Nov-Dec Trip Itinerary

Third time going to Orlando, first time staying on-site so looking for any comments/feedback on plans so far.

We are 2 adults with no children, staying in Coronado Springs for 14 nights with 1 night at All-Star Music at the end prior to boarding the Disney Wish. We have the $850 dining gift card which we plan to use towards dinners.

We don't really fuss about what we eat for lunch so are happy to just decide on the day. We are trying to leave the thanksgiving period light on parks to avoid crowds as much as possible. and trying to keep all chrstmas activities until the very end of the holiday which may seem jam-packed, but we are happy with this approach as we have a cruise afterwards to chill on.

Day 1 - Thu 17th Nov


Arrive - check-in - Walmart/Target trip - Eat at Coronado Springs


Day 2 - Fri 18th Nov


Magic Kingdom - Crystal Palace dinner

We’re also 2 adults staying in the Gran Destino Tower at the same time - see you there

Plan looks good. I agree about doing less park time around thanksgiving but I’d still make park reservations just in case you want to pop in.

I’d also probably plan some more park hopping. For us, the beauty of staying onsite is going to one park in the morning, having a break and then going back to another for the evening - something that’s more difficult when staying offsite. It really breaks up the day and we enjoy the holiday more

Will be our first on-site stay, so looking forward to it!

We have parks booked for every day, so no worries there!

Will keep your advice about park hopping, it's not something we've really considered much

Sounds good! 😊

I’d do Polite Pig rather than Chicken Guy but that’s just preference.

Take some time to see the gingerbread houses in the resorts while you’re resort hopping, they’re spectacular.

I’d also hold off on planning the Candlelight Processional until they’d announced the speakers, we saw Neil Patrick Harris in December 2019, I’d want to opt for someone like him again as there we’re people we hadn’t heard of, plus I’m a big fan of his & he was fantastic.

Enjoy, see you on The Wish! 😊

We are flying indirect for Glasgow via LHR - our flight from LHR-MCO was amended last week to depart before our GLA-LHR flight lands, so we are now travelling to LHR the night before

We love the gingerbread houses so will definitely be squeezing them in!

We saw Whoopi Goldberg back in 2019 and absolutely loved her narration, waiting patiently for the calendar to come out so we can see who's narrating each night, hoping the night we have provisionally pencilled in matches up with someone we like - I hate having to book park days without this information and then having to re-jig the schedule!
