Well, it is just about that time once again for the Krueger Family trip to Disney!!! For those keeping score, our trip had been cancelled a few weeks ago, but got back on track shortly thereafter. We leave 2 weeks from today, but there is so much going on between now and then. Since this is a PRE-trip report, I thought I'd include what will be going on between now and the day of departure that will be affecting our trip as well. If you have any feedback, please don't hesitate to let me know!
Cast of Characters:
Dad (52) - Is as big of a Disney nut as I am and my partner in crime for planning the trip and planning surprises for the other girls
Rebecca (me, 23) - When I tell you that I wrote a 30 page planning book, I think you'll understand the level of Disney freak that I am. :blush:
Emily (ihavealipfreckle, 21) - Loves being AT Disney, but has complete faith in my planning, I just have to tell her when to be where and she does it!
Anna (bananaanna838, 19) - My protege in planning, has gone from simply liking Disney to being a freak like the rest of us.
Location - We're staying at one of the cabins at Fort Wilderness; a favorite for us for many reasons including the reletively huge amount of space.
Act One - Before The Trip
5/30-5/11 - Well, Emma, Anna, and I still have finals to deal with, not to mention packing up to go home. Also, I'm graduating!!! But my Dad will be running around working and getting Anna's stuff home, then my whole family, my Mom's boyfriend Randy, and my best friend Gregory are coming up May 11 to see me graduate the next day. As us girls pack up our rooms, we're going to pack everything we're bringing to Disney seperately so we don't have to go on a huge scavenger hunt on Mother's Day.
5/12 - I graduate in the morning (yay!), we're going to lunch, then its a 5 hour ride home. When we get back, we have to unpack everything and start washing clothes for Disney. Since they're packed seperately it shouldn't be too hard to find them! Later that night, Mom, Randy, Emma, Greg, and I are going to West Chester to see my friend John play piano at a bar. Anna's probably gonna keep doing laundry for us!
5/13 - Mother's Day! We're going to spend the whole day not discussing the trip and spending it with my Mommy! I'm sure we'll be doing laundry, however, as there is a lot to do!
Act Two - The Trip
5/14 - Leave the house by 10am to drive to Lorton and get on the AutoTrain.
5/15 - Arrive at Sanford, drive to Disney, go to AK then Epcot, after leaving Epcot we'll go to the store for provisions.
5/16 - Magic Kingdom and MGM
5/17 - Anna planned this day, Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom
5/18 - MGM and Epcot
5/19 - Epcot and MGM
5/20 - Today is the Ironman Competition, so we might be driving to Epcot, then going back to the cabin to grill dinner, then going to Magic Kingdom
5/21 - Emma planned this day, MGM, Animal Kingdom, and Downtown Disney
5/22 - Magic Kingdom and Epcot
5/23 - Animal Kingdom and MGM
5/24 - Magic Kingdom and Epcot
5/25 - Leave Fort Wilderness by noon to go back to Sanford and on the AutoTrain home
5/26 - Arrive in Lorton and drive home
Notes: We aren't picky about where we eat, we usually call in the morning and see what's available. We're going to go to DTD more, but that's something we see how we feel. AND, I have some surprises up my sleeve!!!
