Pre-Trip Report
Today was the first day I could make ADR’s so I figured this is as good a time as any to start a pre-trip report.
WHO: Me (Paula) and DH (Gary)
WHEN: January 21-February 10, 2025
WHERE: Fort Wilderness (with our camper)
WHY: I know I don’t even really have to answer that question here, but I will. DH wants to go to the Daytona 500 again and he knows that the trade-off is a trip to Disney first. (We did this for the first time in Jan/Feb of 2022.)
While we will be at Fort Wilderness for 21 days, we are only purchasing 10 day park hopper tickets. On our previous trip, we stayed for two weeks while visiting the parks 10 days. We decided we didn’t have enough time to just relax and enjoy all the Fort has to offer and said next time we would add a week.
This morning was the first day I could make any ADR’s so I scheduled the days I could. I still have 4 more ADR’s to make and will just do them as those days become available to me.
Here is what I scheduled:
Jan 22 Hoop Dee Doo 6:15
23 Homecomin’ 11:30
25 Biergarten 2:00
28 Liberty Tree Tavern 1:00
30 50’s Prime Time Cafe 2:00
31 Beaches & Cream 3:00
To be scheduled:
Feb 2 Round Up Rodeo
3 Crystal Palace breakfast
5 Via Napoli
8 Whispering Canyon Cafe breakfast
I have a schedule of park and non-park days. I have a pretty good idea of which park for each day(including park hopping), especially at the beginning of the trip. I’m a little more go with the flow towards the end, so we can just go back and spend time where we feel the need. Of course, this has me stressing over Lightning Lanes. I just don’t know that I want to shell out the cash for all 10 days. I’m pretty sure I’m going to purchase LLS and LLMP for the first few days at least so we can make sure we get everything in. I’m just not sure we need it the whole trip. We will have 10 days and we aren’t traveling during a high crowd season. Thoughts on this??
