Only about 10 weeks to go until our Disney Trip! Ours is a Mother/Daughter trip (she'll be months shy of 18). Our main objectives are nice food (vegetarian/vegan), Star Wars and the World Showcase at Epcot. We will have access to a car, but my track record of driving around disney has not been great (I've gotten turned around and "lost" more than once even with the help of Google Maps).
We're planning a total of 3 days at WDW with a 2 Day Park Hopper ticket. The main thing I'm struggling with is how to get from point A to point B...whether Disney Transportation is an option or if driving is our only option.
Day 1 HS/Explore Wilderness Lodge-Fort Wilderness/Epcot Preview
8:00 - 8:30 Hotel Check-in (POR)
8:30 - 9:00 Travel to HS
9:00 - 10:30 HS: Star Wars Launch Bay/Star Tours
10:30 - 11:00 Walk to Beaches & Cream
11:00 - 12:00 Beaches & Cream (11:05 res)
12:00 - 2:30 Hollywood Studios
2:30 - 3:15 Walk to Boardwalk Resort/Take Bus to MK
3:15 - 3:45 Ferry to Wilderness Lodge
3:45 - 5:15 Explore Wilderness Lodge/Salaat
5:15 - 5:45 Walk to Fort Wilderness
5:45 - 6:55 Explore Fort Wilderness
7:05 - 9:00 Dinner @ Trail’s End
9:00 - 9:45 Bus to Epcot
9:45 - 11:30 World Showcase
11:30 - 12:30 Bus to Resort (POR)
Would you drive to HS or take the bus considering that we're planning to have dinner at the Trail's End and want to take the ferry from Magic Kindom? With the park open until 11pm will it be easy to catch a bus from Ft. Wilderness to Epcot? If our car is at HS will it be a problem for it to be there until 11:30 or so even though that park closes at 9pm?
Day 2 Epcot/HS
7:00 - 7:15 Travel POR to Boardwalk Bakery
7:15 - 8:15 Boardwalk Bakery ($20)
8:15 - 9:00 Wait for Rope Drop - International Gateway
9:00 - 12:00 Future World
12:00 - 1:00 World Showcase or HS
1:00 - 1:30 Walk to Sci-Fi Drive-In
1:30 - 3:00 Sci-Fi Drive-in
3:00 - 5:30 HS or Epcot (move car elsewhere if necessary)
5:30 - 7:45 World Showcase
7:45 - 9:30 Tokyo Dining
9:30 - 11:00 Magic Kingdom or Dessert @ Ample Hills & Bus to POR
Our first challenge is getting to the Boardwalk early enough to have breakfast there before rope drop. We can drive, but if we finish up our day in MK, getting back to our car at HS could be an issue.
Is it even feasible to get to Magic Kingdom after dinner at Epcot? We should be finished around 9:00pm -- if are car is parked at Epcot or HS, would we be able to get back to it using Disney transportation (both parks close before MK)? Should we take the car back to the hotel in the middle of the day and bus it back to the park?
Day 3 Explore Monorail Resorts/Lunch @ Tea Room
9:30 - 10:00 Check Out
10:00 -10:30 Bus to MK
10:30 - 11:30 Explore Polynesian & Grand Floridian
11:30 - 2:00 12:05 Garden View Tearoom
2:00 - 2:30 Back to POR
2:30 - Depart for Home
