Saturday 8th November - WINE AND DINE HALF MARATHON!!!

OMG... I actually have to run a half marathon... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

So today we will have a lazy start and go to Kona Cafe for a big breakfast as I read you should have your main meal at breakfast on the day of a night run. We will later venture to Epcot for a lunch at Via Napoli.

Fast Passes:

Test Track® Presented by Chevrolet®
1:55 PM - 2:55 PM
Meet Disney Pals at the Epcot Character Spot
3:20 PM - 4:20 PM
Spaceship Earth
4:25 PM - 5:25 PM

Then holy moly I have to be on a bus at around 7pm!! We may not stay in Epcot for all the fastpasses above, more than likely we'll go for a rest first!

There is an afterpart in Epcot that goes on until 4am... wonder if we'll make it after the run!

Sunday 9th November - Sleep & Rest

This day is self explanatory! No plans see what happens!

Monday 10th November - Universal & MVMCP

What a great last day! Universal and a Disney part! WHOOP WHOOP! Never been to the Christmas party so that'll be exciting!

Tuesday 11th November - MK & Home

Let's not talk about this one ;)

Mine arrived too. Loved your previous trip report so will be interested to read the next one. Don't want to think how much your trip must have cost staying in AKL (even if it is just s few nights) I am there from 5th to 21st Nov At POR (16 nights) can't wait.
Might see you around. Good luck with your half marathon

It’s actually not been as expensive as you might think. We got our All Star Sports room for about £50 a night but we split that cost between 3 of us and we rented vacation points for the three nights in animal kingdom lodge so I think it worked out around $170 each.

Ah DVC members? We looked at it last year but we're concerned around signing up. It's obviously worked out for you. Maybe we should look again?
Got a Disney e mail today 14 days to go.

No no we're not DVC members at all, we would only make it over once a year max so never really looked into it. You are able to rent vacation points from DVC memebers who will not be using all of theirs within the year, I used this wedsite:

http://www.dvcrequest.com/

I had read about the site on here so checked it out and I'm so happy we did! I never thought I'd actually stay in a delux but this made it possible for us! We actually tried to rent for the entire last week but that last weekend is realy busy so it was unavailable.

OMG thank you for this info (I haven't seen this before) already booked for next year but this will definitely be something I will look into now. I love WDW Magic site it's tips and info like this that is great to share. And after 18 years going every year it proves we can all still learn something new. Thank you

Ye exactly! I love this site for things like that, I would never of known about this either without the forum! I'll let you know how I get on but the reviews are great of this site and the reservation is in the reservations section of my profile on the Disney site, we're checked in and everything and it appears just like my other reservations! :D

I've always been one of those people that looks at places like AKL and thinks 'I wish I was rich' so it's a bit sureal to actual be going there!

Saw you cross the finish line at the half! That was me who called out your name from the stands just before the finish line, I'm pretty sure you heard because you seemed to be looking (and surprised). ;) You looked fantastic, well done!!

I knew it was my name I heard called!!!!! I'm pretty sure I looked right at you when you shouted too but I wasn't expecting anyone to be cheering us on so hence my surprise!!! Thanks for the shout out!! Hope you had a great trip, I just arrived home yesterday and back to normality today :(

You had also memorymaker? :) The photo's are there within 30 minutes after taking! LOL!

BTW, didn't manage to see you in the park :)
Click to expand...

Yes I did get memorymaker, I think if it's like photopass before I'll need to go through and add all my borders etc before downloading, also last time they sent me DVDs in the post and wouldn't let me download as I was over a certain number of photos.

No I didn't see you either lol I see you are already planning to come back too, guess you had a good time then!
