So I've been reading trip reports on this site for a few months now and it's making me super excited to get our holiday underway. (Productivity at work has gone somewhat downhill since I discovered this site though!)
The details:
Who:
Me (Rebecca) - Never been to Disney World before (spent 5 days in DLP a couple of years ago). I am super organised and love a good plan (I have my touring plans all ready to go). Will try most rides, big or small, though Tower of Terror may be beyond me.
DH: Has been to Disney World twice as a child with his parents and siblings. Not a big Disney fan, and would rather holiday elsewhere, given the choice. Loves any thrill ride, and is over the moon about Starbucks opening on Main Street.
When:
October 5th-12th 2013
Where:
Port Orleans French Quarter
Why:
DH had a moment of weakness and agreed we could go, so we went to the travel agent that night and booked.
Other Info:
We booked through a UK travel agent, Thomsons. We got the counter service dining plan (it was free, so we figured why not?), and have a shuttle bus arranged from Sanford to the hotel and back again.
Although we're counter service, DH loves a good steak, so we've got ADR at Le Cellier the Monday of our trip.
We've also got Cirque du Soleil reservations on the Tuesday. We're very much get up for rope drop people, so I'm hoping we'll get some afternoon downtime to chill out and meander, even if we don't make it back to the hotel to nap.
The Unofficial Guide has become my Bible for this trip, I'm just waiting for my 2014 copy to turn up the first week of September.
Here is the draft plan for the week (based on seeing all the parades/fireworks, and Touringplans' crowd ratings):
Saturday:
Arrival at POFQ. No plans.
Sunday:
Animal Kingdom
Monday:
Epcot
ADR Le Cellier 4.40pm
Illuminations 9.00pm
Tuesday:
Chill out day
Cirque du Soleil 6.00pm
Wednesday:
Magic Kingdom
Electrical Parade and Wishes
Thursday:
Hollywood Studios
Fantasmic 8.00pm
Friday:
Magic Kingdom
Saturday:
Flight home

and I didn't want to overwhelm him with too much marching around! Basically it's likely to be his day to choose what we do (while I chose for every other day!)
