In September, we'll be taking a five night trip, staying at Animal Kingdom Villas Kidani Village for four nights, and Saratoga Springs for one night. We've put together a loose itinerary complete with ADRs. Let me know what you think!
Our flight arrives in Orlando at 1030AM on day 1, a Saturday. We figure that by the time DME takes us to AKV, our room still won't be ready, so we may head over to Epcot for a little while, with the plan in mind to head back to the resort when we're notified that our room is ready.
When we get the call, we'll head back to AKV and get into our room. We'll take this afternoon and evening to really get to know our new resort, our HOME resort . We'll spend the rest of day 1 at the resort, because we have an 800PM ADR at Sanaa.
Sunday morning we'll arrive at MK at opening. Around lunchtime we'll head out of MK, stopping at Guest Services to pick up our MNSSHP for Tuesday night. We'll head back to Kidani Village for relaxation at the pool and maybe lunch at The Mara or the poolside dining service that they offer. MK will be offering PM EMH that night, but we have an 800PM ADR at Jiko, so we probably won't be going back to MK.
Monday morning DAK offers AM EMH, so we'll be there at rope drop. Lunch that day will probaby be at the quick service Yak and Yeti, since it's the only place at DAK we haven't eaten yes. We may take a midday break on this day too, and the evening will be spent at either DtD for (pin) shopping and/or at DHS, which has evening EMH.
On Tuesday we'll check out of AKV early and have Disney move our luggage to SSR, where, at some point on this day, we'll be checking in. We're going to try and take advantage of AM EMH at Epcot, and stay through lunch, since we have a 100PM ADR at Le Chefs de France. After lunch we may take the short walk through the International Gateway and then boat to to DHS for anything we may have missed the day before. If we're in need of a theme park break, we'll boat to The Boardwalk instead. In any case we'll need to get back to SSR r in plenty of time to get ready for MNSSHP.
Wednesday is our departure day so we'll have to deal with checking out of SSR and setting up DME. But our flight is late in the day, around 625PM, which means we won't have to be on the DME bus from SSR till about 330. That gives us the morning and a bit of the afternoon at DHS. In fact, we have a noon ADR at 50's Prime Time.
So this is our itinerary for now. We think that it's relaxing enough that we won't spend the whole trip running around, but packed with enough excitement to satisfy us.
