Hi everyone, :wave:
So two days ago my grandpa came over for dinner, and asked if I'd want to go to either Foxwoods or Twin River with him for the weekend. Being that I'm 19 so I can't drink (or gamble) I wasn't too thrilled for the trip, but I told him I'd go anyways, I can't say no to him lol :lol: . After contemplating it he changed his mind to a quick Disney trip. That day, we booked it to AAA and are now planning on going next Sunday to Wednesday (06/26 - 06/29) and are staying at the Contemporary. Clearly I'm very excited
I just have a few questions, because my grandpa has put all of the planning and little details up to me, which is great because he's 86 and I'd like to take care of him, but last time I went to WDW I was only 13, and now I'm only 19 so I'm new to some of these adult planning things lol.
On Sunday, we land in Orlando from Boston at 11:45, and we have dinner reservations at Via Napoli for 6:20. For the first day I was thinking after we check in at the hotel, we can spend the day in Epcot, and I'll probably go to the Magic Kingdom for EMH until close, grandpa probably won't be up for that so I'll be going back to the room with him sometime in between. Any input on this? Sorry if it seems like I'm overplanning I'm just excited with the idea that I finally get to plan the trip
I even made the dinner reservations :lol:
Monday, I was thinking we'd get to the Magic Kingdom right when they open, stay there until our dinner reservations at 7:25 at The Wave (or until Grandpa wants a break, he's in great shape for an 86 year old but I don't want to push him too much), and later that night I can go to EMH at Hollywood Studios.
Tuesday, Animal Kingdom in the morning, and either Epcot or MK that night, probably MK its my Grandpa's favorite, then dinner at Kona Cafe at 7:50.
On Wednesday our flight leaves Orlando at 2:45, and we got a park hopper for that day too just in case, maybe we'll just walk through shops in MK that morning and pick up gifts there.
So just some input on how that little itinerary sounds would be great.
Only like 2 more questions, I promise!--
My grandpa is looking to rent an EVC scooter, (don't worry I swear he's not the type to hit your ankles or run people over) But how does renting them work? We get them at Guest Services when we enter the parks I'm assuming? He'll be fine to walk around the resorts, its just the parks all day that will get to him. Also if for example, he rents one at the Magic Kingdom and then we go right to Epcot from there, would be bring the same scooter or would we rent a different one once in Epcot?
Also with regards to grandpa, like I said, he is in very good shape for an 86 year old but I don't want to push him, any rides that he should definitely not go on? He doesn't have a heart condition that we know of or anything like that, but he is older and I don't want him to be in pain for our trip, so I'm thinking he should stay away from rides like Space Mountain, Dinosaur, etc...?
(1 more question sorry)--
This may be a stupid question but how long should we give ourselves to make dinner reservations? Like if we're in the Magic Kingdom when would be the best time to leave to make 7:25 reservations at the Contemporary?
Thanks so much! Sorry again for the long post :x
