Sounds & looks good to me..I take it your leaving your house at 4.00am for a 10.30am flight from Manchester or UK somewhere.?Are you arriving at MCO or SFD.? If you've got a hire car,then travel time from MCO to Disney should be about 40 mins max ( depending on traffic ) or 70 mins from SFD.The coach transfer usually a little longer,( waits for other passengers and does a tour of other Disney resorts ) One thing Ive noticed.If am flying due West,I never get jet lagged,but flying back East,I'am goosed.:confused: Anyway,it looks good to me.enjoy.;)

I am assuming that you've been before by the laid back touring plan. My only suggestion is to use early hours on day three when you go to MK or any of the parks after that day. You'll probably need the first day to get used to the time change.

Nope first time! But im chilled person go with the flow read loads got passporter which has touring guide in as well. Plus my friend has been lots and her grandchild worked there so had lots of advice. thats why first day we thought do mk go on few things work out where thigns are and see how the jet lag goes.

And yes have looked for EMH when we going to parks. Also we have 3 spare days to try and fit anything else in. Slowly coming together!

Good for you. Prior knowledge will help you have a magical time. It's great you are listening to the friend.
Passporter was my favorite along with the other guides. I couldn't get enough info. I wanted to know as much as possible before I went. It made for a smooth first trip.

Ok,but I think you've got your flying times wrong.Unless you've got a stop.From London to Sanford,flying time should be approx 8 hrs.( we done Glasgow to Sanford last year in 7 hrs 50mins ) So departing at at 10.30am you should be touching down at 1.30 PM ( taking away 5 hour difference ) and its very quick getting your cases and onto the coach.All going well you should be at PORS by 3.00pm / 3.30pm..

Have checked flight times from London to Orlando and for some strange reason there quoting 9hrs 55 mins.??? Our flight time from Glasgow to Orlando is 9 hrs 15 mins.But we have always made it quicker due to the tail wind.Like I said last year our pilot announced a flight time of 7hrs 45 mins,and was only 5 mins out.I think the Scottish aviation fuel has a higher alcohol volume in it.;) and Thats why we are quicker.

Your not going to believe this,but it's true.As a tradition,not one alcoholic drink touches my lips until that big bird is in the sky.Then it's cognac on the rocks,several mind you.I was once 7 hours delayed going to the Canaries,the flight eventually took off at 11.00pm and 80% of the passengers were sloshed due to the free drink they were given at the airport lounge.Me,I was sober as a judge,and the hostess had to serve me my brandies as the rest of the passengers were fast asleep.
