Okay, so remember how I said I get panic attacks? I am hovering on the brink of giving myself a panic attack over the potential for having a panic attack later on. (No, really. I'm super special in the head.)
The updated crowd predictor on Touring Plans has made me shuffle a few things. While I have been avoiding EMH, the current predictors have me in DHS on a day that's an 8. I can't handle an 8. On the other hand, my adjacent non-park day... is a 4. Even with EMH it's only a 4 and that seems like a difference worth a little hassle.
So... the new plan involves swapping around stuff on Days 4, 5 and 7. Day 5 becomes DHS and day 4 becomes Disney Springs. Day 8 has minor adjustments but it mostly works. We *may* lose one Disney Springs meal and we decided that we'd rather ensure Raglan Road and risk T-rex, since we have Landry's Club and it makes T-Rex easier to do as a walk up.
The places I have changes or am worried about are in blue. I'm edgy about the lack of breakfast plans which may be silly.
No Really, I'm Going To Get My Act Together... Hoop-Dee-Doo Debut.
So here's the NEW NEW NEW plan:
Flying out of SMF.
We land at MCO at 8:10PM. We'll do dinner at the POR food court and crash and get a fresh start the next day.

Breakfast at the food court
Test Track 10:05-11:05
Spaceship Earth 11:05-12:05
Chefs De France 1:00 Akershus bit the dust. We determined that it was doubling up on princesses we'd see elsewhere and Boy wanted CdF when he looked at the options. Crossing my fingers that it isn't too fancy for Cupcake.
Meet the Disney Pals 2:20-3:30
Rose and Crown 7:15
Illuminations 9:00
Day Two - Magic Kingdom 1/7 9-8

Space, Big Thunder and Splash Mountains. FP+ for 10, 11 and 12.
CRT 1:10 for the ladies
Crystal Palace 1:10 for the gentlemen I want so many pictures...
3 o’clock parade 3:00
(We may try for a same day FP. You never know...)

Tusker House Breakfast- 8:00
Safari 10:15
Expedition Everest 11:45

Festival of the Lion King 1:30
Flights of Wonder at some point. Cupcake is all about birds.
Sanaa Dinner 5:30
Day Four - Non-Park day 1/9
Breakfast up in the air (Boardwalk in the morning? Skip it and have a snack?)
Splitsville (with bowling- early lunch) 11:00
Characters In Flight
Pick a Pearl
Possibly some pool time
Captain's Grille 8:00 or 6:25 (I currently have both ADRs.)

Totally unsure about dinner

Breakfast flexible
Turtle Talk 10
Mission Space 11:00

Star Tours 1ish
Fantasmic 7:00
Day Eight - Non-Park 1/13

Explore the Poly, check out the beach, maybe ride the monorail around. (I kinda want to see the station inside the Contemporary. It's a thing, okay?)
Raglan Road 1:00
HoopDeeDoo Revue 6:15
Day Nine - Magic Kingdom 1/14 9-8
Pre-opening BoG 8:00!
7 Dwarves 10ish
Enchanted Tales/Pirates 11:15
If the new restaurant in Adventureland is open I'm shooting for that.
Anna and Elsa/ Jungle Cruise 1:30
(Another chance to try for the parade at 3:00 if we haven't managed it yet.)
Spirit of Aloha 5:15
Wishes Fireworks from Poly beach at 8 PM?
Day Ten - Animal Kingdom 1/15 9-5
Crystal Palace 8:20
Safari 10:00-11:00
Dinosaur 11:05
Yak and Yeti (12:00) we may dump this.
Expedition Everest 1:50
Boatwrights 6:35
Honestly, I'm tempted to ditch AK partway through this day and go elsewhere. We've cancelled RFC for dinner, so sticking around the area is no longer a thing.
**Maybe we'll get on EE earlier, ditch Yak and Yeti and head over to T-Rex.
MDE at 8 am, so the departure morning isn't too painful, but a quick breakfast and a fond goodbye.
