[GinaDisney]

Hi Guys !
Im New to the forum , from Europe so sorry if i am writing all of the wrong terms and words! Lol

I am planning my first wdw vacation for next year end of april 2020 first week of may.
I think we Will book 12 days because we only have 10 days there ( with 2 days back and forth of travelling).

At first i wanted to book pop century with the free breakfast but now i am thinking of PORFR or maybe CBR (my heart Goes out porfr a bit). With quick service dining for free.
We are with 4 adults and 2 kids ( age 6 and 4).

I also Made a sort of park scedule and i hope i did a good one . Love to hear Some tips!!!

First day on friday when we arrive i was just planning a relax day maybe go see Disney springs

Saturday and sunday i think we maybe could best do the water Parks or relax at our own hotel pool since i think the weekends are most crowded at the parks ?
Monday- magic kingdom (with dinner at be our guest)
Tuesday animal kingdom
Wednesday maybe park or waterpark
Thursday epcot
Friday Hollywood studio’s
Another weekend at water parks
Monday magic kingdom again
Tuesday still open
Wednesday last day

Ok i think its a lot of info sorry haha hope to hear if i did my homework Allright

Welcome Gina!

Unless your family are really big water park fans, that’s a lot of water park days! I would instead plan to do a half day or so at a water park and then go over to one of the parks. If this is your first visit, then every park is worth a day and a half at least.

Epcot can be split into two, East and West. That gives time to do some of FW and half of World Showcase one day, and the other half of the park the other day. It also gives you a chance to get an FP for two of the big headline rides. (Fastpasses are tiered in all parks except MK, which limits what rides you can get FPs for).

With the new Star Wars rides open by then, DHS may need two days (or a day and a half), to fit everything in. Especially if you want to see any of the shows.

The time you’re planning to go isn’t the busiest time. And with being able to book three FPs in advance, it means even a weekend is a good day for parks. Otherwise you will be trying to do a lot all in one day. You could book the FPs starting at 4pm to give you lots of time at the water park and then the evening at one of the other parks.

I would consider early morning magic for Hs, that Saves a whole lot of time toward actual doing the park

Don’t forget about the time difference - in the beginning of your trip you’ll probably have no difficulty get up and out the door early, but when my DD was younger if we went directly to Orlando (instead of visiting family first) then I knew better than to plan for a lot of evening activities until she had a few days to adjust to the time.

Thanks for thinking with me !
Thats why i also thought the first 2 days to chill so we all can adjust at the time dont know how my kids are going to react to that we’ll have to wait and see for it ..!
