So...I go a lot. Living as close as I do, I hit the parks regularly.....in fact, I've got about 6 trips before I get to this one. The DW recently talked some sense into me (talked me out of Deadwood or San Antonio Riverwalk - where I was thinking of - Wildhorse Pass and Rawhide was also an option - but we've done that before), and I'm actually excited. More excited about this one than I think I am about the others.
I usually go for 3-5 nights, and steer clear of June through mid-August.
For this one I'm booking mid-July. For 7 nights. And- I'm not going to a single park (caveat, briefly to WS). We're just going to immerse ourselves in the Disney "bubble" for a split stay (actually 3 properties).
Here's where I'm at right now:
Day 1 (Sun) - Poly. Check In. Hit the pool. Dinner at Kona. A Lapu Lapu or three then watch the MK Fireworks by the beach.
Day 2 (Mon) - Poly. Ohana breakfast. More pool time. Late afternoon monorail resort hop. Some shopping, Citrico's, and dinner either at Narcoossee's or California Grill (catching more fireworks).
Day 3 (Tues) - Check Out of Poly. Check into Yacht Club around noon-ish. More pool time. A bite (and a drink or three) at Hurricane Hanna's. Freshen up and a pontoon boat to catch (and say goodbye) Illuminations. Late Night bite at ESPN club or the pizza window.
Day 4 (Wed) - Yacht Club. Breakfast Cape May. Over to WS for a quick Macallan (or three) at Rose and Crown and possibly over to France. Resort hoping around Boardwalk. Early dinner at Yachtsman or Shula's. Movie on the lawn at BW and a night cap (or three) at Abracadabra. Catching the double whammy of EPCOT and DHS fireworks.
Day 5 (Thur)- Check out Yacht Club - Check into POR. Pool time 'Ol Man Island. Boat to DS. Shopping. Dinner and drinks (or three) at Edison, Raglan, or Art Smith's.
Day 6 (Fri) - POR. Breakfast Sassagoula. A little time at 'Ol Man Island. Drive to FW in the afternoon. Petting Zoo, early show Hoop Dee Doo. Back to POR for a night cap (or three) with Yehaa.
Day 7 (Sat) - POR. Morning beignets at POFQ. Drive to AKL. Animal watch for a bit. Lunch Sanaa. Drive back to POR. Carriage ride and dinner at Boatwrights. Movie.
Day 8 (Sun) - Sassagoula breakfast - Check Out. Drive to DS. More shopping, more drinks (or three), late afternoon/early evening meal at TRex or Raglan. Drive home.
Anything else any of you would recommend to squeeze in?
