So excited when I got home and the box with the magic bands were on the counter waiting for me!
I did a semi pre-trip report but that was before, free dining, magic bands, fp+, ADRs' and Poly construction.
Who, DH, DD, DS and myself!
When - Nov 16 - 21st
Where - Poly!
How - JetBlue
When I booked the trip with Karen from MJ (awesome as usual!), free dining had not been announced (thanks Karen for getting it for me!) I had barely heard about magic bands, and never thought I would have a Disney Experience app on my phone, (I was resistant as I did not want to be obsessing about wait times etc and always looking at my phone).
I'am a planner and was not sure that I really wanted to book my FP, however with that said, I do like to know that we will get on our favorite rides.
I won't go day by day on our plans, but we have been many times we will have a good amount of downtime.
We have FP booked for all but 1 day. I thought it was interesting that I could not book them for EMH, I'm guessing this is because non disney resort guess can have Magic bands also (in the future)?
ADR's Ohanas, Liberty Tree Tavern, Tusker house (breakfast), Chef Mickeys (breakfast), Teppan
My daughter may try parasailing
We will spend a good amount of time relaxing on the balcony or pool.
We love the Osbourne lights and drinking hot chocolate on Main Street!
We are celebrating a 25th wedding anniversary (we stayed at the Poly on our Honeymoon), and my daughters graduation from H.S. this year (a little early but we love going in November!)
I discovered podcast since my last visit, so listening to these and Disney music has helped me get through since the last visit!
I can't wait to go and report back!
