Thoughts on Itinerary?

[Disney Dining Dad]

My family of four's trip to WDW is now only a week away. I was able to get every LL I wanted, but not knowing the layout of the parks very well, I was hoping for some feedback to determine if I should make any slight modifications or be concerned about any of the timing making me late for a dinner reservation.

Please note that we have the park hopper, dining plan, and are avoiding two-credit table service restaurants. Only part I'm slightly disappointed about is that it won't make sense for the quick service lunch in EPCOT to be at a unique spot inside of World Showcase, so we'll likely have to eat at Sunshine Seasons or Connections Eatery, but it might be okay to keep that meal light between a big breakfast at Akershus and dinner at Steakhouse 71.

Thanks very much.

I don't see any issue with your timing. Just be aware that even with the LL's there are waits in lines but they have been moving people through fairly efficiently. RotR has been spotty for going down. GotG is worth doing again.
The Disney Villains show is nicely done and a fun experience.
We enjoy 1900 Park Fare as a Charactermeal nd have dined there on every trip. The number of characters and the time they spend circulating the room makes it IMHO the best on property.
Chefs De France is an exceptional dining spot.
If you have time at MK and would consider it, try Gastons for a morning meal. The Cinnamon bun or Creme Broulee croissant are both worth the money and filling.

Awesome Planet is in the same building (The Land) as Soarin’ — I’d definitely plan that before or after Soarin’ rather than returning to The Land later.

My family nearly always chooses Sunshine Seasons for QS at EPCOT, which is also in the same pavillion as Soarin' and will be really convenient to eat at right after you enjoy the attraction. I understand what you mean by not having a "unique" spot in WS, however, I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the food at Sunshine Seasons, it isn't the same QS fare you get at any other QS and offers a variety for different types of food. Safe travels, enjoy your trip.

seems pretty solid to me. Only thing missing that's a must do every trip for us is Fantasmic at DHS.
