    Hi! Thnx much for detailed answer! T-Rex not avail for lunch/dinner during our stay. Made early lunch res @ Rainforest Cafe in AK on Fri (early magic hrs). Hoping for MK (maybe 2 days?), AK, HS. Have park hopper so maybe Epcot pm. after MK? Your ideas?Thx!

    It's great to hEAR back from you, Jagela! It's such a pleasure to assist you with all of your Walt DIsney World Vacation planning questions! That was a great choice booking Rainforest Café on your day at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park.If you are still wanting to dine at T-REX Café during your trip as well, I have had success in calling the restaurant directly at (407) 828-8739 when I was unable to secure an Advanced Dining Reservation through Disney Dining.I like to plan a Resort Day (non-park day) in the middle of our trip to enjoy our Disney Resort and recharge our batteries.We usually schedule this on our third full vacation day.Based on your previous question, I would still recommend using your arrival day to get settled in and head to bed early.Plan to visit Magic Kingdom on Thursday where you will be able to easily walk to the park following your breakfast at Chef Mickey's. I would also recommend going back to your Resort for a midday break or nap and then returning in the evening. I would plan Disney's Animal Kingdom Park for Friday and either plan to "park hop" to Epcot that afternoon or make it a shorter day depending on if you are planning to visit a park again on Saturday. I personally prefer a Resort Day after two full days of park touring over spending multiple days in Magic Kingdom.I have learned from personal experience that with "little ones" you need down time during the trip or every one gets so tired that you cannot enjoy the parks as well.If you plan to skip the parks on Saturday, then I would recommend visiting DIsney's Hollywood Studios on Sunday making sure to experience Fantasmic! that evening! If you do decide to visit a park on each day of your trip, I would only visit Disney's Animal Kingdom Park on Friday, Disney's Hollywood Studios on Saturday followed by Epcot and Magic Kingdom on Sunday. I am out of room, but please don't hesitate to write me back with additional questions. Best wishes for a Magical trip, Jagela!
    Happy Planning,
    Jodie
