Pre-Trip If she can do it so can I!

Apparently I steal other peoples ideas.

First it was @Tuvalu and her mother daughter trips. Now, after reading @kimberlymautz impromptu pre trip report I've decided why the hell not.

After reading @kimberlymautz report for kicks I looked to see what flights were and was surprised at the prices but not so surprised because it was Spirit Airlines. I then went to the DisneyWorld site and found that I could really make this happen. So what did Teresa do? Teresa booked a trip to DISNEY!

First it was just going to be me: Teresa

And my oldest Emily:

We had decided on this trip in just a few hours. Now I had to tell my other half. While trying to tell him I was going to go on a little mini trip without him he let me know that, "um... hey, I want to go". Now you have to understand. He likes Disney relaxing trips not Disney rush around the Park trips. I explained this to him and he was still wanting to go and since he's been nice lately I thought that he deserved to go.

So, Joe will be joining us (he can't take a serious picture whatsoever) :

@fractal I doubled checked, that is Joe's pointer finger not his middle.

The when: September 25-28th

The where: All Stars Movies - I keep saying I won't stay in a value again but honestly the values are nice. The only thing I don't care for is when we are on a "relaxing" trip I want a more relaxed pool area with a little less screaming and palm trees and ambience and palm trees and beautiful walkways. I love the landscaping of some of the moderates and deluxe resorts, but I digress.

The other where: This is our first "half trip" due to work and other commitments we will be going to just two parks. Emily picked. Epcot and Animal Kingdom. I know, I know but what do I do.

So.. Just read that Space 220 is open to walk ups only on our Epcot day. I'm guessing chances will be slim but I'd like to try to get us in. So if anyone has any suggestions or inside tips I'd love to hear them!
Just heard due to the cluster yesterday they are having a semi-virtual queue for the remaining days.
You go to the check in person and are given a choice for a later time to come back. (So it sounds like you might still need to get there early to reserve a spot for later).
Kinda sounds like they might have just used the novel idea of reservations to me. 🤷‍♀️

I haven't heard this yet but it's very good news. There is no way I'm waiting in line for 4 hours. At least this way we may have a small chance of getting a return time. It depends on how fast Emily wants to hustle to get there. Joe doesn't really care one way or the other and while I'd like to see it I won't be too upset if we can't get in. Thanks for letting me know!

Disney just announced that starting Sunday they will be doing "soft openings" of early entry hours so maybe Space 220 will be obtainable. Again this all depends on how bad Emily wants it and how much she cares what she looks like running there. Honestly I only want to try appetizers and a drink. We'll see.

I'm also taking a moment to think about @kimberlymautz while she is currently at Disney today since she is the reason behind my trip.

1 day to go!

Is the lounge open? Since it's a prefix menu in the restaurant, you can't just get appetizers and drinks if you go to the restaurant. But if you go to the lounge, you can, and there are no reservations for the lounge. But I know the lounge wasn't open the first day and I don't know if it's already open. But that might be a good option for you if it is?

Oohhh, I didn't think of that. Thanks. We definitely don't want to have the prefix meal. Emily and Joe are both excited about Food & Wine so we don't plan on having a sit down meal but graze all day long.

Max,

We just got home, showered and relaxing on the front porch. We had a fantastic time and I still can’t believe we were there. I’ll make a little report on everything we did but you’ll have to wait. 😁 it’s not a selfie but me enjoying a Kung Fu Master from the China booth.

My husband had the Kung Fu master too, he enjoyed it. He let me have a sip, it was tasty.
