1 year anniversary June 2015

[mavlax20]

So I am planning my 1 year anniversary before I'm even married, not sure if that is sad or smart, but I'll stick with smart because I feel better that way

Anyways, my anniversary will be June 7, which will be a Sunday, however flights are cheaper on Mondays I believe. Is it bad to plan the trip to start the day after the anniversary? I am planning on a week long trip, with the Disney Deluxe Dining Plan (3 meals 2 snacks/day) if they have that option in 2015. If they do, this is what I have planned for meals and park days, and I'm just asking for thoughts, opinions, what could I do to make the trip more memorable? Not sure if we would fly in on June 7 or June 8, so I'm basing all of this on flying in on June 8, with an arrival after breakfast.

Monday June 8: Magic Kingdom
Quick Service (Lunch)*depending on arrival time
California Grill (Dinner)

Tuesday June 9: Epcot
Chef Mickey's (Breakfast)
Quick Service (Lunch)
Le Cellier (Dinner)

Wednesday June 10: Magic Kingdom
Quick Service (Lunch)
Be Our Guest (Dinner)

Thursday June 11: Hollywood Studios
Quick Service (Lunch)
Mama Melrose (Dinner)

Friday June 12: Animal Kingdom
Quick Service (Lunch)
Quick Service (Dinner)

Saturday June 13: Magic Kingdom
1900 Park Fare (Breakfast)
Quick Service (Lunch)
Cinderella's Royal Table (Dinner)

Sunday June 14: Leaving Day
Quick Service (Breakfast and Lunch)*depending on departure time

I may move everything back a day, arriving on June 9 and leaving June 15, as I am sure it is not fun to leave Disneyworld on your birthday, which the 14th is her birthday. What are your thoughts on all this? All thoughts are appreciated as I have never had an anniversary to plan lol

First, congratulations on your upcoming wedding and welcome to the insanity that is the Disney obsession when you are already planning the first anniversary trip before the wedding! Love it.

Your plan looks great. You seem to approach dining similar to me and DH-two reservations on some days, one on others, and some with none.

I think it would be smart if you can to do 6/9-6/15 so she can spend her first birthday anniversary there. May I suggest a tour or special fun thing like a Segway Tour? They're super fun. She would love a flower arrangement in your room upon arrival from Disney florists too. You're already a great spouse!

Whatever you chose, you'll have a great time. Enjoy and happy planning!!!

I'm gonna do 6/9-6/15, for the reasons you mentioned, but also better prices with flying. I will say that it is tougher to plan on my own and without her input, because you just hope that she likes your choices...however, that's what surprises are for!

I'm leaving next Monday for my anniversary in the world! Make sure you have them note it in your reservations that you will be celebrating an anniversary and birthday!
You seem to have planned a ton of Quick Service meals... which is a waste if you are using the regular or deluxe dining plan. I would suggest adding in more table service meals or signature restaurants or just paying OOP instead. I use www.distripplanner.com for food estimates.

The big reason for some quick service is because I don't want to spend too much time in restaurants compared to the parks. I also don't want to be stuffed from one meal and then it be time for a 2nd meal. I don't know of any places in Animal Kingdom that my fiancé may like, since she's not an adventurous eater, so I just have QS set there, however as time goes by, that may also change. I'll check out the website, any and all tips are accepted.
