Editors note: my laptop and iPhone are not cooperating so I have to two step each post - so do not be surprised to see only text or only pictures for a few minutes until I can edit the post to complete it.

WHAT (Day 2 onward):

So after finishing up at Epcot on day 1 ( Illuminations for whomever can stay awake - walk to the Dolphin) we will be up early to get to:

Day 2: MK
So if you have followed along on previous Christmas trips or heard my advice (ad nauseum) to other travellers going at Christmas our approach to the parks is simple.

Early start + standby only + return to hotel + FP in early afternoon/evening
The reason is the ability to get a "good" FP after your first 3 is limited at this busy time and we would rather not stand in long lines later in the day.

So our first planned event is lunch at BOG
We could not get a table for 6 so we actually have 3 reservations for 2 (at the same time)
We are calling this our "Date Night at Disney" - even though it is lunch ;)

Dinner is JNCLSCD - Jungle Navigation Co Ltd Skipper Canteen Dinner - at 6pm

Followed by SDMT at 7:15, Space at 8:55 and Big Thunder at 10:10

But we also have 3 Multiple Experiences FP each!! - good for most FP at MK
How you say?

Well the Canadian ticket thing was an IT nightmare
I switched the tickets, and received the refund but the first tickets were not removed from the app
At one point all 12 tickets were still on my DME and 6 were mine, 2 for Jordan and 1 each for everyone else
But I had 5 of the Cdn one and Jordan had 1.
This was going to awkward to book FP
After 4 calls to IT - all over 30 min - one over 55 - I finally got it sorted out - 3 days before on booking day!!
So as a peace offering they gave us the extra FP

Looking forward to seeing HEA - have not had the pleasure yet
Otherwise it will be fun to introduce Jordan to the first of the WDW parks

Quick question for anyone who has done ROL with FP

Any suggestion on where to sit (high or low) to try to see the show

It is our first and only time so any/all advice is welcome

Hi! I'm a long-time reader but this MIGHT be my first comment. I agree with Tuvalu - I think the view is better closer to the water.

I am honoured that your first post was done on my PTR
Agreeing with @Tuvalu is a safe bet and a good way to make friends
She is one of the cool kids you know
