DH, DS1 (8), and DS2 (6) are all off to WDW for all our very first trip next week (Jan 22). I’m interested in any advice! Touring plans says relatively low crowd levels, but I don’t really know how that translates in real life. No dining plan. I’ve tried to book one sit down meal a day and supplement with a grocery order to keep costs down, though I’m sure we’ll end up doing some quick service. Older DS likes scary rides, younger DS is willing to try some coasters but is much less of a thrill seeker. He’s a total animal lover, so looking forward to AK and parts of Epcot with him.
Current plan:
Stay at POFQ
Day 1: arrive late-afternoon, probably just hang out at the resort or maybe taking the boat to Disney springs
Day 2: MK
ADR at BOG at 8 am. Focus on fantasy land, leave the park in the afternoon, early dinner at t-Rex cafe (4:30) before returning for the fireworks and EMH.
Day 3: AK
Would love to try to get there early and make it on FOP, but we don’t have a FP, so I’m not sure it’s worth it to even try. Thoughts? We have an ADR at Yak&Yeti for lunch but otherwise plans for this day are pretty flexible. I have FPs booked, but touring plans doesn’t indicate they’re really key.
Day 4: MK
Again, pretty flexible plans. Was planning on focusing on Tomorrowland and the area near POC/Jungle Cruise.
Day 5: Epcot /flight home
We only have until about 4pm before having to head to the airport, so I’m thinking we won’t have much time for world showcase unfortunately. Have an ADR for GG for lunch - our only character meal. This will be Saturday, so higher crowds.
What do you think Disney pros? I’ve been using touring plans to get a sense of what we can accomplish each day, but don’t want to we totally inflexible with our plans.
