I wish this was my holiday, it looks amazing. I am no expert so not qualified to comment on much but we have been to the F & W on a Saturday evening and it was crazy mad busy, like packed to the point it is uncomfortable, if you were able to go on a Sun -Thurs evening it would be a more enjoyable experience IMO

Have a fantastic holiday.

Looks really good 😀

Hmm, good point.

Oh well, we wilk be going to do the rest of park as well. As long as i can get fast passes for Soarin and Mission Space and get my Spaceship Earth/Judy Dench fix, ill put up with the World Showcase being busy, we will no doubt change our plans entirely when we get there anyway

[beswicky2k]

Looks like a great plan x

Have you been before? There's not enough Disney on here for my liking and if you've paid for 14 day tickets, I'd be wanting more use out of them.

Definitely avoid Epcot on a Saturday night unless you enjoy queuing. The F&W festival is rammed.
Why not go to Busch on on of the days when you're staying at Clearwater?
I'm not sure I'd manage Fantasmic on the first day. I would think about having another evening in HS (to see the Star Wars fireworks, if on) and MK (not easy with all the MNSSHP party nights) which is lovely once the sun goes down.

Seaworld will have free trick of treating on that Saturday as it's a Halloween Spooktacular.

Have a great trip.

[AdmiralJack]

Yeah, we've been about 12 times so we dont necessarily need to do everything. Its sometimes hard finding a balance between Disney and not. Personally, id be happy to not go anywhere near Sea World or Aquatica, and i cant really be bothered with Busch Gardens, days id happily fill with something else such as more Disney-and you are right about going to Busch Gardens when in Clearwater, but annoyingly, the ones who actually want to go to Busch Gardens, are also the ones driving, and the ones who dont want to sacrifice a day at the beach in Clearwater, and i suppose, im not the only one going .

Can i just ask - which car rental firm did you use? I'm currently looking for one that will drop the car off to us at our hotel and can't find one.
