A little background...
Dh, myself, dd (5) and ds (7) are disjunkies - we go almost every year. We are booked on a bouceback from Aug. 19-29th.
This year my parents, my sister and her boyfriend and my brother and his girlfriend are coming with us from the 19th-24th. They want to visit each park and a waterpark AND DTD- and all the planning has been left to me - I don't mind at all, but I am starting to doubt my choices (performance anxiety?
)
First day - we land at 11:00 - we'll head to the resort, freshen up and head to MK for a couple of hours. I have Ohanas at 7:15. I figure that with that timing we'll either just catch wishes or we can watch it from the beach (Ohanas is always behind - I figure we won't be seated right away)
Second day - Epcot - Teppan Edo - 6:10. I'm not worried about this one.
Third day - AK / waterpark. I have Maya Grill booked tonight late - 7:30. Because we're planning AKL and the WP today, I figured we'd just want to eat at the hotel (we're staying at CSR) The food is good there - we've eaten a few times - but nothing special, kwim?
Fourth day - MGM - dinner at Mama Melroses 4:20 on a Fantastic package. This one I am VERY nervous about - I booked it because of the Fantasmic option, but the reviews have been atrocious!!! It is worth it for the preferred seating for fantasmic?
Fifth day - MK - lunch at CP 12:10. This is booked basically b/c if they wanted to stay at AK on day 3, we could always leave MK early this day and head to the waterpark, and it wouldn't screw up any dining ressies. They also might need to sleep in this morning.
And that's it - their plane doesn't leave until 6:00 the next day - so I am leaving it open - we'll do DTD, swim, they can pack. I'm sure their ME will be at 3ish.
I feel bad that we aren't doing a "big meal" at the end, at that really, MM and Maya Grill are kind of nothing special.
Reassure me that my plans/ressies look good???
WDYT????

... and I don't think you should worry about the Mama Melrose Fantasmic Dinner Package at all ... I actually think you will be quite happy that you booked it for the preferred seating too ...
