Me: Jennifer - Galactic Hero, holder of all bags, and keeper of datebook containing all plans
DH: Brian (CanadianWDWFan) – my partner in crime for 14 married years (on Apr 17) and numerous WDW adventures!
DS8: Harry – seasoned WDW veteran, lover of the shooting gallery and arcades – usually patient and accommodating older sibling.

Port Orleans French Quarter (home!) – April 20 – April 29, 2007
Day 1
We will drive to Buffalo to fly via Air Tran to Orlando (for about 1/3 the cost of flying from Toronto). Our flight is at 2:46pm and due to arrive in Orlando at 5:23.
We will pick up our rental car on the airport, and then head over to POFQ to check in and meet Cousin Pogo and his Patti at the bar at 7:00. We will be dining with them over at Boatwright’s on their anniversary none-the-less! I can’t wait to meet them! Other than dinner, we have no plans for the rest of the evening – although I am sure the boys will be itching to go swimming!
Day 2
We plan on hitting MGM bright and early. Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster was closed during our trip in January – so Harry is quite anxious to ride it “For sure, Mom!”. I might forgo both RnR and Tower of Terror this time (it’s getting hard) – and venture over to Playhouse Disney with Euan during this time. We have never gone before, as he does not know the characters – but I think he might enjoy it. We will be leaving the park pretty early to get over to MK for an 11:30 lunch at Tony’s. If we find that we are enjoying where we are, we will call to cancel the lunch ADR and hang out at MGM some more. Dinner is at ‘Ohana – but rumour has it there will not be any fireworks this night, as MK is closing early for a Grad Night…..so we’ll see. ‘Ohana is a favourite of both boys, so nothing is lost!
Day 3
EMH at Epcot (our favourite park) – to get on Test Track and Soarin’ before the crowds get out of hand! We have a 1 o’clock lunch ADR at Garden Grill with Chip ‘n’ Dale. We really enjoy the Garden Grill. The food and interaction are great and get :thumbsup: from us all! After toying around at Epcot for a while (Euan wants to build a robot and has been talking about it incessantly since January….) we will head back to POFQ for a swim and a rest. We are meeting Pogo and Patti and our very own Natazu and Sagessa for drinks at Citricos. We will then head over for late EMH at MK – and hopefully meet other Intercotters for a Jungle Cruise and Dole Whips! :sail:
Day 4
We have an early ADR at the Crystal Palace, and plan to spend the morning at MK. We will head back to the hotel for a chunk of the afternoon, then get ready for dinner ADR at Marrakesh. We hope to see Illuminations after dinner – and maybe meet up with Pogo and Patti!
Day 5
We are going to AK for EMH and a run on Expedition Everest. We will surely get to Dinoland for the Triceratops Spin and the Primevil Whirl – then over to It’s Tough to be a Bug. Back to the hotel for a swim and a rest, before heading out to MGM for our ADR at Hollywood & Vine as part of the Fantasmic Dinner Package. We did the package in July, but were rained out, so we hope to be able to see the show this trip!
Day 6
We have a breakfast ressie at Cape May, then plan on touring Epcot for the bulk of the day. We have dinner reservations at the Concourse Steakhouse – then we might go over to AK for EMH evening.
Day 7
EMH at MK – and no plans whatsoever (we are going to play it by ear). We have hired Kid’s Nite Out to watch the boys this evening, whilst we join Jym and Rachel for dinner at the California Grill (we are very excited about this!). :fworks: :eat: I can’t think of better people to experience it with for the first time!!
Day 8
We’re heading back to MGM to hang out – we have an ADR for lunch at the Sci-Fi. It will be a kid’s choice for our activity after lunch. Dinner is at the Kona Café.
Day 9
Kid’s choice for where to go this day – our only plan is Chef Mickey’s for dinner.
Day 10
‘Ohana for breakfast with Stitch :stitch2: (Harry’s choice). We’ll head over to MK for a last spin around before heading back to the airport after lunch. Our flight home is at 5:44 – we hope to be home in our beds by about 11:30.
