Making the most of 5 days on site DDP

[jstephens]

Hi Everyone,

1st time on site for us at AKL for 5 days with the DDP. Last time (2016) was all off site in villa.

Just trying to plan out 1st 5 days and struggling a little.

Sat 25/7 EMH is at AK 8AM-9AM
Sun 26/7 EMH is at HS 8AM-9AM
Mon 27/7 EMH is at AK 8AM-9AM
Tues 28/7 EMH is at EPCOT 9PM-11PM
Wed 29/7 EMH is at MK 10PM - 12AM

Pririty rides
Flight Of Passage - AK
Rise of Resistance - HS
Mine Train - MK
Slinky DOG - HS

Pririty ADR's
BOG - MK probably lunch
SCI-FI dine in HS - Lunch
Rivers Of Light Dessert Party - AK
thats as far as I've got! still researching adr's

How would you organise these days? Going on the busy day guide doesn't work with the EMH so just not sure.

Many Thanks!

The busy day Guide will never recommend EMH days as people staying off site can’t use them. I like morning EMH as you can get a lot done by mid afternoon, fo back to the hotel for a swim then go out again in the evening. However I wouldn’t do them 5 consecutive days. I’d use the 26, 27 and 29 EMH above do Epcot on 25 normal opening hours and choose your favourite park on the remaining day.

I agree with Scooby Dooby that early extra magic hours are useful. I like to look at both Dibbs busy day guide and Touring Plans subscription website. Consequently one plan might be:

Sat 25/7 MK (touring plans says a 5 and they don't put it below a 5 at any point in your time frame). If you get a BOG breakfast booked before park opening it might help you get on 7 dwarves without a fastpass? However Lunch food may be better?
Sun 26/7 Early EMH at HS (touring plans says a 6 and they don't put it below a 6 at any point in your time frame) Scifi diner here or go over to Boardwalk / EPCOT for wider choice?
Mon 27/7 Early EMH at AK ( touring plans says a 7 but they don't put it below a 5 at any point in your time frame)
Tues 28/7 HS repeated because two of your priority rides are here (touring plans says a 6 and they don't put it below a 6 at any point in your time frame)Scifi diner here or go over to Boardwalk / EPCOT for wider choice?
Wed 29/7 EPCOT ( touring plans says a 3 and they don't put it below a 3 at any point in your time frame )
Thurs 30/7 Pool/resort time. AK later in day( touring plans says a 5 and they don't put it below a 5 at any point in your time frame) see Rivers of Light.
