get an autograph book before you leave for the park on first day.

Am leaning towards lunch at crt now, good advice re the parade

You have a park every day, I would put a rest day (or two) in especially with the little ones. i think your ADRs look fine.
