Pre-Trip My Triumphant Return PTR

I know I have 5 1/2 months till my trip but I couldn't resist to post at PTR. So first, a little back story:

My Wife and I went to WDW several times throughout the 90s, we even went on our honeymoon there. We then started going with our son in 2007 and went every year after that till, 2011, even including myself running the WDW marathon twice in 2009 and 2011. Then we had to be on a budget due to building our new country home. When finished, in 2013 we returned for one night last December for MVMCP. So now we are returning for a little bit longer time with our son who will be 14 on November 15th, while we are there. So, that is a little history of my family.

Who's going:
Me (39)
My Wife (38)
My Son (13 upon arrival, 14 upon departure)
My Niece (12, not for sure, still have to ask my brother and my SIL)

The Game Plan :
We're going on November 14th, 2014. We plan to leave my home in Hahira, GA (25 minutes from the GA/FL line. 3hrs. and approx. 19 mins. from WDW) at 7:00am. If we arrive on time we should arrive by 10:30am. We might not be able to check in at Coronado Springs then so we'll see, but I am hoping our room will be ready and we can go to the online check in desk to move along with the process. The day we want to eat lunch at the CSR food court, Pepper Market, it seems interesting because of its unique options. Then we are heading straight to DHS for the afternoon. We plan to eat at Pizza Planet that night see Fantasmic, and see the spectacle of lights. Next day, is our Epcot day, we are trying something new this trip, ROPE DROP!!!! We hope to make it to Epcot by 8:15am to be some of the first people into the park. We are also this trip eating breakfast in the room every morning early! We hope to eat lunch at Yorkshire Fish Shop for lunch and dinner at Garden Grill for our 7:45pm ressie and then see Illuminations for our Epcot day. Next day, is our MK day which will be a long day. Again, we hope to make rope drop and hit the headliners. At least, we have no interest in meeting Anna and Elsa, although I love Frozen! We have a lunch ressie at Crystal Palace at 1:15pm. This morning we are eating at Main Street Bakery instead of in the room. We then hope to eat dinner at Cosmic Ray's before our night at MVMCP. For our final day, we will check out and visit AK. We plan to do all the attractions will like there and then eat at the Tusker House at our 11:25am and then leave AK around 2pm for home. So, we get there on the 14th and then leave on the 17th. I know its short but that is all I need to be happy although I'd love more. Sorry for no pictures. Look for my TR around Thanksgiving during my week off. :):):):D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

It sounds like a great trip! I wish I only had a 3 and a half hour drive to get to WDW, I am looking at over 20 for us to get down to Disney for our New Years trip.

Sound like a nice a sweet trip in November and very thoughtful to take your niece with you if you get her parents blessing.

Sounds like fun! Do you think you are going to make a trip report. If you are, I would love to read it! I'm really jealous of how close you are to WDW. LOL!
