Amy,
We will be at the Polynesian at the same time! Leaving on the 7th! Say hi if you see me and my family at the resort!
Let's start with an itinerary. Here is what I would do;
- October 6 - Arrival Day
- October 7 - Magical Kingdom
- Table: Crystal Palace
- Counter: Pecos Bill's
- October 8 - Animal Kingdom
- Table: Tusker House
- Counter: Flame Tree BBQ
- October 9 - Hollywood Studios
- Table: 50s Prime Time Cafe
- Counter: Sunset Ranch Market
- October 10 - Magic Kingdom
- October 11 - Epcot
- Table: Le Cellier
- Counter: Tangierine Cafe
Now I did not know if you had Park Hoppers or if you were able to visit a park on your arrival or departure day, so I made some assumptions. Please write me back if you need to correct me on these.
As to dining, I have made one table service and one counter service suggestion, by park. Obviously this omits some great resort choices. But when you and I arrive on a final itinerary, we can plan in more detail. Let me know what you would like to experience (foreign foods, character experiences, etc.) when you write next.
I look forward to your next question!
Have a magical vacation!
