DH: Gilles (53)
Myself: turning 50 during the trip

This trip was planned because I was turning 50 on Dec. 4th and I refuse to grow old. So why not go to the place that there are no adults, just big kids? We really don't have any plans set in stone, but these are just a few ideas. We want to play it mostly by ear this trip.


Dec. 1- we should be heading to Pearson International Airport around 7 am. Luckily, it's a 10 minute drive from our house!! Our flight takes off at around 10 am and we should be hitting MCO around 1pm. After checking in to Wilderness Lodge, we plan to check out the resort, then catch a ride to the monorail and check out the Christmas decorations at the Poly, GF and the Contempory. After checking out that we'll be heading to Epcot for dinner at the Marakesh. After dinner leasurely stroll through World Showcase, then catch Illuminations.

Dec. 2-Head to Epcot and enjoy Future World and get more of WS. We have ADR's at Flying Fish for dinner, which will be my birthday dinner, so we'll probably head back to WL for the afternoon to rest. After dinner, I want to check out DTD.

Dec. 3-This day is slated to be for AK. Dinner is at Boma at 5pm, so after dinner head to MK for EMH.

Dec. 4-(My birthday) The only thing we have planned for this day is MVMCP. We have reservations for LTT, but are thinking about cancelling them. We're not sure if we really want to go there. At 8pm we're meeting Aprilisis, so if anyone wants to meet up with us, we'll be in front of the Christmas store. I'll be wearing my tshirt that says "Today is my birthday and I refuse to grow old!!"

Dec. 5-Only plans for today is dinner at Kona Cafe.

Dec. 6-This is our Disney Studio day. We have dinner reservations at the Brown Derby.

Dec. 7-Our trip ends today with breakfast at WCC, then we're off to MCO and home.:(

:hi: Buddy...... your plans sound very relaxing. May I suggest you get to the Kona Cafe a little early and stop by the Tambu Lounge for a Lapu lapu.:papple: You and Gilles might want to split one.

Enjoy ! :D
