Any advice/opinions for an upcoming trip in 2014.

I guess ill start with a little backstory. I've been to wdw 3 times and this will be my 4th, this trip is different then the other times i've went. My friend is getting married next year and so we were trying to come up with something cheap to do for 9 days, so since i get into wdw free and can get up to 3 people free with me we thought wdw. Then we got our guest list together and now there are 8 guys going in January for his last guys trip i guess you can say. So since i've been and my co worker (whose invited) have been a lot we all sat down and this is what we came up with for the trip.

Side notes. Since im a CM we cant book Fastpass+, but we do get a MagicBand for out CM dinning plan, and room.

we leave Sunday from CA at 930am. so we figured that day was a wash and to just start fresh in them morning.

Monday Animal Kingdom, with Breakfast at Tusker House at 945am, other meals will be Quick Service.
Tuesday Epcot, with Lunch at 12 at Nine Dragons, other meals with be Quick Service.
Wednesday Universal/IOA (we really wanna see the The Simpsons/Harry Potter)
Thursday Magic Kingdom, With Dinner at 530 at Be Our Guest, Other meals are Quick Service
Friday Hollywood Studios, Lunch at 1145 at 50's Prime Time Cafe, Dinner at 7 at Mama Melrose.
Saturday Seeing things we missed then Downtown Disney, Dinner at Spiltsville + bowling
Sunday nothing planned then Dinner at 715 at Ohana.
Monday we go to a park everyone agrees we should do again before we leave. lunch is a RSVP just not sure which restaurant we want to make it our last before our flight at 9pm.

so any suggestions a group of guys should try to do while were there that maybe i missed. 6 have never been before.

How old r u guys? I would suggest lots of beer how do the other guys feel about going there having never been before? I think they could end up either loving it or hating it...

Age range is 27-33, the odd thing is were not big drinkers hah. I figure when were in dtd on saturday night is when the drinking would prolly be out of hand. Everyone so far is pretty excited to be going. The soon to be groom is just really taken back by all of us planning it out for him so he just goes and enjoys it. I just didnt know if anyone knew of something there that would be cool to do for the type of trip were taking.

What about Disney Quest, or mini-golf for a different experience. Games for the guys and it can be fun without a lot of drinking.

Ill look into Disney Quest, the few times i've been with my wife and friends we normally skip it.

I haven't been there in a long time either because we don't get the water parks and more feature on our tickets anymore. But it was fun, I remember there was a bumper car kind of thing where you could shoot balls at the same time. I thought guys might be into that, my husband loved that!

Im looking it up right now.. and it looks like something we could do on our dtd day on saturday. i wonder if my CM discount is decent enough there.

Are you golfers? I know if my husband went with a bunch of guys, they'd want to go golfing and Disney does rent clubs (maybe even for free? Can't remember..) And they have pretty good deals on golfing if I'm remembering correctly.

I'm honestly a little surprised you aren't eating at Epcot more? I know my brother and DH would only eat at Epcot given the option. In fact, most trips we have to get Park hoppers so that we can end up back at Epcot for dinner!

We are definitely not golfers, shoot we can barely bowl without falling. The dining plan there giving us is 1 table, 1 quick, 1 snack.. We wanted to eat at every park and every area we go to. If we weren't doing universal we prolly would eat more at Epcot. It came down to nine dragons, San angel, and Germany buffet for our Tuesday meals. So we picked nine dragons and San angel Cantina as a compromise. I was out voted on Germany oh well maybe next trip. The tusker house breakfast should be interesting since most the guys going aren't fans of characters but I talked them into since I love eating there. We came up with this plan over like 4 meet ups that lasted hours.
