Hey everyone!! So what do you do after you have been hit by three snowstorms in as many weeks...you start a pre trip report to get super excite for your trip! This winter is definitely killing me!
I'm Gina and this is my hubby Scott:
We went last February and stayed a week at Bay Lake Tower and had an amazing time! We also said after the last trip we would take a disney break for a couple of years
. Well...right before Thanksgiving, Scott lost his job. It was pretty unexpected and right before the holidays we were super stressed out. Thankfully, a month later he got a job...and around the same time my mom let me know she had some DVC points and asked us if we wanted to go. After being beyond stressed while he was out of work we said absolutely! His new job gave him a week of paid vacation off the bat, so we were good to go!
The plan.....
We will be staying at BLT from March 2nd-7th and then AKL kidani village from March 7th-9th. When we went to book they didn't have a lot of availablity, so we were lucky to be able to get a BLT split stay. This will be Scott's first time staying at AKL, and I have not been there in about 10 years. So last night I brought up the idea to Scott to maybe fly down the day before, since we both have the day off. I really want to shop and spend one day outside the world! Southwest has no changing fees...and I found a really good deal on a hotel and a convertible for the night...so he agreed!
So we'll fly down, go shopping, hang out and then the next day return the car and take DME to BLT. My brother and his GF are going to be a Vero Beach that week, and then will be spending a few days in Disney with us.
We will not be doing any DDP. So, we only have two ADRs so far: Trattoria al Forno( the old Kouzzina) and San Angel Inn with my bro and his GF. We have an itinerary for fast passes, but we always just go with the flow of what we want to do that day. Any other ADRs we will make in the park with the disney app. Obviously we will not get the real popular ones, but we've done this the past few times and it has worked out fine. We definitely want to go back to Jelly Rolls one night.Maybe a mini drinking around the world, I always try but get two drinks in and then I'm done. No crazy planning this trip...much more relaxed than in the past! So less than three weeks...hopefully I can survive until then! I think I have forgotten what sunshine and grass look like!
