Hello!
We are getting so close to being able to make FP, but I couldn't wait any longer to share our plans. We have an exciting trip coming up!
First off, the crew:
Me, DW, our DS4 and my parents, Mom and Dad. We've all been before lots of times. It will be DS's 3rd trip. We are staying at the boardwalk in a 2-bedroom villa. My mom's DVC home is Boardwalk. I really wanted to be at Beach Club, but we couldn't get it. It's ok. The clown slide isn't too creepy... Everyone but my dad has an AP and we have a tables in wonderland card that we bought on our trip in April. We plan to do a lot of eating.
So we all arrive on the 23rd, which is a Friday. We should be to the resort around lunch time. We will hopefully be able to check out the room, but if not we will drop the bags and head for Epcot. We will try for a frozen or Soarin FP for the afternoon. We have dinner reservations at Teppan Edo then might walk around, or if it's too busy we will head back to the hotel for a swim before bed.
The next morning is an early morning breakfast at Akershus. Yay princesses! DS loves meeting all of the characters. He does not care if he has no idea who they are. He tells them things and often he and the princesses have whispered conversations. He never tells us what they said! We'll do all the lovely Epcot things. My dad requested a meal at Biergarten, so we have that lined up for dinner. It's not my favorite. My little family unit doesn't eat pork, so German sausages doesn't really do it for us, but I like to see my dad happy. After dinner we will probably head back to the room. Saturday food and wine and a 4 year old probably don't mix that well.
Sunday is an Animal Kingdom day. We will probably head over early. Ride some rides and see some critters. We have a lunch reservation at Sanaa, so we'll explore over there a bit and take a break from rides. We have Dinner at Tiffins and will probably go back to the room after that. We have evening plans for AK later in the week.
Monday is a half-rest day. Maybe we can sleep in. We have lunch reservations at the Boathouse in Disney Springs. We would like to do the balloon ride and look around. In the evening we have the illuminations dessert party. Chairs would be nice, but we aren't fancy. I can sit on the ground.
Tuesday is an early morning, but we are finally headed to the Magic Kingdom! I'm honestly not sure that we will make it this far into the trip without heading over there. We shall see. We have a breakfast in the castle! I'm not excited about the food, but DS is excited about the castle. The current plan is to head back to the hotel for some down time in the afternoon. We will either get some dinner at the Boardwalk Bakery, or keep our Tusker House reservation. I will cancel it well ahead of we decide we don't need it. We will be going to the DVC evening activities and thought it might be nice to start with dinner. We shall see.
After all that fun we have a pool day scheduled for Wednesday. DW and I have a yachtsmans reservation for dinner and DS and the grandparents have a Beaches and Cream reservation.
Thursday we have a breakfast at Cape May Cafe and then an open schedule. We might hit MGM. We are going to the Halloween party, so nothing too strenuous.
Friday we may head over to MK in the afternoon and we have Hoop-De-Doo reservations. We love this show. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it. We try to go every trip.
Our last day is Saturday. Our flight out is fairly late, I'm expecting the bus to retrieve us around 4:30pm, so we will go into Epcot. We have a lunch reservation at te garden grill. DW doesn't really like the spinning, but our very best character interactions have been at this restaurant.
So obviously there's a lot to fill in and things may change. We're super excited!
