Isn't Sunday 12th one of the last F&W days? From memory it ends on the 13th. Since you didn't mention doing F&W that day, I'd probably avoid Epcot as I'd expect it to be rammed with locals getting their last booth runs in.

Otherwise I think it looks good, nice mix of days. I don't think I'd want to do a resort mooch day on my first full day as I'm always excited to get out and about but if it works for you, go for it!

ETA - I missed your BoG breakfast on first read through. I'm guessing it's the only day you could get the ADR, but that's a lot of hopping around that day. I'd probably stay in MK that day (taking advantage of your PPO to jump on 7DMT after breakfast) and move TL to another day.

Son's birthday day looks a bit rushing around too but I'm guessing they're all the things he wants to do? If it were me, I'd move one thing to another day. Probably either TH/AK or MM/HS, depending which is more important to be on that day.

PS - Your Navi reaction made me

Thank you. I know 12th at Epcot will be rammed but it ids the only chance we will have to do the food & wine stalls. I don't want to be in resort either my first day but because our flight is so late at night we ended up going a day early and don't get our car or activate our tickets until the 8th. Glad you think it look pretty good. Its so hard as I kept changing it to fit in other things but I think I am happy now ish.

My only suggestion would be to skip the AllStars on your first night and get a room close to or in the airport. I think you just need a place to sleep so personally, I would do close to the airport and save the drive for the next day.

Thanks, the first night at ASM was booked with our BA flight because we wanted the magical express and then Disney will move our luggage to OKW the next day. We don't get our car until 8th.

You don't have to do Magical Express the day you land. You just have to let them know when and make a reservation. I am also thinking you may be more of a night person than I am. I have landed at nine (without a time change) and been spent. I have probably only once or twice done evening EMH in I don't know how many trips.
