Hi everyone! We're two adults (me, 25, and boyfriend, 30 who hasn't been since high school), staying at Pop Century from 10/12-17. I'm a bit of a commando, and he's very laid-back; he has said he's ok with whatever I want to do, but I'm making a real effort to compromise my touring schedule so it feels like a vacation for him too.
That said, the plan is to do rope drop each day and tour until early afternoon (using Ridemax), and then slow way down and spend afternoons and evenings wandering the World Showcase, checking out the Food and Wine Festival, seeing evening entertainment, having a few nice dinners, and attending MNSSHP.
We're pretty sure we'll be on the Quick Service Dining Plan, and pay for our three sit-down dinners out of pocket, but there's still a chance we'll just be out of pocket the whole time.
That said, here's the itinerary:
Monday: Arrive at MCO at 11am, ME to Pop Century. Check in, head to DTD for lunch at Wolfgang Puck Express (tradition for me) and some browsing. Dinner at Artist Point. Slight chance we might try to see Fantasmic or Spectromagic if offered tonight, but my current feeling is that I'd rather miss those shows if necessary in order to have a relaxing arrival day.
Tuesday: Rope drop at Hollywood Studios, afternoon and evening at Epcot (World Showcase only), dinner at F&WF, Illuminations
Wednesday: Rope drop at Magic Kingdom, finish up at 1:30ish and head over to the Poly for some Lapu Lapus. Afternoon break at Pop, dinner (7ish) at California Grill, watching Wishes from the balcony.
Thursday: Rope drop at Animal Kingdom. Finish up at 1:30ish, afternoon break at Pop. dinner at Pop, MNSSHP 7p-midnight.
Friday: Rope drop at Epcot. Future world in the AM, then PM in World Showcase, having lunch at the Food and Wine Fest. Dinner at Jiko, making sure we have time to check out AKL (the resort I can't wait to be able to afford one day)
Saturday: Departure day, ME pickup at 3ish. Plans for today are open- either repeats/things we missed, lazy resort day, water park or maybe a character breakfast. Probably won't make a call about this until we see how the trip is going.
What do you all think?
