Hello! In 18 days, my parents and I will be heading down to WDW for a week! And since I am the resident Disney nerd (though my parents are big fans, planning is the task they leave to me) I have been working on the week's plans. I am not sure if I am being too ambitious because I know I have to be aware of the crowds and insane heat & humidity.
For the record, we have been to Disney about 11 times, so we are quite comfortable with navigating the parks and we are very familiar with the attractions and restaurants.
Aside from the dining reservations, we are pretty flexible with our plans
Sunday 7/19 --- FLIGHT JFK->MCO @ 6:00a
**No park tickets today**
DME to Bay Lake Tower
take boat to WILDERNESS LODGE
2:15 pm – Whispering Canyon Cafe
Monday 7/20 --- MAGIC KINGDOM
8:20 am - The Crystal Palace
10:15 am – 11:15 am Jungle Cruise
11:45 am – 12:45 pm Haunted Mansion
1:15 pm – 2:15 pm Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Tuesday 7/21 --- HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS
9:25 am – 10:25 am Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
10:35 am – 11:35 am Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
12:20 pm – 1:20 pm Star Tours
EPCOT
World Showcase
5:55 pm Le Cellier Steakhouse
Wednesday 7/22 --- My Birthday! --- Four Parks in One Day! ( I just want to get a picture in front of the park icons -- and I couldn't decide which park I wanted to do for my birthday
) This is the day that stresses me out most, I am pretty certain we will be cutting it very close with everything.
****Get at AK at opening 8AM****
ANIMAL KINGDOM
~Expedition Everest
~Kilimanjaro Safaris
HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS (don’t have to do any rides, just to get a picture in front of HTH)
**Take boat from DHS to E, this takes you to the WS entrance of E**

12:40 pm – 1:40 pm Spaceship Earth
1:40 pm - 2:40 pm Soarin’ (This is the priority)
2:40 pm – 3:40 pm Epcot Character Spot

HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS
5:25 pm 50s Prime Time Café
Friday 7/24 --- Magic Kingdom
Saturday 7/25 --- Flight back to JFK, no plans, just tears

So those are the current plans... any suggestions? I figured it wouldn't hurt to have a bunch of WDW pros such as yourselves help me out! Thanks!
