I think it is pretty laid back since I have to work before and after I don't want to be too nuts. My biggest dilema is missing the Fantasmic show a hollywood studios and the all dayer at Epcot.

We are getting sooooo hooked on Disney it's nuts!!!! :thumbsup::mickey::thumbsup::mickey:

Looks super fun!!! :thumbsup: I'm looking forward to doing mini-golf and the lego store with my boys this April. About Fantasmic, I'm not sure you could get there in time with a 7:00 ADR in DTD... Someone may have another opinion on this. Fill us in when you get back!

Thanks for your help!!!! Actually I was thinking of just cancelling or moving the reservations earlier. I just was thinking it was too much for one day with a 7:30 am flight will be up at 4:30 am....I just love that show soooo much. :mickey:

I think your plans look great and I hope you two have a great time. I would just play that first day by ear. If you have the energy to get to Fantasmic!, then great, if not then you have a built in excuse to have to start planning a new trip. Sometimes that first day you are so energized at finally being there that you have super human strength. Whatever happens I am sure you will have a great mother/son trip. :mickey:

Sounds like you have a great trip planned. I would play it be ear for the Fantasmic show. If you guys aren't too tired then go for it. I don't blame you for not wanting to miss it. Good Luck and have a magical trip!

Yes that is what I'm affraid of IT WAS MY FAVORITE thing :thumbsup: but this trip is for my son so I don't know. And no I work for the Federal Government and I won't have enough leave built up by then.

But thanks for your words and everyones words actually! :mickey: It does look like a really fun trip doesn't it. Packing ponchos and tums, advil and bandaids NOTHING is going to stop us now :party:

Looks like you've gotten lots of fun packed into your trip! After a day at the water parks, will you be too tired for a late night at the party?

I think I'd skip Fantasmic since you are also planning to be up the following morning. But who knows, you and your little one might be super energized. If you want to relax and recharge while you're at Epcot, instead of trekking over for mini golf you could let him play in the fountains between the world showcase and future world. We adults grabbed some iced coffee drinks (some grabbed beer) and then we sat and relaxed and watched the kids get soaking wet. Definitely bring a change of clothes and water proof shoes if you do this. The kids played for over an hour and it was very cute to see. I think your plan sounds great. We missed Fantasmic last trip too since everyone was exhausted. I do love this show, but I know there will be a next time. If you are doing this trip for your son, there will probably be some last minute adaptations. My kids will become fascinated with things I never anticipated and will fall sound asleep during a meal. No matter what, I hope you guys have a fabulous time.
