My girlfriend and I will be visiting Disney from January 7th-11th. For both of us, the last time we visited Disney was during the 1990s. We wanted to stay longer than just the 7th to the 11th, but this is the only time we were both able to get off of work at the same time. She tasked me with all of the planning, as I enjoy being "in control" of this sort of thing. I haven't been to Disney in a long time (what seems like forever), so any critiquing of my itinerary is greatly appreciated!
Note: Due to a physical injury, my girlfriend cannot go on any rides with sudden twists/turns/drops. This mainly means roller-coasters and rides such as Tower of Terror.
January 7th
January 11th
I feel like I have gone a bit crazy doing all of this, but since we will only be in the parks for 3.5 days, I want to make sure we spend our time wisely, while still having downtime to relax and enjoy our vacation. Thanks in advance for any advice!
