Pre-Trip A Birthday/Graduation Celebration Sister Trip!

Stop posting for years, read avidly, come back when I've got a trip planned? Who, me?

I've been an agent for the last year but my last real trip was in 2014. No amount of research online or training can top field experience so I'd been looking for a good excuse to go back to the World.

My sister (left) and I at MNSSHP on our last trip in 2014 doing the weirdest pose a PhotoPass photographer has ever suggested.

My little sister Andrea (22) is graduating from university at the end of the month (she did a joint program and is graduating with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Education, I'm so excited for her) and I thought that was the perfect reason. Her birthday is June 29th so I'm taking her down for 5 nights at Pop as a joint Graduation/Birthday present. We're also on the QS DDP.

We've never stayed at Pop, or any Value actually, so I'm actually looking forward to checking it out! We won't be in the room much though, we've got a busy schedule!

Wednesday, June 28th
We fly IAG -> MCO landing at 10:20pm, Magical Express to Pop

Thursday, June 29th
Andrea's Birthday so we're at Magic Kingdom all day!
8:40am ADR at BOG
Trader Sam's for drinks after MK closes

Friday, June 30th
Hollywood Studios for the day!
Afternoon break to hit the pool

Saturday, July 1st - Canada Day
EPCOT for the day so we can hit Canada on Canada Day :)
We'll probably drink around the world (responsibly of course!) because this is the first trip she's been over 21 for)
Jelly Rolls after EPCOT closes

Sunday, July 2nd
10:00am ADR at California Grill for Brunch at the Top
Animal Kingdom for the rest of the day

Monday, July 3rd
Hoping to spend a couple hours at Disney Springs in the morning before heading back to Pop to catch the Magical Express. We fly out of MCO at 4:15pm so I'm thinking they can possibly be picking us up before noon at the earliest, right? I've also never taken Magical Express before!

We're really excited to take a trip just the two of us, I think it's going to be a great excuse for us to get away from our busy lives in different cities and spend time together.

Sounds like a great sister trip
My DD are 22 and 21 so they may do something similar in the future (once Mom and Dad stop paying for the whole family to go together)

You mentioned Canada Day on July 1st - We are from Waterloo Ontario - being in Epcot on that day sounds cool to me

I live in Waterloo as well, what a small world! I'm a little sad to be in the States for our 150th this year, and the University of Waterloo Canada Day celebration is always so great but it was the only time the trip worked so I guess Illuminations will have to do instead!

It is crazy that we live in the same city
My DD goes to UW and is in Bio Med Engineering (just finished coop term - going into 2B this summer)
Did your sister go to UW as well?

Sister trips are the best! My sister and I celebrated my 50th birthday at Disney in 2016.
That's so cool! I hope my sister and I will still be taking Disney trips together when our 50th birthdays roll around!

My sister didn't actually she went to Laurier Brantford we don't live in the same city right now! I'm a UW alumna myself though and now I work at the school. :)

I booked our FastPasses so here's an update!

Thursday, June 29th (MK)
9:10am FP for Under the Sea
10:45am FP for Mine Train
11:50am FP for Space

Friday, June 30th (HS)
9:35am FP for TSMM

Saturday, July 1st (EPCOT)
9:20am FP for Nemo
11:45am FP for Frozen Ever After

Sunday, July 2nd (AK)
1:15pm FP for Avatar Flight of Passage
2:15pm FP for Kilimanjaro

Questions: I went with FoP over Naavi River Journey because I assumed it would have longer lines but am I wrong? Also are we going to have trouble seeing Rivers of Light without a dining package or FastPasses? I've literally never booked a FP for a nighttime show before as it feels like a waste and there are EMH that night so I don't mind "wasting time" getting there early to wait. But am I mistaken?
