Review/critique my planning so far!

[elishabrid]

Hi everyone, I've been agonising about this all day as our window to book ADRs is coming up soon! We're going in September, two adults. What do you think of our planning so far? -

Tuesday 6th September - Arrive PO Riverside, eat at Disney Springs
Wednesday 7th September – Hollywood Studios,r dinner at 50’s Prime Time Cafe
Thursday 8th September – Animal Kingdom, Cirque Du Soleil, dinner at House of Blues, shopping in DS afterwards
Friday 9th September – Magic Kingdom (Cinderella's Royal Table or Be our Guest or Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner)
Saturday 10th September – Typhoon Lagoon, shopping in evening (outlets, eat off site)
Sunday 11th September – Animal Kingdom (Tusker House breakfast)
Monday 12th September – Hollywood Studios, (Cinderella's Royal Table or Be our Guest or Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner)
Tuesday 13th September – Epcot (take advantage of food and wine!), Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party
Wednesday 14th September – Magic Kingdom (Cinderella's Royal Table or Be our Guest or Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner)
Thursday 15th September – Magic Kingdom (Cinderella's Royal Table or Be our Guest or Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner)
Friday 16th September – Hollywood Studios (Boathouse for dinner)
Saturday 17th September – Magic Kingdom (Cinderella's Royal Table or Be our Guest or Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner)
Sunday 18th September – Animal Kingdom (Chef art Smith's homecomin for dinner)
Monday 19th September – Magic Kingdom

I realise I've put CRT/LTT/BOG down as options on multiple days, we only want to do each restaurant once but I'm trying to maximise the amount of days that it's possible for us to go to them, to increase our chances of getting bookings! (not so much for LTT but the others) if we manage to get all three, the other nights will be replaced with other meals, probably quick service or takeaways

Just some initial thoughts:

10th September - can you avoid a weekend for the water park? With blizzard beach closed I’d imagine it’s going to be even busier on the weekend with the locals going.

12th September - I’ve seen your note about the MK restaurants but you’re at HS that day. Is this intentional for park hopping or a mistake?

Hi, thank you for your reply! We could avoid going to a water park on a weekend, but thought it was maybe good to avoid other parks too on Saturdays? What's our least busy option? And yes it was intentional, there's nowhere apart from 50's Prime Time we reaaally want to eat dinner in at HS (we want to go to Woody's lunchbox and for a ronto wrap, but nothing else really)

Your Cirque du Soliel is booked very early and you may still be struggling with jet lag. A late show in a dark comfyish seat may have you falling asleep.
When we've been the first few days we tend to wake up really early, get out to a park early and by early evening we are done in only fit for the pool and a QS meal.

Our Cirque du Soleil is at 5:30pm, so not too late in the evening, so I think we'll be okay!

13th epcot for food and wine then mnsshp will be a very long day . You can go into MK at 4 for the party and it goes on till after midnight. I'd have a lazy morning and do food and wine a different day. And you wont see much of epcot in half a day. Bin a day at mk and give epcot a full day
