Trip Report $150 for 11 days

The majority of people who visited my pre trip report don't think I can do it within my budget. I am going to try and write my TR every day including how much money I spent.

3 Nov. was a travel day. I flew BA from Gatwick. The flight was fine and I got to All Star Sport around 9pm. Unpacked and went to bed. Total spent $0

Tuesday 4 Nov
I woke up at 7 and was out the door by 7.35. I made a cup of to go coffee in the room and packed my lunchbox with delicious snacks and treats. I made it to MK for the opening show. It was very sweet and I felt a bit weepy watching it.
Once inside I walked straight to my favorite ride. Haunted Mansion! I walked right on and wrote it twice without getting off. After that Splash Mountain. I walked on to that as well, I had to get off but walked right back on again. By then it was only 9.35! Little break for some free water and yummy nutbar and on to Pirates. Again no wait.
I checked the line for Jungle Cruise but it was 40min standby so I skipped it. I did Swiss family tree because I love the view from the top. After that I caught the first of the castle show. I never took the time to watch the whole thing and it was very cute. After that I went to the Laugh Floor. Funny as always. During the show I started to feel very tired so when it was finished I went back to my hotel for a nap.

I got back to my hotel at 12.40 and had a great one hour nap. Woke up feeling refreshed but faced with a dilemma. By the time I got back to MK it was 14.55. I had a fastpass for SDMT valid till 3 but the new parade was starting as well.

I chose the parade and was very happy I did. The new floats are spectacular! Absolutely loved it!!! After the parade I waited a few min. for the crowds to thin out and then I walked to SDMT. I was 45 min late for my FP but felt like trying my luck. The CM at the FP lane threw a little pixie dust my way and let me in. I was SO happy. From entering the cue to walking back out was less then 10min. I think the ride is nice but I wouldn't stand in line to do it. Not enough theming and too short to make a long wait worth it. IMHO
After that I went on Carousel of Progress. They were experiencing technical difficulties while I was on the ride so it took twice as long. I didn't mind as I am by myself and have plenty of time but some of the families were not amused.
Because of the very slow CoP it was time for my Buzz FP when I came out. I had lots of fun on Buzz but even though I looked up the high value targets online I still didn't get a high score. Never mind...
Watched a little bit of Incredibles Dance Party. All the little kids dancing are super cute. I was starting to feel tired again but still had a FP for Belle so wanted to stay. I decided to do a few spins on the people mover. It was beautiful to see the sunset over the Kingdom.

Once I had my fill of the people mover I moved on to Mickey's Philharmagic. It is a great film with a bit of everything.
Finally it was time for my FP for Enchanted tales with Belle. I think this is such a sweet show with all the kids participating. I had planned on staying to watch Wishes but I was just too tired. I got the bus back and was in bed by 9.
Total spent of the day $0
Amount of fun had 100%

Thanks everyone for following along.
Wednesday 5Nov.
I decided to go to HS today. As I went to bed at 9pm I was up at 6.30. I took my time getting ready and then got the bus. I was at the park at 8.20. Once it opened I high tailed it to TSMM and pretty much walked on. By the time I got out the wait was 55min. after that I walked on ToT. After I screamed like the little princess that I am I went to see Voyage of the Little Mermaid. A Frozen sing along was next. I had a FP for ToT so back to that. By then it was lunch time and as I was really in the mood for some beans so I ordered a side of beans at Fairfax and a free water.

Hi, so glad you are having such a great time. You did not mention what type of snacks and treats you brought with you. How did you manage to go through an entire day without purchasing any food.

Alice, I brought a selection of food. For breakfast I have porridge pots. I just ad hot water to those to make a filling porride, less healthy but very tasty are my ready made wafels. You can toast them but I like them cold. I also have some pancakes I can microwave and little pots of maple syrup I took from a hotel I stayed at last month. I have vacuumed packed cheese, selection of salted roasted nuts and seeds, dried fruits, sweet chili crackers, ramen noodles, biscuits, chocolate and some sweeties.
SMK I am eating and drinking plenty, thank you.
