I'm looking for advice in how to maximize our experience. I've been going to Disney since I was very little, and I worked there 4 years ago so I know the parks pretty well. My DF is joining me and my family on a 2.5 day trip to Disney this summer - this will be his FIRST real visit to Disney (he was there when he was 3, I don't count that haha). I have put together an agenda (with plenty of flexibility considering it's Disney in the summer...a lot of variables are at play here!) BUT, due to EMH and ADRs, the only park we will not be at for opening is the MK - which means it's likely he will not get to experience the mountains. We will have time to wait in line for at least one mountain (BTMRR).
My question is, does anyone have any advice for maximizing the experience? Any helpful tips for maybe getting to see BTMRR AND Splash? We have accepted not seeing Space Mountain, but I'd really love for my DF to experience Splash as well. Of course, this will be made a whole lot easier if when we arrive, FPs are available in a reasonable time frame (we need to be back at the resort every day by 3:30 for dinner reservations with my family). I'm not expecting FPs will work that well in our favor, though.
We are energetic people and moving quickly will not bother us - however, I do understand the importance of the small details. While it's impossible to experience all of Disney in one VERY short trip, I'd like for him to see as much as possible. Any help is much appreciated! Also, if anyone has done a short trip like this, how did you see everything you wanted to see?
Details: We won't be in the MK or DAK for opening. DHS and Epcot will have EMH mornings while we are there - we plan to take advantage of that. Also, we will be staying at the GF which means we have monorail access to the MK. We will be arriving Thursday morning and leaving Sunday morning.
Thanks in advance!
