Day 7 - water park / pool day. Evening meal Storybook
Day 8 and day 9 - universal early start to Hard Rock Hotel

The main thing for me that stands out is that you’ve planned too many days around meals. We’ve done a far few more stays than you so it could be just us but we like to have a couple of days with no ties so to speak. So no meals booked, just kind of let’s go with the flow days. Don’t be too worried about not having meals booked you will find something on the day, after two weeks of having to be somewhere to eat on time could be quite frustrating.

Your plan looks pretty good. Since you have been there before you know how much time you want to spend in the parks.

The only things I would reconsider. Chef Mickey's we went for dinner. It was the worst meal of the trip. We won't return until we see an update.

We always do the Fantasmic Dining Package as you get good seats with less queuing.

If Slinky and FOP fastpasses are a priority leave HS/AK days later in the holiday.
You can use the Touring plans fastpass availability tool to check.

Thanks for your replies. I don’t know how to fit 14 meals in with 2 days out without having one a day lol! I don’t even think I will manage that with the qs meals as well.

I agree about chef Mickey I didn’t like it last time much but wanted to start off the holiday at MK seeing the characters. Yes think you are right about fantastic and the FOP I’m not sure my girls will like slinky dog think they will prefer RRR. I do hope the whole Star Wars thing changes sounds a nightmare to get on that!

You’ve booked a few 2 table service credits and as such don’t have any spare credits! In fact I think you’re overspending

[Jaspy]

Yes I know 😹 i meant about having down days with no plans or reservations I don’t see how people do that on the dining plan cause I’m not sure I can eat 2 table services in one day! I’m overspending as personally I didn’t want to return to tusker house and I was hoping to do the fireworks cruise on the last night but don’t think it runs so needed a signature to finish with 😹. Xx

[Jaspy]

I want to do the horse and carriage ride somewhere too🤪

No one has suggested you have 2 separate table services in one day. But you have put down a few restaurant choices that you have to redeem two credits to use. Jiko costs two table service credits, Narcoosees two table service credits, BOG is two and ROL is two credits so for just those 4 restaurants you’ve used 8 out of your 14 credits.

It can get a bit confusing

[Jaspy]

I’m always confused! Thanks for your help!
