This is our first time arriving at Disney from inside the US via car (and not from an airport having flown all the way from the UK.) We will be setting off around 9 or 10am from Sarasota which to my knowledge is a 2- 2 1/2 hour drive. I am assuming it will be less tiring than the flight and we may have the energy to do a little park time.
1- Go straight to the MK and have lunch at the Crystal Palace (I have this ADR locked down) and then do the 3 evening fast passes I have booked before returning to the hotel unpacking/freshening up and hitting 1900 Park Fare which is our tradition for a first night.
OR
2- Going to Disney Springs and trying Raglan Road for lunch. Hitting the shops then returning to our room to unpack before our 1900 PF dinner.
The idea of 2 buffet character meals in one day is mildly horrific, but its DS's birthday trip so as usual we do anything for him. Would it be a waste of valuable Disney time not to do the parks? Would I regret missing that afternoon of MK? We aren't the hugest fans of Disney Springs and after 3 weeks of Florida its not like we haven't seen those shops before but I don't really know what else to do on a 1/2 day.
