It's happening...well, not at the moment, but soon, oh so soon, I shall return to Walt Disney World. My last trip which was a ride in and of itself as it was March 2010, smack dab in Spring Break, and right before Easter. Fun. (It was actually fun.)(Trip Report can be read HERE and HERE)
This time I am going mostly solo for the trip, which is sort of me patting myself on the back for almost being done with film school (I'll earn my Bachelor's degree in March.) I also timed the trip to visit with my aunt, her partner, and their son who visit once a year. Their son, David, often asks if I can ride The Haunted Mansion with him, so I made sure that this time I can do just that.
The trip is December 2nd - December 8th at the Art of Animation resort (Little Mermaid Section) and I have Park Hopper tickets (but not Water Park tickets because I don't look good in a bathing suit) and intend to hop the heck out of these parks.I also have the regular dining plan.
My current itinerary (which is where I am looking for comments and suggestions) is as follows.
Monday Dec. 2nd
Leave Boston at 10:25am
Arrive to MCO at 1:38pm
Take Magical Express to AoA, Estimated arrival 2:30.
Magic Kingdom for the rest of the day (into Magic Hours)?
Tuesday Dec. 3rd
Hollywood Studios in the Morning.
Magic Kingdom at 3 for a 4:30 Be Our Guest Reservation with my Aunt
Wednesday Dec. 4
Animal Kingdom during the day
Lunch at FlameTree BBQ
Dinner at Kona Cafe
Fireworks at MK (or possibly at Bay Lake Tower with my Aunt)
Thursday
Epcot during day
2pm Reservation at Via Napoli
Visit Animal KIngdom Lodge
7:45pm Reservation at Jiko (May Cancel, not sure)
Possibly return to Epcot for Illuminations
Friday
No real plans besides
Lunch Reservation at Whispering Canyons at 2:30
May do DISUnplugged event at HS that night, depending on price.

Sunday
Check out
Park Plans not finalized
Magic Express back to MCO (Sadness)
Depart to Boston at 11:35
I may also do the Christmas Party on one of the nights, not sure yet though.
I originally set out to not plan to much on this trip, but I seemingly can't myself. What do you think of this plan? Should I change things? Re-arrange?
I can't wait for this trip and I only have a little bit more to pay off before it's officially offical. But my plane ticket is booked, so by hell or high water (whatever that means) I am going to Disney World!
