October WDW Trip
My best friend and I are settling into adulthood. She just turned thirty, works/travels for event planning purposes, and was recently told by a psychic she'd meet her man next year (take that with a grain of salt, if you must). I got married during Indiana's quick dalliance with gay marriage at the end of June to my boyfriend of almost four years, and we want to throw a proper reception, buy a house, and begin growing our family. Angela and I used to work for a large hotel company which afforded us lots of travel benefits and fun quick excursions, but we haven't had a chance to get away together in a few years. So, this October we are waving goodbye to our 20s the best way we know how: Walt Disney World!
This is us at her thirtieth, psychic-themed birthday, where she got the aforementioned boo-thang prognostication and I was told I'd go on an amazing trip this fall.
When I'm not dreaming of all things WDW, I stay busy as a high school English teacher so we are taking the trip during my fall break; our dates are 10/15-10/20. It's not a super long trip, but we are both veterans: Angela grew up with two siblings in the Disney college program which meant numerous visits, and this trip makes round six for me with my last visit being in July 2013. The last trip was my husband's first ever visit, and he wasn't a huge fan; I even chilled on going rope drop to close every day so we could sleep in more often for him. Angela and I share the same WDW feelings so it'll be nice to go with someone a bit more touring-simpatico.
My previous stays have been either off-property, the Dolphin, or Beach Club, but we are trying to stay a bit more budge with All-Star Music. I don't leave home without the Dining Plan in place because it makes paying for food one less thing to worry about in the bubble. We are loading our luggage up with some top-grade hooch and having Garden Grocer deliver a case of beer. No rental car or leaving the World at all during our visit.
There are quite a few things I'm looking forward to on this trip:
-Angela's first visit to WDW in about ten years. She actually wants to ride Stitch's Great Escape.
-First time doing EPCOT's Food and Wine Festival
-First time attending MNSSHP (all these damn acronyms)
-First time not going during the summer. Pumped for slightly-lighter crowds and slightly-reduced heat.
I will update later this week with our schedule and ADRs. Until then, please feel free to share any suggestions or comments. This is my first time with the whole trip report thing so feedback is welcome.
Thanks!
