September/October - 21 Nights

[byeo]

I’ve spent the best part of a year putting this together, reviewing it, chopping, and changing things to the point where it felt like I was changing plans for the sake of it.

A little bit of background information, we’re two adults and one 4-year-old staying for three weeks. I’ve been before, multiple times, but for my son and fiancée it’ll be their first time in the US.

We initially planned on a standard two weeks but after looking at plans, we soon realised we needed three weeks in Orlando, and even now, it’s not enough. We do plan on hiring a stroller for him even though he’s been out of one for nearly two years, it will be needed, and he will need rest during the park days. I have tried to incorporate plenty of pool time as well as days where we may only spend half a day in the parks and as always, plans can and will change depending on the weather and mood of our son.

Anyway, here’s what I came up with..

Pre-Travel Day – Drop car off at Manchester Airport T2 Meet & Greet – Check-in to Radisson Blu – Virgin Atlantic Twilight Check-in – Uber to Airport Pub for dinner.

Travel Day 1 – Breakfast in T2 somewhere – 11am flight to MCO – Walmart either on way to villa or once we’ve unpacked. See how the little one is and take it from there.

Day 2 – Easy day, Orlando Premium Outlets, Disney Springs to buy some magic bands and see what the day brings.

Day 3 – Morning around pool, Celebration around lunch time, try Downtown Diner, I-Drive/Icon Park in the evening.

Day 4 – Magic Kingdom, see what crowd levels are like, park closes at 5pm for MNSSHP, may have an evening around pool with take out.

Day 5 – EPCOT, Space 220 reservation at 16:30.

Day 6 – Split day at Universal Studios/IOA then Volcano Bay in the afternoon, Old Town in the evening for the classic car cruise.

Day 7 – Relaxing morning around pool, Walmart to top up on supplies, Publix sub for lunch – MNSSHP in the evening.

Day 8 – Pool morning after a potentially late night from the Halloween party. Hollywood Studios late morning/afternoon.

Day 9 – Drive down to Clearwater for the day, dolphin boat tour, Sea Screamer or Little Toot.

Day 10 – Another split day at Universal Studios & IOA, head to Disney Springs for a mooch around in the evening.

Day 11 – Typhoon Lagoon, afternoon spent at Florida Mall/Mall at Millenia.

Day 12 – Animal Kingdom, Rainforest Café reservation at 17:30.

Day 13 – Keke’s for breakfast before heading to Gatorland, evening around pool with a takeout.

Day 14 – Hollywood Studios for the day.

Day 15 – Magic Kingdom – another Walmart trip on way home.

Day 16 – Universal Studios/IOA

Day 17 – Morning at Volcano Bay, afternoon spent shopping at Vineland/Disney Springs.

Day 18 – EPCOT.

Day 19 – Cocoa Beach

Day 20 – Morning around pool, Animal Kingdom at lunchtime.

Day 21 – Magic Kingdom for out last full day.

Day 22 – Be depressed, make sure everything is packed, villa is left as nice as we can make it – Disney Springs to grab some food and kill time – head to MCO for 10pm flight.

Looks good, don't know how much strollers are to rent but they are cheap to buy at Walmart, quite a few for under $50. A few villas we have stayed in have had them there too.

Wekiva springs is a nice place to visit, as is lake Apopka wildlife drive, but that is only open Fri, Sat and Sun.

wow, you've planned loads more than us!

we're doing similar (less parks tho). 3 weeks, but Mr B will be 20 months old...
