Hi Everyone..
I thought I'd do my pre trip report to mark my 12th time visiting Disney World and because its the busiest week in Disney, I would like your opinions on our itenary and our disney dining options.
So here goes: Me and my partner James get married in the UK on 17th December 2011.. we travel to disney on the following Tuesday 20th December.
Let me introduce myself and James:
This is a photo of me and James at Disney early December 2008, seeing the amazing Osbourne Lights! wow..
So.. our plans so far..
Tuesday 20th- Fly from Manchester Airport to Orlando International. We should arrive around 3 pm ish Florida time. From here we are met by the same taxi person we have had for years now called Marty and we will head to a supermarket to pick up some essentials. Then off to PORT ORLEANS Riverside to check in... After this we have decided ( as I have stayed here before) that we will catch the boat to Downtown Disney to grab some Irish fish and chips from Cookes of Dublin.. before heading back to our room, for a much needed rest.
Wednesday 21st- We have reservations for the breakfast at the Crystal Palace at 8:15am. Meaning we will be in the park before it opens at 9. This is something I have never done before. eeek Then explore MK as much as we can... then we have reservations around 6 ish at the plaza restuarant.. then I'm hoping we will stay for wishes etc..
Thursday 22nd- We decided on Animal Kingdom- we feel as we will have had a very busy first day at MK. I have however,booked a special suprise for my fiance and we will be getting the bus to fort Wilderness to have a horse drawn sleigh ride, eeek! :xmas: At night we have ADR for T-REX at DD- another restaurant I have never been to.
Friday 23rd- We are going offsite to Universal Studios- I haven't been to Universal for about 4 years, so I'm looking forward to seeing it again. Mainly looking forward to the Macy's parade! Afterwards might go on IDRIVE and eat at the golden corral.
Saturday 24th- We are going to visit Hollywood Studios. We have ADR for 50's prime time (never visited) at 3:10pm, while the parade is on. Looking forward to seeing the new star wars ride. Late at night, hope to see fantasmic, followed by the osbourne lights.
Sunday 25th (xmas day)- We have chosen EPCOT. we have prebooked the Candlelight processional dining package. We chose Rose and Crown, as its christmas day and we will be missing home and our families. Going to try to go for rope drop, as its early morning magic hours.
Monday 26th- We have decided to visit Universal Islands this day... as we aren't so fussed about seeing it tbh. But we would like to see Harry Potter world.
Tuesday 27th- Think we need to revist MK
Wednesday 28th-We are going to Epcot- where we have been a little greedy- we have ADR for chefs de france at lunch and an evening reservation for the garden grill.
Thursday 29th- We haven't decided- but we think it could be Hollywood Studios and finish off with shopping etc..
Saturday 30th- Fly back home
Anyway, we will get home on new years eve! To start a new year as husband and wife!!
I will definitely write a trip report when we our home.
If anyone has any comments or advice about christmas week.. anything would be useful!!
Thanks
