Opinions on my daily plans/FP times

[DisneyDreamer08]

Hi everyone. Our FP window opens on Monday. I *think* I have our daily plans completed. I like to map out a plan ahead of time so we don't waste time criss crossing the park and/or looking at a map trying to decide what to do next. I've been having some trouble deciding on specific times for our FPs so I was hoping I could get some opinions?
This trip is myself, husband, 5 year old daughter, 1 year old daughter, and my parents. Some of our days are short on purpose to accommodate pool time. We have the QS dining plan, and BTMRR and Dinosaur are closed while we are there.
Here is what I have:

World Showcase for lunch and to finish up anything from our previous Epcot day
FP 3- Journey into Imagination @ 3pm on our way out?

Saturday- this is our last day, I am not scheduling anything this day so we can go back and do anything we missed, didn't have time for, or simply want to do again. DME will be picking us up around 3:30pm

If you read alllllll of this- thanks so much!!!

I think it sounds like a good plan. My only suggestion would be to consider not using the FP for Nemo at AK and book a FP for the safari in the afternoon. We have often done a standby safari in the morning before the lines get long and then done it again with a FP later in the day. You see different animals and different activity levels depending on the time of day and you really don't need a FP for Nemo.

That's a great idea, thanks. Yeah we had a FP last time for both Nemo & Lion King and it ended up being pretty useless. Both theaters weren't full. Other than Everest & Dinosaur (if it was open) there isn't much you need a FP for at AK. Unless you going during a super busy time of course.

I think your plans look amazing! I would just remember to be flexible while there. Don't be disappointed if you don't get to everything on your list, but it does look like a great plan!

Thank you! On our last trip, our daughter was 3 (almost 4) so there were definitely times we had to alter our plans I like having a game plan though (you kind of have to now anyway with FP+), it helps with the flow of the day and it was helpful to pull out the list throughout the day and cross things off while deciding what else we could do. Then at the end of the day, we could look at the list to help with our plan for the rest of the week.

Sounds like you know EXACTLY what you're doing! Good for you!! We usually plan our FP and then wing it, but I like having a better idea of what we're going to do AROUND the FP and then just being flexible, which is exactly what you're going to do! Thanks for that. Maybe I'll be a little bit more specific planning out our non-FP rides for our next trip just as a formality! Lol
