Pre-Trip Two Overnight Disney Trips in One Month? Sure thing! (7/4-7/5/2023 & 7/19-7/22/2023 PTR)

Earlier today my mom called me, asking if I'd like to be at the Grand Floridian July 19-22 as she is attending a conference there! I knew I couldn't turn down the opportunity to stay at Disney's most eloquent Deluxe Resort! Add to this I had a 1 night trip already booked for July 4-5 at the Contemporary as since 2021, I've been to WDW every 4th of July (which is sorta of a Disney Tradition for me going forward).

However, this 4th of July will be the first trip where I will be taking advantage of Disney's new reservation free entry for APs after 2pm for Magic Kingdom given my arrival time! This should be pretty cool! However, the Grand Floridian was booked for the conference, so it looks like we'll be doing a double dip over at the Contemporary! ;D


So here's the plans
Trip 1
Dates: July 4-5, 2023
Hotel: Disney's Contemporary Resort
Amtrak Winter Park to Kissimmee (connect to Link 56 to TTC), Magic Kingdom on 4th of July
Epcot/MK on July 5th, Lynx/SunRail home to Lake Mary in afternoon/evening

Trip 2
Dates: July 19-22, 2023
Hotel: Disney's Contemporary Resort
I'll be doing Magic Kingdom & Epcot on Thursday, and Epcot & Magic Kingdom (or Hollywood Studios) on Friday, plus Animal Kingdom on Saturday I'll likely take my usual SunRail/Lynx routing on Wednesday.

Ok, after some consideration, I've decided on trip No.2's game plan to be as follows....

Wednesday July 19
I'll be stepping off at around 11:10am-ish, walking .5 miles from my house to the bus stop closest to my place (Neighborlink 851) to the Sanford Seminole Center, where the Walmart and Aldi are. I'll most likely grab Subway or Wendy's for lunch before hopping on Link 45 to the Lake Mary SunRail station, and in turn SunRail to LCS (with about a 25 minute layover between the time my train arrives and the time I board Link 300 to the TTC). From the TTC I will in turn take the Monorail to the Contemporary, and go to my room and unpack. I am thinking I will do Magic Kingdom in the evening as they're open until 12am for EEH. My mom will get in around 8-9pm ish and she will unpack.

Thursday July 20
This day my main focus will be Magic Kingdom & Epcot. I'll start out at Magic Kingdom, with Fantasyland being in bulk during EE and then focusing on Frontierland and Adventureland, lunch maybe Casey's or Columbia Harbor. I'll hop over to Epcot in the afternoon with a focus mostly being Future World. Me and my mom have an ADR for 9:15pm at California Grill!

Friday July 21
I'll be doing Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios that day! Epcot will be primarily World Showcase, and maybe GOTGCR. I have a lunch ADR that afternoon at Via Napoli. Later in the day, I'll head by boat or Skyliner over to Disney's Hollywood Studios to take that park on. I have an Oga's ADR for 6:15pm.

Saturday July 22
I might sleep in that day, and do a delayed start at Animal Kingdom, will get an ILL for FOP, and then knock down the remaining stuff before heading back to the Contemporary around 3:30pm to catch the monorail to the TTC and in turn Link 56 to Kissimmee and in turn Amtrak to Deland before catching an Uber back home (or my mom will take me home).

I'll more than likely do G+ for all four days, or just Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
