Sounds amazing. I'm glad to see you have some wiggle room in there and are flexible. Sometimes weather, exhaustion and other things play into a mega trip. The most I've done is 17 days and we've always altered something. No matter what 21 days, awesome. Can't wait to see what you have planned for each of those days and where you are looking to eat and attractions to see. So much to wish to see and do. Awesome trip.

I can see you will likely have some wiggle room on a few of those days to pack in some more things. Will you have hopper passes?

Yeah i can imagine us getting VERY exhausted haha, i remember my first time at WDW i couldnt get out of bed after the first 3 days. let everyone else go off shopping while i slept in.. i will be doing vlogs so i will most likely post them on the forum :)

not gonna lie, i have no idea what a park hopper is xD i think we have a 21 day disney pass, and then a 2 week pass for everything else that kicks in the 2nd week.

not sure what else to try and fit in yet, and as we are staying off site at the Rosen Inn we can't book any fast passes or dining experiences yet.

Park Hopper passes let you go between the 4 parks on the same day. Non park hopper passes only allow you into one park per day. An important feature to consider. Me, we always have hopper passes. We like the flexiblity to go between parks on same day given the close time of each.

Have you purchased the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World or subscribed to the Touring Plans website. Both good reads when planning.

Glad you enjoyed the show; I consider that real praise coming from a Disney expert like yourself. I went to the ABC web site tonight, and they had some clips I watched, but I couldn't figure out how to get the whole show to view on the computer. Oh well--at least I saw Dickvandyke's "Step in TIme" number-- an overall fabulous song and dance by all the entertainers. He is so amazing at his age to still do a few steps of that dance. Again, I just hope that they'll repeat this show again on TV, so I can view the entire thing, and then determine how much I liked or disliked it (overall).

Do you have on demand? If so it should be up by today.

OK gang, Princess 5K tutu day time...!!!!! :joyfull: ;)

So, starting out with the best of intentions to train, to eat better, to cut back on the beer, etc., for this whole thing, the reality of it is, it didn't quite go that way... :cautious: :D ;)
I gained a lot of the weight I had lost previous to the holidays back during the holidays and only lost about a third of it before the "race". I did some walking, but, not nearly as much as I should have. And, although I cut back on the beer, it wasn't by a whole lot, etc.... :oops:
That being said, I finished fine, walking the entire course, and felt awesome for having participated, but, I definitely want to do better next year. I want to be able to run most or all of it next year. It was the first time I've participated in an event like this, and now I get it...!!! :happy: :)

Anyway, without further ado, and as promised...tutus.....!!!!!!! :joyfull:

As I mentioned in a previous post, there were corrals A-F. Best I can determine, there were over 10,000 participants in just this one event.
Oldest DD, SonIL, and youngest DD were assigned to A, myself to E, and DS and DWifey to F. Once assigned, you can't step up, but, you can step down. So, I stepped down to F so I could be with DWifey and DS. As I also mentioned before, we know how to fix this for next year. ;)
As a result, SonIL had already crossed the finish line while they were just queueing up our corral for our official start...!!! :hilarious:
Also, DS and DWifey blew me away and finished about 15 mins. ahead of me... :oops: ;)

Anyway, right after I finished, I joined them all in the runners retreat tent for breakfast. :hungry:

Mission accomplished...!!! :happy:

Thank you for sharing and congrats on finishing. Seeing you're such a great sport I'm not using any of them as my Christmas card, maybe:D

After breakfast, we packed up our tutus, and everything else we didn't need (we proudly wore our "medals" all day long, though ;)) into one of two backpacks and a plastic bag, headed straight for Future World, and rented a locker.
We then went to meet a friend of our DDs from their workout program at TT. She lives in Orlando and has an AP. :)
After TT we did The Land, then Nemo.
Then, to Club Cool so I could get my Beverly fix...!!!!! :joyfull: :hungry:
After that, we were a bit hungry...those 5Ks'll really take it outta' ya'...! :D ;)
As I mentioned before, the only ADR we made for the entire trip was the Kona lunch early anni. gift for SonIL and oldest DD the day before.
So, the 7 of us decided to take a shot at a lunch walk up at Via Napoli...SCORE!!!!! :joyfull:
We were seated in less than 5 mins....!!! :)

It was all awesome-good food...!!! :hungry:

My eggplant parm and roasted potatoes... :)

Plus, I had a Moretti, and the others shared a pitcher of sangria...! :hungry:

We've never eaten at Via Napoli before, but, thoroughly enjoyed it. We will be back...! :happy: :)

After lunch, we headed for a ride on SSE. Oh,
How I wish it was as Magical as it used to be ;), but, I still love it so...! :happy:

After that, it was time for DDs friend to head for her younger DSs school and for us to head back to the resort for some chill time. After all, unlike @figmentfan423, we're not used to gettin' up at 3:30a...! :D ;) :)

OK gang, will post the rest of Princess 5K tutu day, and our DSprings half-day tomorrow...
Have a Magical night...!
Laterrrrrrr...!!! :)
