My fiance and myself will be honeymooning at Disney World from the Tuesday, 5th May until Sunday, 10th this year. We love thrill rides and are also not staying at a Disney resort. I would really love some pro thoughts on the itinerary I’ve devised (after spending many hours reading the Guide and looking at crowd levels) to let me know if it’s any good
Tuesday, 5th May
Universal Studios, full day. This is our arrival day though, so we will probably only be able to get into the park at around 10am. Touringplans lists this as 5/10 crowd level. Might check out CityWalk and have dinner after the park closes.
Wednesday, 6th May
Magic Kingdom, full day. We have a reservation at Be Our Guest at 7:45pm. This is 4/10 crowd level day with no EMH.
Thursday, 7th May
Epcot, full day. Listed as 3/10 crowd level. No EMH. Booked an ADR for Coral Reef Restaurant, 7pm. Thinking of exploring the Boardwalk after the park closes.
Friday, 8th May
Universal’s Islands of Adventure, full day. Listed as 6/10 crowd level. Since the park closes early, I’ve booked a reservation at T-Rex for dinner at Downtown Disney and would like to do some exploring there.
Saturday, 9th May
Hollywood Studios, full day. We have a Star Wars breakfast at Sci-Fi. Listed as a 4/10 crowd level. This does have a morning EMH. Have also booked a Fantasmic! Dinner Package at the Hollywood Brown Derby.
Sunday, 10th May
Magic Kingdom, half day. Our flight to London is at 17:35 so will need to leave the park at around 14:00 to get to the airport.
I have not included Animal Kingdom in our itinerary as I see that the main attraction is the safari. We live in South Africa and go on safaris often, so this doesn’t really hold much appeal. Plus I know that MK is impossible to do in one day so I’d love the opportunity to go in a second time.
The one thing I’ve thought of changing is to switch Epcot and Hollywood Studios around, since HS has the EMH on Saturday which I’d like to avoid. But Epcot is listed as a 5/10 on the Saturday, and HS a 4/10. Would I better off swapping - which park is likely to be more crowded on the Saturday?
Thanks so much,
Amy
