Just an FYI, we have never really needed fast pass for Barnstromer or Muppets. You might have to watch times on the App, but I feel like those fast passes could be used elsewhere.
Thinking about this further - we might cancel garden grill entirely. We booked that before the food and wine dates were announced. We should be able to find stuff to eat easily those days right, even without reservations? And if all else fails, we can order room service.

Honestly I wouldn’t waste your money with universal because most of those rides are fast roller coasters or fast rides with screens. Or if you really want to go, go at the end of your trip and stay at a resort that comes with the express pass. id skip universal and do magic on sa, animal Sunday, magic monday, pool day Tuesday and Leave the rest the same. You could do a sleep in day for your second magic kingdom day.Time for trip #2. This was supposed to happen this past august... but you know, pandemics and all have a way of ruining plans.
Speaking of which. Originally we were booked for Sunday->Sunday. Now we're Friday Aug 20 -> Friday Aug 27th which means we'll be there over the weekend for the first few days. (Our friends wedding now falls on the 28th so we would like to get back, hopefully quarantine rules are lifted by then)
Boys will be 6 and 9 (almost 10) a the time of the trip. The eldest has already ridden all the disney coasters and loved them except for animal kingdom which we didn't go to last time. Youngest and I do not like coasters except for very tame ones. (Luckily my husband will ride them with my eldest)
We're staying at the Poly which hopefully should have its renovations finished by then.
I'm thinking:
Friday: Flight lands at MCO at 5:20pm - so basically dinner and the pool if we're lucky
Saturday: Animal Kingdom
Sunday: Magic Kingdom
Monday: Pool Day or Universal / Partial Magic Kingdom day?
Tuesday: Pool Day or Universal
Wednesday: Hollywood Studios
Thursday: Epcot
Friday: Pool Day and flight departs at 5pm
Thoughts? I have 1 more day of park tickets I need to put somewhere. I"m thinking Monday maybe should be an extra magic kingdom day?
Then I’d add a day or two at the end of the trip.Well that’s why we want to go to universal. The 9 year old will love the coasters and both boys love Harry Potter. But... I’m waiting to book that.
Who knows what is going to look in August? saturdays can be busy, but I think it’s worse in the fall with the Halloween parties. Personally if you want to do both, I’d add teo days and fly home Saturday or Sunday to have extra time. Plus you get the express pass if you stsy at universal and it will allow you to do more, just my opinionBut also. We love the poly and I don’t want to have to pack and relocate all our stuff to universal.
I heard MK was not great on Saturdays? But I could swap that and the animal kingdom day. We’d like 2 MK days as it’s kinda big and it’s so easy to go back and forth from the Poly there.
Anyway thoughts? Any horrible mistakes? We'll be bringing an umbrella stroller for the 3 year old. Some of these reservation times are weird because I really want to do that thing (like slinky dog dash) but great time slots weren't available.
