Trip Report Doing it Live One Last Time! It's Our "Let's Try Some New Things" Summer Adventure to Disney World

Since its already after nine and we are getting up at 2:45 for our drive from the Lehigh Valley to the Philadelphia airport, I figured I'd get the beginning details of our trip posted.

Our flight is scheduled for 6:50 am arriving in Orlando at 9:20. Ive been looking all week on the SWA site, and it has shown this flight arriving early each morning this week!

Our first resort is AKL. We plan on dropping off the kid's carry on bags at bell services, trying to check-in, then heading straight to the MK. We have FP+ for Peter Pan at 12:30, followed by lunch at the Plaza at 1. After lunch, we have FP+ for SDMT and Space Mountain. Crystal and I were able to ride the mine train twice during the 24 hours in May, but that was an adults only trip (really wish I had done a live TR for that trip), so this will be a first for Brayden and Madelyn.

We have a week long stay planned at AKL before moving to GF for a week and finishing up a relaxing resort only stay at YC. We never just did resort only activities in WDW, so this will be a first for us.

Other firsts this trip will be both water parks, La Nouba, and Harambe Nights. We also have The Frozen activities planned in HS.

We are trying a few new restaurants as well. As I stated in the countdown thread, we have no plans on a trip to WDW or DL anytime soon. We really want to see and do many of the things we always talk about, but somehow never end up doing.

Have a good night everyone, and I'll be posting as time allows in the morning. Really excited for this trip!

Madelyn, Crystal, and I just watched Wishes from our balcony. Awesome. We liked the view better than from the Contemporary. Just amazing how Disney surprises you. Never expected this view. The fireworks just seemed so much closer from here! Loved it :)
A few weeks ago at contemporary I was able to sync wishes up with youtube on my phone so we had the music too! (not sure if you can hear the GF music or not)

Getting lunch at Pizzafari early because dinner at Paradisio is at 4

We were talking to Carrie, who was filling our order, about school. She told the kids she's a teacher and asked if they liked school. They said yes. She returned with these treats :)

Wow! Pictures are absolutely gorgeous coach!

Trip report is as awesome as it should be :)

Animal Kingdom: haven't been there since 2002 I think. May reconsider on my next trip. Who knows!
Thanks. We are having a blast!
