Just found this thread. We're going Dec 10-15, staying offsite. This is our first visit (we live overseas) except DH who visited from South Africa over 30 years ago as a teenager. We = DS - age 11, DD - age nearly 9, and DS - 5.5, plus myself and DH.
I managed to get a last minute throw-away tent site so I have been able to book FP's for our first 3 days so far. I would love any advice.
Sunday - drive in from Ft. Lauderdale straight to MK. Hope to arrive by 11:30 am. Need to go to guest services and try and arrange a
DAS for myself (I am on chemotherapy for breast cancer - this trip was planned before knowing I had cancer). Our FPs are:
1:15-2:15 Buzz Lightyear
2:15-3:15 Peter Pan's flight
4:00-5:00 Meeting Rapunzel and Tiana (this is is booked for myself and the 2 younger ones)
4:59-5:50 Space Mountain (booked for DH and DS11, I will rider-swap it)
Park closes early for party, so we'll go check in. Whatever else we manage to do in Tomorrowland and Fantasyland is great
Monday - EPCOT
10-11 Mission:Space
11-12 Spaceship Earth
5:15-6:15 FEA
Plan is to do future world in the morning, go back to hotel for a couple hours and then return for our Frozen FP and do the world showcase until Illuminations.
Tuesday - AK
I just managed to get a FP for us all at NRJ at 1:30. Not an ideal time, and FoP was all gone even at 7:00 am. Within 5 minutes all the NRJ were gone too.
So, we have
11-12 EE
1:30-2:30 NRJ
4-5 Kili safari
We have an ADR at Tusker House for 11:40 that I am trying hard to get moved to 10:00 or so. I really want a late breakfast, not early lunch (we keep kosher and cannot eat most of the lunch buffet). My daughter also desperately want to meet Pocahantas and this is the only place to find her (I think)
We'll probably leave the park in the late afternoon. Kids will be tired. And I have no idea how I will manage with everything. Of all the nighttime shows, RoL seemed like something we could skip.
Wednesday- DHS
The most important thing for us here is to get my Star Wars obsessed kids into Jedi Training Academy. We'll be trying for these FPs tomorrow - will go for the usual.
THURSDAY - MK
This is also a party day, and I think we will be staying for the party. Haven't gotten tix yet, but my brother has offered to spoil us a bit, and I think this will be it.
I'll be trying for 7DMT obviously, and then we will probably aim for frontierLand, liberty sq, and that side of the park. If we do end up staying for MVMCP we'll likely take a break for several hours.
Any advice?
