DisneyPrincess5's Pre-Trip Report!

Hi all! :wave:

So we aren't going to WDW until January, but we've been SO excited lately, I have to share our upcoming trip with you guys!

The travelers:
Liz (Me, 22)

Social Work student and HUGE Disney fan! I live, eat, and breathe the stuff.
This will be my 10th trip, and in need of my WDW fix! Can't wait to ride ToT and Toy Story Mania!

Ryan (My wonderful boyfriend, 28)

Market Researcher, also a huge Disney fan, somewhat thanks to yours truly :) He cannot wait for the trip!
Also a lover of ToT, Philharmagic (as seen above!) and also Rock n Rollercoaster!

We went last year in January and going again this January...what a great break from the brutal winter weather of Connecticut!
We're bummed that Splash Mountain won't be open again this January, but super excited for the new and improved Space Mountain, as it is one of our favorites!

Where:
The beautiful, amazing Polynesian! Gotta love the monorail!

The Plan:
We will be staying from Friday January 8 to Saturday January 16!
We're doing the Around the World-On a Segway Tour at Epcot, which we are SUPER excited about! We've seen the tour, now we'll be a part of it!
We park hop a lot, and always try to do EMH.
We plan to visit DTD for a little bit and ride Characters in Flight.
Also, we will be visiting Universal for a day.

Dining Ressies:
Dinner at Chef Mickeys
Lunch at Sci-Fi
Lunch at San Angel Inn


Thanks for reading everyone, and look for our Trip Report in January! :wave:

We must set up a meet-up for the wdwmagic peeps! We'll be there the 8th thru the 17th at AKL. I'm so jazzed I can't stand it. I should do a pre-trippie thread to document the trials & tribulations of being the planner for my completely insane family along with my in-laws..:lookaroun..no pressure. :lol:

You'll love the Segway around the world thing at Epcot. My old man & I did that back in December 2007. My aunt came to visit us a couple days and offered to take the boys while we did something grown-up. We felt like little kids. And had a blast! Here's a pic:

And the Poly is awesome! Are you doing any room requests??? My brother & I asked for Tokelau and got it. We loved the location. :cool: I think my favorite thing was being able to hit the Kona Coffee Bar every morning for my early fix. MMMmmmmmm....:slurp:

Sweetpea, if you end up doing a pre trip report, let me know! I love reading them...especially when people are going around the same time as us.

Hope you have a great time! We just got back and I want to start planning another trip already but money might be an issue for a while.

DisneyPrincess,

Well, have fun on those Segways then. Once you get used to them, you will wish you had one...to go where who knows, but they are cool.

I have provided a link below for a list of the different tours. I believe there may be a few more as well. But, the DAK tour was called Backstage Safari...amazing tour. You literally get to see everything, including the animals up-close, their living quarters, etc. You even end up actually in the 'operating rooms' over at Conservation Station. Again, very well-done.

But, if you have been a lot to Magic Kingdom, you need to go on the Keys to the Kingdom tour one of your trips. You get to go in the Utildor (not that magical down there, but amazing), other backstage area, and get a lot of interesting facts. Cool stuff. There is also a 7 hour tour to see behind the scenes of all the parks, but I have always enjoyed doing each one individually and never did that one. I try to do one every trip, or at least every other trip. I have actually been on the majority of them. But, definitely check out the Keys or Backstage Safari. Highly recommended.

Have a great time on the trip. And enjoy the Poly...definitely my fave resort.

Enjoy your trip. Since you are staying at the Poly, you might want to try the Kona Cafe for breakfast. It was really good. I hope you like San Angel Inn as well. It does get mixed reviews but we actually liked it.:)

I am very interested in KTTK and I know you liked it a lot...maybe we'll do it the trip after this upcoming one.

I've heard good things about Kona...I'll have to check the menu to see if we're interested.
San Angel Inn definitely does get mixed reviews but we love it...one of our favorite, especially for the atmosphere.
