Planning Tips for Your Disney World Trip - Start Here!!!

[crazymomof4]

Last time I did this, I felt so prepared, but it's like starting all over again now.....lol

I feel the same. We've been twice since Genie started but I still haven't gotten the hang of it. Used to consider myself a WDW veteran, but now feel like I got demoted to "newb" in many areas of knowledge. I should just toss in the white towel and let my adult kids handle ALL of that nonsense, and just follow them around. My days of tour-guide-mom have come to a close. Can't say I'm sad about that. LOL

Trying to figure out a schedule. I have convention tickets so I need to make a reservation still. We have 4 day park hoppers. Will be in Orlando Sat the 4th-leaving Friday the 10th. Friday is not a park day either.
Arriving Saturday May 4th, was gonna go to MGM, but my costume broke and I'm not bringing it, so thinking of bagging it and getting supplies. We're staying off site where there's a full kitchen so need to get some food. Also our flight lands at around noon, so earliest I could get to the parks is probably 2ish. I don't think I want to burn a whole park day starting at 2PM, but this is not set in stone.
We're staying one night at the Swan on the Wednesday 8th to get late night at MK, and EE for AK
Sunday is Epcot
Wednesday is gonna be EE at AK and MK late
Thursday MGM and hop wherever.
I'm trying to squeeze in a day at Universal too so I guess that would have to be Monday or Tuesday.
Any advice is appreciated!

The same and that's what I did on our last few trips but I just grabbed 5/16 at Jambo for a solo so I'm on a crash course to figure out Genie+.
