We are days from our upcoming and 8th trip to the
Walt Disney World Resort. Anticipation
is mounting!
I revealed the completed touring plan/schedule to the family a few
days ago. All were in agreement. Good!
Day 1: This is the
day we disembark from the Dream.
Boo-hoo, Boo-hoo. We are headed
to our resort, Port Orleans French Quarter.
Plan for the day: swimming,
laundry, and lunch. This will be the first
time we’ve ever done laundry at the World.
I’m prepped for the adventure.
Then it’s off to Hollywood Studios for a Fantasmic Dining Package at
Mama Melrose and a reserved seat at the 9:00 showing of Fantasmic. (There’s a 10:30 showing and the park is open
late—we’ll see what happens!)
Day 2: Animal Kingdom
with Extra Magic Hours in the morning.
This means that the park opens one hour early for Walt Disney World
Resort guests. Most touring plans tell
guests to avoid parks during Extra Magic Hours UNLESS you are certain you can
be at the park when it opens. Yep, we
can! Kali, Everest, Kilimanjaro,
Festival of Lion King, Dinosaur, Boneyard, and maybe Nemo the Musical are on
our list for the day. Where or where to
have lunch? Our fav is Flame Tree BBQ,
but we may try Yak and Yeti counter service.
We’ve eaten at Pizzafari before.
Not sure how long we will stay at Animal Kingdom. We sometimes make it to the 3:45 Jungle
Jammin’ Parade and sometimes we don’t.
We’ll play it by ear. Anyway,
dinner at ‘Ohana’s! Followed by parades
and fireworks at the Magic
Kingdom
Day 3: Magic Kingdom Crystal Palace
Day 4: Hollywood Studios!
Toy Story Mania! No ADR’s,
either! It’s nice to have a day like
that in your schedule so your note worried about making it somewhere on
time. We may return to our resort for
dinner or head to Downtown Disney. It’s
great to have some flexibility in the plan.
Day 5: EPCOT! Believe it or not, this is one of our
favorite parks. Test Track, Soarin’,
Nemo, and characters! We have a lunch
ressie for Coral Reef and a dinner ressie for Restaurant Marrakesh in Morocco
Day 6: The plan is to
start the day at Studios—Toy Story Mania and characters! Then park hop to EPCOT using the boat that
takes guest from Studios to the International Gateway at EPCOT. Leaving after the 3:00 “parade of sorts” at
Studios makes for a good break.
Characters abound in World Showcase in the afternoon and we have a
dinner ADR for Teppan Edo in Japan Magic Kingdom
Day 7: Flying
home. Our flight is not until the middle
of the afternoon, which is a welcome change from our “get on the Magical
Express at 4:00 am” flights.

Sounds like great plans! Will you write a TR when you get back? If so can you post the link! Would love to hear about your Dream cruise and Disney World vacation!
ReplyDeleteMomto1: You bet we will do a trip report when we return. Most likely, several! Thanks for asking and thanks for reading and following!
ReplyDeleteGet a FP for Toy Story Mania early when we were in line last summer several teens were letting their friends cut in line often and it was about an hour and a half wait, probably thanks to texting, several people noticed but no CM's put a stop to it surprisingly. Same thing at Test Track :(
ReplyDeleteI agree, Fastpasses for Toy Story Mania are a must. Using FP we were able to ride 5 times one day!
ReplyDeleteTest Track--we ride it first with FP in our hands for Soarin.
