I love to write, and I'm running out of things to micromanage for my October trip, so I thought I'd have a go at a Pre-Trip Report!
A little background. I spent a semester in Paris last year, and for the first time in my life I lived within a commutable distance of a Disney park. So of course I bought myself an annual passport (in Paris these pay for themselves in 2-3 single day trips), got myself a 2-week seasonal stint in food and beverage for Halloween, and overindulged in my two favorite things - Disney and France. I miss it terribly, but now I'm sitting here in the U.S. living vicariously through Twitter soaking in all of the long overdo maintenance and updates DLP is finally getting!
The whole time, my wonderful mother was living vicariously through me, and since we hadn't been to the World in a few years, we decided a Halloween-ish trip was in order!
When we first booked we were undecided about where we wanted to stay, so we picked the All-Star Music so we would at least have somewhere to sleep. We're normally a value family (although not exclusively), but since it's just the two of us, and we'll only be staying for 4 nights, we decided to splurge and upgrade to a moderate when something at POFQ opened up. I kept making tweaks along the way to save money, so now we're doing a split stay at Coronado Springs and Port Orleans French Quarter! This is the fifth incarnation of our resort reservation, but now since we're getting closer and the fall room discounts came out, we think this plan will stick! I'm pumped because it will be my first time for both resorts!
(on a side note - I know CS is sprawling, so I would welcome any suggested room requests!)
I had a little too much fun with my ADRs...I think we have 8ish for our 5-day trip, including Be Our Guest, Teppan Edo, and Biergarten! I guarantee we won't be using all of them, especially since we'll be eating and drinking our weight at Epcot during F&W, but I like to have them to be safe!
What's next? FP+, MNSSHP ticket + costume (once I finalize my class schedule for the fall, since the ticket is non-refundable), and potentially Keys to the Kingdom!
Let's see how long I can keep this up!

Papier hier!
And for a part in the same resort 
), and it was life-changing! I need to go back!
