Going to stay at Yacht Club on August 6th for one night before taking the rest of our trip to the Sheraton Vistana Resort. We are getting a "free" timeshare week from the in-laws, so I couldn't pass up that price. It's me, DH, DD (17), DS (14), DS (13). It's our second time at Disney, first time on property stay. We haven't been in 10 YEARS!! We have a simple plan in place for now, just getting started with dates set and everything. What do you think? We really want to do MK, EPCOT, and UNIVERSAL. I'm planning my days by green lights on crowd levels on Undercover Tourist. My DD claims she dislikes theme parks now, so we have a reluctant teenager on our hands, and it's going to be hot in August, so I tried to work in some flexible days for other activities. I'm not sure if DHS or AK would be a hit.
Sat.
Flying in, get rental car, make a stop on the way to Yacht Club (Garden View room)
Stormalong Bay for the afternoon
ADR 5:30 Cape May Café Buffet
Disney Springs for the evening after dinner
9:00 Watch Illuminations from the beach/lighthouse area
ADR 9:40 Beaches & Cream Soda Shop (teenagers are always hungry)
Sun.
ADR 7:30 Cape May Character Breakfast
EPCOT
ADR 1:15 Coral Reef
EPCOT 'til we drop
Do we need a dinner ADR, or just eat offsite?
We can leave our car at YC after checkout all day, right?
We have never been to Epcot, so we don't know how long it will take for teens to enjoy this park.
Mon.
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
Tues.
Resort time in the morning, let teens sleep in, and more Universal for the afternoon/evening (right now it's buy 2 get one day free)
Wed.
Cocoa Beach, Kennedy Space Center (never been here, so advice is welcome)
Thurs.
ADR 7:40 Chef Mickey's (may not keep this as we already did Cape May and teenagers don't like getting up early; will it make us late for rope drop?)
MAGIC KINGDOM
ADR 11:10 Be Our Guest
ADR 6:10 Liberty Tree Tavern
Friday
Bass Fishing Or Gatorland, other Orlando activities (recommendations?)
+ resort time
Sat.
UNIVERSAL ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE
Sun.
Depart
I obviously have a lot more planning to do, but this is the basic sketch so far. We want to make the most of our stay at Yacht Club (on my birthday!) while we can.
