Pre-Trip Princesses vs. the Yeti trip!

Hello All,
Well, I only have 8 more days to get ready - so what better way then with a pre-trip report!!! I want to try a post as you go report as well and I now see we can post photos so lets see how that goes.

Who:
RickP - Myself 42YO male, Mechanical Engineer by trade
Maureen - My DGF School teacher by trade
Danielle - My DD 6 yearold Mirmaide wanna be, entering 1st grade this fall

The Trip:
7 days at AKL Club level

Last year just DD and I went to WDW and she is/was a roller coaster chicken. I almost tricked her to go on EE last year - but she didn't fall for it. Since then the "Yeti" has been a subject of folk lore. So we really started watching POV on youtube on the apple TV and we have since mastered the ride (at least on the couch!) so she promises me this year we are going to "trick" the Yeti. We don't talk out loud about it, but we wisper to eachother that we do the ride together and suprise the Yeit. I hope so, it would be cool - lets see if it pans out. Maureen helps alot, she really pulls DD out of her shell - I hope so I think we would all have a blast if we can get her on exciting rides!

Besides that she (DD) is a disney princess freak! All of the princesses are lined up. We have BBB and CRT all set as well.

For ADR's we have the following:

Day 1 - Citricos, Fireworks desert party
Day 2 - BOG
Day 3 - BBB, Brown derby - fantasmic package
Day 4 - CRT, Rose and Crown Illuminations reservation
Day 5 - Spirit of Aloha
Day 6 - SS, Yak and Yeti (of course the YETI!!), Jinko
Day 7 - Kona Kafe (Tonga toast here I come!)

The only thing I am strugling with at the moment is that EE won't be untill the 6th day. I already have DD primed up to ride it now, I think once she does it will break the seal and we should be able to ride anything we want at that point, after all I think EE is one of scariest rides. I don't think I will hit her with RR, ToT yet thought.

We have a plan to possible hit EE on the very first day very first thing, but we really wanted to relax and enjoy the resort on our first day. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for following!!

Suddenly she is into snorkeling!! And we never got to a water park this year. Instantly I thought of typhoon lagoon n the snorkeling pool. Reconsidering the agenda to squeeze that in. Maybe a pov on YouTube is in order...

Ahh, we watched the POV on youtube of the sharks reef snorkeling. She was a little scared of it, so maybe we will save that for next time. I guess the schedule survives the way it is!!

Oh! and the Pricess Sophia dresses in 7/8 sizes are now in! Placed our order with 3 day shipping so we should have it in time! The BBB will do the Pricncess sophia package, but they don't have the dress package, so it's actually cheaper this way. We will bring the dress with us! No shoes yet though, we will have to figure something out!!!

I won't tell my daughter she can get of these dresses. She would be totally begging constantly. Haha

It's actually cheaper to buy the dress and bring it with us then buying it at BBB. So I am actually getting out cheaper this way (BBB doesn't have the dress yet - and the MK BBB doesn't offer the Sophia the first package yet). So I am bringing the dress and getting her the crown pacakage at the MK BBB.

Hi Guys,

Well I guess it has officially started! Last day of work was a half day on Wed. yesterday, I got to spend the morning at the airplane park with my buddies. Then in the afternoon I went to lunch with My DGF and she twisted my arm into getting a pedicure at a foot spa!!! It was actually quite relaxing and nice way to start the vacation!! Then we took out the convertible and went for a nice drive along dune road and dinner on the water. Our plane leaves tomorrow and I pick up DD in a few hours!!!

So I guess I should start a real trip report or can I just convert this thread????
