Love your first day plans!
Sounds like a fabulous 1st day I am looking forward to trying a Grey Goose slushie for the first time in August
Sounds like a great first day!
For some reason, I really like starting my trip at AK. I actually really like the afternoon parade. It's one of my favs!
Yeah for EE followed by Y&Y. Have you tried the fried green beans? Heaven on a plate!
Great first day plans, Michelle. I love the idea of checking ini and then heading to the AK. I've heard that the park empties out after the parade. We loved Yak & Yeti when we were there in 2008 (I still haven't been able to get it back on our schedule.
I have a feeling you'll stay at the pool so that Jared has some pool time; you can always get a cocktail at the pool.
Great day one plans. I think for most of us DISers that we have trouble sleeping the night before we leave for Disney!
I think going over to AK is a great idea. I noticed during our past trip how much the park clears out after 4 or so. I think that's a great strategy. Also, try to go to the last safari. We did, and we saw so many animals up in the cooler evening.
Those pineapple/cream cheese wontons look yummy-licious!
Ooo, those wontons look delicious! Great first day plans.
Love your first day plans!
Day 1 sounds great and hurrah for free flights! Isn't it so cool to be able to pop into Epcot for a slushie and fireworks!?! No bus, monorail, boat needed! Soooo easy peasy. I'm warning you...you may get attached to that entrance! And it is even better on the way out when most are heading to the buses after Illuminations.
Great plans! The park sure does clear out. We went one year in the afternoon when we first arrived and it was dead (and this was spring break week!). We did one of the last safaris and saw many animals. In fact, I would say that it was our best one until this summer...in the rain...who knew?? They told us at the rope that the animals love the rain and they were right as it was hands down the absolute best safari we've ever had. So, go, even if it rains!!
Joining in! Your first day looks great.
What a nice first day! I'm with you - I will get up early without complaint if I'm heading to WDW! Free flights? Yup, that's a good thing!
We will be hitting AK on our first day this next trip too. I think it does empty out more after the parade. All those people who say it's a 1/2 day park can't do much else after that I guess.
I'm totally in Michelle! I know what's it's like to be married to a Disney Grump so am so excited you are getting another trip! Your first day plans sounds great.
Depending on what time Illuminations is scheduled you could swim and then hop over for you slush and fireworks from the bridge...
It's just too easy to use that entrance not to take full advantage!
Are you thinking you will use the path to get to the Studios on the day you plan to go there? We enjoy that walk early in the morning and the depending on how we are feeling at the end of the day take the boat or walk back...
I'm here! SInce I am so behind on all my DIS reading, not too sure how much I will be able to comment, but I'm here!
Fun, fun, fun first day plans! Arriving and then heading off to Animal Kingdom sounds lovely. I will be watching closely to see if AK is indeed empty after the parade so I can store that knowledge away.
Don't forget to add getting a drink at the Dawa Bar to your list.
Your first day sounds amazing!!! Starting off on a bang with EE...love it!

Finally caught up!!! Totally understand the hater
My ExDH was such a hater, I just went without him.
Now I don't have to hear the complainng.
I love the ealy flight- You should be all checked in by 2pm and heading out to AK.
You will LOVE BC. I absolutely fell in LOVE (even though I stayed there before) with the BC. Being my DVC home makes it even better.
Yes AK empties out after the parade. The parade is really a fun one. You should at least be in ear shot of the music.
Look at this, Disney is finally moving into the 21st century!
