Schedule Underway

So this past weekend my husband and sat down and began planning out our tentative schedule for the big October Disney Trip. We are figuring out mostly what parks we will go to when so we can decide when to eat at the restaurants we want to go to so that it makes sense with our schedule. The first thing we usually do is go through the restaurants and decide where we want to eat and then from there we plug them into the schedule where they make sense. It is good to have a variety of place like try not to pick all Epcot restaurants and when you are looking at resort restaurants think about how long it could take to get to that restaurant and if you think you want to take that much time out of your day for dinner. We usually stick to resorts on the monorail if we are going to a resort restaurant. That is just a little bit of the process- I will talk more about this when we finish our scedule

Hours

Finally the hours are up for our October trip- well most of the hours. I checked on July 1st nothing. Then I checked back on July 2nd and the hours for Magic Kingdom and Hollywood studios were up, but nothing for Animal Kingdom or Epcot I thought it was strange. I went back again to Disney's site on July 3rd and they had posted the rest of the hours for our trip, but not all of the extra magic hour days and nothing was listed for the World Showcase part of Epcot. Today when I looked everything is up except World Showcase hours. The next step now in our planning is to plug the hours into our Excell planning worksheet and decide what our general schedule will be what parks we want to go to when and then plug our dining into that so when we hit the 90 day mark we can make our dining reservations. I know I have mentioned earlier in the blog that Disney has made it so you can book dining reservations online which we are looking forward to trying out. I will let you know when we make our general schedule I think our 90 day mark to do our dining is July 17th or so.
