Hey Everyone!

I know I probably over-plan BUT just thought I might get some feedback from you all (who have infinately greater knowledge of all of this than I). Myself (and my guide dog), and my parents (Mom tires easily....thus the ECV) are flying in to MCO at 10:52am and planning to use ME to get to our hotel (Pop Century). I have written up our plan for that day, and would really love some feedback to know if I am missing something important or (more importantly) if I am trying to have us do too much (I really just want to enjoy this trip and NOT be frusterated! :-)

Note: the movies in the countries are listed for informational purposes only I have NO intention of watching them. I have mostly listed them in case Mom gets tired and wants to sit for a while (in which case, I will probably hang out with "Jolene" and we will just "browse" or shop in the country.

Let me know what you think!

It's much more detailed than I ever plan. It does sound kind of aggressive to me as it will probably be at least 1pm before you arrive at Epcot. I also don't see any mention of eating, and I'm sure that would be a priority for me. Also, Epcot is very spread out, so it will take you a lot of time to get from one place to the next.

I'm sure others will be along with more comments soon.

The only real problem that I see is the FP's for Soarin...unless it has changed in the last couple of months, the passes are usually gone by late to mid morning. Even though yopu have done a great job of planning....be flexible. If you cannot do some of the things on your list, try something else. I would also give yourself several minutes between countries as you have travel time. You are doing in a half day, the things we usually take all day to do. Most of all, have fun!!!
