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!

About to make the walk back to the room

Hope to get our luggage checked in early tomorrow so we can do lunch at Beaches and Cream before catching the ME

Hey Coach,
Hope it all works out for you and you make B&C. How did you like concierge level at the YC? Thank you for taking us along, it was a wonderful primer for our trip coming up. I just want to let you know you guys set the bar pretty high! @teachmph and I will be going in 13 days. I'll do my best to post a live TR so you guys can follow along. Maybe it will serve as a vicarious extension of your vacation as well.
Safe travels and enjoy!!

Thanks. The UC Regatta Club level was just ok. Very small. I'm in no hurry to stay club here again. I'd rather a room on the other side of the resort closest to HS looking over the water. Love the YC resort, the club didn't do it for me here

Coach, we did club level at AKL last year and loved it. Sorry to hear about the YC experience, but we also used the heck out of the Concierge desk even before we got to the resort. I'll be missing the club level this time, it's a nice splurge. We will look into the cruse.

Loved AKL club. We've stayed there a few times. We've stayed club at BC, BW, Contemp, and GF as well. This is very similar to BC. Wouldn't stay club at either again. Just too small. The others yes, but not BC or YC
