EDITED 07.07.17 - Photobucket has updated their policies so my photos aren't displaying. I'll try to switch them all over to Flickr eventually!
How early is too early for a pre-trip report? I’m pretty new here still. Sorry if I’m committing a forum faux pas.
Who am I kidding, I’m not sorry. I just want to spend more time thinking about my upcoming trip! My husband claims I spend about 60% of my free time thinking about or reading about Disney. He’s probably right, but I don’t see that as a bad thing! Speaking of my husband, he’s my travel buddy and fellow Disney fan, R. Our first trip was our honeymoon in 2012, and we got hooked.
Our 2015 trip is booked, and I’ve been counting down the days! It will come after a ridiculously busy wedding season (which has already begun), and will be a very welcome break for me.
From our honeymoon:
Who: Me (K) and R. Photographer and Engineer (you can tell from our careers how different we are)
When: September 28 – October 3
Where: Bay Lake Tower studio room, lake view
ADRs: Artist Point, California Grill (early anniversary dinner), San Angel
I’m still trying to get BOG for lunch one of the days that we’ll be in MK. I try two or three times a day, but no luck yet. If I don’t get it, I won’t be crushed, but I’d love to try it out. We’re also eating at Big River Grill one night, though it looked like they didn’t take ADRs. Rhett thought it sounded good, so we’re giving it a shot.
Transportation: Driving from Tennessee! I shoot a wedding the 26th, and we’ll leave the next morning. We will stay in an Orlando hotel the 27th then probably go to MK until our room is ready the 28th.
Tickets: We’ll get those later. Probably 5 day park hopper for R, and maybe an AP for me. I might take a girls trip in January, so I’m waiting to see if that is going to work out.
Other plans: MNSSHP
We try to be really easy-going with our trips because neither of us would have a good time if we rushed around everywhere. We make plans, but they are loose plans. The dining reservations are set, obviously, because we don’t want to be charged for a no-show, but when we make FPs, we don’t always use them. We’ve never ridden TSMM because I never wanted to get there at rope drop and rush back there. Then last year, we had FPs and the dang thing was closed during our window. By the time it was back, we’d left the park. So will 2015 be the year we ride TSMM? Maybe! We have done the one at DL, so we’re not desperate to do it.
I may post a few photos from our December trip last year. I didn’t know about the forums at that point to do a report. It was a fun trip! The weather during that one was AMAZING.
Ok, done rambling. Now I’ll get back to reading everyone else’s trip reports and pre-trip posts!

I tried to do all the FP+ early this time so we can wing it most of the day. Sometimes it's fun just to wander!
