Its so refreshing to see others who plan everything out just as I do. My boyfriend always gets so mad at me for creating an itinerary for our Disney trips. & yours seem to be nearly exactly like mine.haha. You seem to be planning everything well & not spreading yourself to thin. I hope you have a fantastic time while your there!!

Great restaurant choices! I can't wait to hear about your trip.

The only thing I would point out is that on Sunday (5/31) you are planning a massive day....which will be SO fun! That next morning you may want to plan on sleeping in a bit more than 9 AM. I know I would need to or I'd be like this :fork: all day long.

Have fun!

First, congrats on your graduation. Second - Happy (early) anniversary.

My DH and I are 12 days out from our trip, staying at POR, celebrating our 16 years of wedded bliss. Your plans seem very doable. We try to plan but about the only thing we can set down for certain are our dates there and the ADR's. This trip DH, who is a big Star Wars fan, gets to do SWW twice.

Have a great trip. :wave:

Your trip sounds fabulous, tiring, but fabulous! (HA HA)

I'm curious about your cheat sheets. What are some of the things you include on yours?

Well, the "cheat sheet" is actually a collection of index cards on a keyring - i laminate each card and punch a hole in the corner

The first one has our names, phone numbers, emergency contact numbers, and medical information on them as well as the resort we are staying at. Then, it goes by day - for the first day, I put our flight information, (numbers, arrival and departure times, etc.) and our hotel confirmation number. In addition, I put our dining reservation time and confirmation code.
For each subsequent date I put our plan for the day (where we are going, what time the park is open to, etc.) and the dining information.
Finally, on the last day, we have the flight info again.

There is also one index card that is blank, and we carry around a sharpie marker with us. Whenever we get a photopass card, we right the number on the index card...last trip we ended up with 3 different cards and we wanted to make sure that we had all of the codes in case we accidentally lost the photopass card. I think that's pretty much it! It's really convenient and just slips right in our bag and has all of the info that we could possibly need. Plus, if we lose our bag for some reason, all of our info is easily accessible and it could be returned to us!

LOVE IT! GREAT IDEA! Think I'll do that for our upcoming trip. Thanks for the tip.

By the way, I just noticed your location! Bob was in Durham at NCCU Law all year, so I made a couple of trips to the area! BTW, I am in love with Streets at Southpoint!
