Itinerary Thoughts

[rosiela]

I wonder if you could help with my draft itinerary for our trip in May. I have been before (but as a child 20+ years ago!) and my OH hasn’t. As we are staying on site I wanted to do what I remember working well previously, which was hitting the parks in the morning and having a rest in the afternoon before going back out.

Do you think the following plan looks reasonable? I am trying to ensure we get the best out of the holiday but also have a bit of rest time!

Mon 6th - Travel, land early evening, straight to resort and an early night

Tues 7th - Magic Kingdom for opening. Back to resort for early afternoon and pool time. Boat to Disney Springs in evening.

Wed 8th - Hollywood Studios for opening. Again back to hotel/pool in the afternoon, dinner at resort.

Thurs 9th - Animal Kingdom for opening. Hotel early/mid afternoon followed by meal reservation at Boatwrights (at our resort).

Fri 10th - Typhoon Lagoon during the day. Magic Kingdom evening for food and fireworks.

Sat 11th - Universal Studios

Sun 12th - lie in/pool time at hotel. Epcot afternoon and evening for Illuminations.

Mon 13th - Crystal Palace breakfast reservation at Magic Kingdom 9.35. Pool afternoon. Hollywood Studios evening for dinner and Fantasmic.

Tues 14th - lie in/pool time. Be Our Guest lunch reservation at Magic Kingdom, 3pm parade and afternoon there. Quiet evening at resort or visit Disney Springs.

Wed 15th - Islands of Adventure

Thurs 16th - blizzard beach. Evening dinner at Red Lobster.

Fri 17th - Animal Kingdom for opening. Back to hotel mid afternoon. Disney Springs or evening swim at hotel.

Sat 18th - Hollywood studios for opening. Evening - Magic Kingdom for food, shops, fireworks for last time.

Sun 19th - rest morning. Epcot afternoon and evening. Dinner reservation at Teppan Edo then Illuminations.

Mon 20th - home!

I think it looks fine - a pretty good balance. Have a great time!

It seems a good mix, if you are onsite and planning to rope drop have you included any extra magic hour openings?

See more...

Actually that’s a good point, I will need to check!

The only thing I spotted was no evening stuff in Animal Kingdom. The Rivers of Light show is really nice and so is doing an afternoon safari - you get different animals.

Oh and agree check those extra magic hours just to make sure you factor them into the times

Personally I like to save magic kingdom as the last Disney park we go to. But that’s just me and I’m sure you’ll have a fab time. Make sure you FP avatar it was 135 minutes last week when we were there and the park was quiet.

Sounds like a good intinary to me. We haven't done ours yet and we are first timers although I have only been when I was younger. We are also going very similar time to you. Have a lovely time

Too much time spent traveling back to the hotel to sit by the pool for me. I travel 4000 miles and spend a small fortune on park tickets so I want to spend most of the day there.
