Pre-Trip The Byers take over WDW for two months

Ok, not really but it sure is exciting to think that we will be in the happiest place on earth over two months :D:p:cool:

We are split staying this year so I have a chance to stay at my first ever deluxe resort. On this trip will be me, DW, DS14 & DS12.

Our plan driving from Wilmington, NC:

Check in early afternoon 6/25 (Saturday) at AS Movies (we normally do our entire stay at a moderate but we decided to live a little this year!)

We have an ADR @ 6:15 at Morimoto Asia and I am quite excited to eat here. DW and her best friend ate here last month on her mothers day trip she took without the kids and she raved about the place. We plan on shopping the rest of the evening.

6/26: AK day

We have FP's setup for Disney Pals @ Adventurers Outpost, EE and Jungle Book and plan on just easing our way thru the park and eating whenever the mood strikes us and if we get there at 11 so be it as we are planning on staying till park close.

6/27: MK

Another plan on late morning as we are planning on staying till park close.

FP's @ Buzz, PPF & 7DMT and a 1:25 ADR at BOG

6/28: Epcot

We will be checking OUT of AS Movies and checking IN to Wilderness Lodge. I am so darn excited about staying there I just can't stand it.

Planning on a 10:30ish arrival with FP's @ MS, Disney Pals Characters, Soarin' and a 3:30 ADR at Beaches and Cream. Sometime during the day I hope to sneak in and do the Behind the Seeds Tour as well.

6/29: MK


Yep, my wife's fav park and I was happy to get two days at Epcot in this trip so :happy:
Planning on an early arrival at the park as we have an ADR @ BOG at 8:25 and have FP's set up for BTMRR, Buzz and SM. Really am looking forward to riding the boat back to WL for our 6:40 ADR at Whispering Canyon. As well as watching the Electric parade and fireworks from the beach.

6/30: Epcot

Will be a late arrival as we plan to close the parks down and be some of the last to leave. FP's set for Frozen, SE and MS. We hope to really explore the WS and get a great spot for Illuminations.

7/1: HS

Our last park day. We decided to do HS's because of EMH's and really wanting to see Fantasmic as an end to our trip. We have FP's for TSM, TTT, ST and hope the standby time isn't too terrible for RnRC.

7/2: Checkout day

Hoping for a bite to eat at Roaring Fork followed by a 9 hour drive back to the beach where our neighbors will be setting up for a 7pm annual neighborhood 4th of July BBQ complete with live music this year. Thank goodness the 4th is on Monday because the entire day of the 3rd I will prob be sleeping!

I will try my best to post pics and daily updates. We will see how this goes.

Ok, so here goes with a trip report while actually being on property. So our above plan, well we pretty much changed it around because we grew impatient and came yesterday for an extra night because why not?!?

Left Wilmington, NC and arrived at Dianey Springs at 2pm and made a beeline for Earl of Sandwich because we needed to eat! We had stopped at 6:30am on the road and hold out till we got here, man that was one great wrap, the spicy tuna roll is to die for! We went on and checked into AS Movies around 4:30, got settled in and hit the pool to relax.

This morning we made it to DHS's at 8:30 and made it to RnRC after park opening. We rode it twice back to back with about a 15 min wait each time. Then headed over to ToT for our FP. Decided for the heck of it to check RnRC afterwards and sure enough rode it again with about a 20 min wait. By this time I decided I needed to hit guest relations to get my birthday pin because typically we aren't here during it so I wanted my pin! Much to my surprise the CM gave me a voucher for free ice cream! That was a tasty treat I didn't expect!

We watched the 11am of Beauty and the Beast next!

We headed over to our 11am FP for TSM and enjoyed beating DS12 & DS14 showing them ole dad still has a few tricks up his sleeve!

Left there to check out the Launch Bay and did both character meets and Kylo Ren scared my wife half to death telling her over and over again to "zip it!" As she kept laughing.

Left there and hit a few stores on Hollywood Blvd, jumped on a boat and headed over to the Bordwalk to check a few stores out. Left and headed back to HS's for our 3:50 ADR at 50's Prime Time. The sampler sure hit the spot!

It was after this we went to our last FP of the day to Star Tours, unfortunately it was down so we headed over to Muppets and back to ST's and they said it was down for quite awhile. Bummed we went to Mickey & Minnie's meet and greet, checked out Path of the Jedi and a few more shops.

It was then my wife and DS12 decided to go back to the resort and me and DS14 headed over to ToT and waited about ten min to ride, then over to RnRC in the single riders line and was on in less than ten minutes!

Afterwards used our ST's FP to get into Fantasmic at 7:30 and am sitting here at 8:12 waiting for the show!
