Are you taking Magical Express? My advice would be to carry on some essentials. We've had bad luck with ME - last year it took over 7 hours to get our luggage and I couldn't give DD a bath or get her in her pjs plus it was cold and we didn't have any warm clothes with us. Last month, they lost DH's suitcase but at least I put DD's pjs and underwear (and other essentials) in a carry on. It took 7 hours AGAIN to get our luggage and we didn't get DH's suitcase until 12:30 AM - ugh. So be prepared!
Not sure how long your travel day will be to get to Disney, but I know when we get there we are pretty beat (we fly from Philly). We usually just reserve a nice sit down dinner somewhere and that's it! Have you made reservations for dinner for your first night? I would DEFINITELY do that if you want to have a nice sit down meal.
Have a great trip!!!

We are flying from NM, so other than a 4 hour flight we are ok, no jet lag.

Looks fun to me but I am no expert. We are going to be staying at Port Orleans French Quarter (originally booked POP but had to change long story) and I have yet to work in some time for Downtown Disney. I think it is great that you worked that in and can take the boat over there from Riverside.

Any reason why you aren't going to MGM? I have only blocked out 1/2 day for MGM since I am wanting to spend more time at Epcot and MK (we have never been to Disney world or land!) Just curious.

I am so excited for you your trip is only 2 weeks away!! I am jealous. We don't go until September!

I think you have a great itinerary planned. We'll be arriving on the 4th so we'll just miss each other. I can't believe our trips are so close!


I was wondering about MGM too - I always feel like we 'have' to hit each of the 4 parks but I'm sure you have your reasons LOL


As for last minute advice, remember your sunscreen, hats, sunglasses.

Thanks everyone.


MGM was the one park none of us just HAD to do.
