It's been so long waiting...but our trip is right around the corner!
Cast:
Me - Micki 39
DH - Jason 44
DD - KayLea 14
DS - Seth 8
DS - Jared 6
DDad - Don
DStepmom - Sandy
Our goals on this trip are: try some things we haven't done before, eat at some fun places, and spend ample time relaxing, as not to wear ourselves out, and to just enjoy one another!
This is "the plan":
4/25 - Leave my dad's house around 8:30 or 9:00. Dad and Stepmom are not early risers or fast movers. We'll drive 3/4 of the way this day, stoppping in Lake City to stay the night.
4/26 - Hopefully arrive at WDW by noon. Check-in, put our luggage in the room if our rooms are ready. Will probably grab lunch at our resort (POP) and then hop a bus to MK.
We'll start off in tomorrowland because last trip, we never made it over there (my DS 8 got sick and we didn't go into MK the last day). My DSs have chosen Buzz Spin as the first ride. After visiting a few more attractions in Tomorrowland, hope we'll have time to visit POTC (on refurb last trip). Next, we'll take a spin on the monorail and end up at Ohana for our 6:45 ADR. I'm really excited about dining here! Depending on what time we finish up dinner, we may go back into MK for Spectro, but we'll just play it by ear.
4/27 Planning to be at Epcot for opening today.
Per request of kids, we'll be riding Test Track first. Next we'll visit FW East and then have lunch at Coral Reef. After lunch, the plan is to do some Kim Possible missions in WS. I also hope to catch an early showing of the Dragon Legend Acrobats in China. Missed them last trip! Might catch SSE on the way out, then head back to the Pop to swim that evening. Dinner at Pop.
4/28 Today is DS day! We'll be heading straight to TSM with everyone else! Hope to ride and get a FP. We'll spend all day in this park. Lunch at Sci-Fi and Dinner at 50's PTC. I really love DS (maybe more than most). Hope to catch Indy Jones Show, LMA, and of course, mine and DD's faves...Tower of Terror and RNRC!
4/29 This is sleep-in morning. Brunch at Everything Pop, swim and just relax. Mid-afternoon, we're going to DTD to do some shopping and will be meeting some super fun cousins who live in Orlando for an early dinner at the T-Rex Cafe. I have a feeling my DSs are really gonna like this one! A little more shopping after dinner and back to Pop.
4/30 We'll be visiting AK today. Hopefully get there at opening. E:E, then Dinoland. Can't wait to see the new Finding Nemo Musical! Probably lunch at either Flame Tree or Yak n Yeti (taking suggestions). Visit some other attractions. We really like Flights of Wonder. Finish off the day with Kali RR. Get totally soaked and head back to Pop for afternoon swim. After dinner at Pop, we may ride over to Wintersummerland and do some mini-golf. My DS 8 loves mini-golf!
5/1 Finally back at MK. Will it be Buzz first again? I'll want to get over to Frontierland, as this is my fave land. Maybe we'll look for paintbrushes at TS Isle? Will try to cover as much of MK as possible, then catch a boat to WL for our 5:20 ADR at WCC. I'd like to get to WL ahead of time to look around the resort and maybe catch the geyser. After dinner, I'd like to head back to MK to catch Wishes.
5/2 Our last day at Disney! We have a late breakfast scheduled for Chef Mickey's, then it's onto the monorail and off to Epcot! I'd like to visit Innoventions today for the first time. Then, probably after another ride on Test Track, spend some time in WS. There's a very good possibility we'll be doing more KP Missions...but I also want to just take time to stroll along and take in the atmosphere. We have an early dinner ADR at LeCellier. Then it's back to Pop to pack up the vehicle and take a last dip in the pool. Tomorrow, it's back home we go!
I'm really looking forward to this trip as it's longer than our last one which I hope will help us to not feel as rushed. I've not told my family about any of the restaurants because I want them to be total surprise to everyone. They're all new places to us.
Thanks to everyone on intercot whose helped me to plan this trip! :mickey:
