4 Weeks to Disney: Disney World Plans

It's hard to believe that it's now less than a month until I leave on my trip.

I still have a lot of work to do on my plans for Disneyland, even though it's the first part of my trip. But since operating hours for Disney World have been out for months and I've already made my FastPass+ bookings, my plans for there are fairly firm.

I do have very detailed plans worked out on touringplans.com but here's a rough overview.

Sunday 6th September
Arrival day. No parks planned but might do some resort-hopping. Dinner at either Pop or Art of Animation. Hoping to see Frozen Fireworks from hotel, then an early night in preparation for a full on couple of weeks.

Monday 7th September
Hollywood Studios: Rope drop target = Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. FPPs = Tower of Terror, Toy Story Midway Mania, Frozen Sing-Along. Otherwise my focus is on the Frozen Summer Fun activities which are scheduled to end this day. Should be able to slot in a few other rides in between. Lunch most likely at Starring Rolls.
Epcot: Popping over to ride Living with the Land before its refurb and have dinner (probably at Sunshine Seasons), with a quick tour of France, the UK and Canada (and maybe a cronut) on my way from the International Gateway.
Hollywood Studios: Back to the studios for the Frozen Fireworks and evening EMH.

Tuesday 8th September
4 Parks 1 Day! Goal is to take a photo in front of the park icon, see at least one attraction, and eat something in each park. Although I'm not sure what the icon of Hollywood Studios is supposed to be now that the hat is gone?
Epcot: Future World. Rope drop target (morning EMH) = Test Track. FPPs = Soarin, Spaceship Earth (I also have a FPP for Figment but it isn't until 11:50 so I will probably ride standby instead). Croissant Berry Pudding at Sunshine Seasons.
Hollywood Studios: Beauty and the Beast. Carrot Cake Cookie (Writer's Stop)
Animal Kingdom: Sign up for Wilderness Explorers ready for subsequent days. Maybe It's Tough to be a Bug? Flame Tree Barbecue
Magic Kingdom: Cake Cup (Cheshire Cafe). Tomorrowland attractions. Wishes. If I'm not completely sugared out, Gaston's Tavern for a cinnamon roll and LeFou's Brew. Evening EMH in Fantasyland.

Wednesday 9th September
Animal Kingdom: Rope drop target (morning EMH) = Kilimanjaro Safaris. FPPs = Festival of the Lion King, Expedition Everest, Kali River Rapids. Generally hitting Africa, Asia and Discovery Island with lunch at Yak & Yeti counter service.
