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!

I am sure you are ready for a break. That looked like an action packed morning. I am learning a lot from your family on how to plan a day at the parks to make the most valuable use of time. Seems like good planning can maximize time spent and reduce stress.

No doubt. That and an early morning start. You can accomplish a lot by being at the parks for opening!

Breakfast at CRT was a big disappointment food wise today. It's always been a favorite of ours and I was really looking forward to it. But it's a big downer when at 8:20 am the food is already served cold and dry. I guess we expected so much better based on past experiences there and such good dining on this trip so far. Anyway, a few of the princesses we met.

Looks like you are still all having a blast! Gaston certainly is a great meet and greet he had everyone in stitches last time we were there with his quick witty answers. Enjoy the rest of your trip - I am still following along.

He really was good. We only met him once before this trip, and now twice this trip. He was spot on both times.

Great report, and beautiful family (I've also been back to look at some of,your previous reports).

At the risk of being nosy, wondering why this is your last trip (at least for years).
