We will be splitting the day on Wednesday between Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios to catch anything we missed the first time in each of those parks. Im pretty sure that Morgan and her gang are headed to MK.
AK actually has morning EMH and opens at 8 am. I will mention that to our little group of 4 but I doubt they will want to rush to get there by 8. Since we hit all of the big rides on our previous day, there really is no need to make rope drop.
The four of us are huge animal fans so this morning will probably be dedicated to animal watching. We will walk both trails and probably head out to Rafikis Planet Watch since we skipped it in 2010. I actually havent been out there since 2011. Jocelyn has talked non-stop about the fruit bats since we saw them four years ago so I know we will be spend some time in that area.
We will definitely stop to see Flights of Wonder which was another thing we skipped in 2010.
Lunch will be CS at either AK or HS, whatever John & Jocelyn pick. I thought about busing to a resort to try something different but I think that will take too much time out of our day.
Once we get to HS our first FP+ is for Star Tours from 1 2 pm.
Ive decided that Im going to give Star Tours one more try. I got really sick when I rode it in March but it was after back to back thrill rides so Im hoping I just overdid it that time. I put Star Tours first just in case we dont make it out of AK in time to make the FP+. My family really can spend hours watching animals. Hopefully if we miss the FP+ time, the line wont be too bad and we can do standby.
Our 2nd FP+ is for Toy Story Mania from 2:10 pm 3:10 pm. This will probably be my only ride on TSM this trip so I plan to make the most of it!
Im not sure what we will do in between the two rides, maybe the new Pirates show?
I found it a bit strange but John wants to see all the new stuff. American Idol is a possibility if we didnt see it on the first day. That show along with Lights, Motors, Action are the two that we missed in 2010. I really didnt have anything to pick for the third FP+ because my group does not want to ride TOT again. Im not sure I can still call them family after that one! So instead, I made the final FP+ for the LMA show. Totally unnecessary to have but the system wont let you make less than 3 FP+ reservations so I had to use it for something. So sometime between 3:40 and 4:00 pm we will head to the LMA stadium.
After LMA there probably wont be much time until our dinner reservation at 5:30 pm at Sci Fi. In 2010 we ate at Mama Melrose, 50s Prime Time and Hollywood and Vine so the choice to go to Sci Fi was pretty easy for this trip. When I first made our reservations, I had a 6:00 pm one. Disney contacted me though and asked me to move the reservation to 5:30 as the restaurant was closing early that night. I still havent been able to figure out why its closing early, maybe something to do with the cheerleading competitions that are going on that week.
There are two Fantasmics this night at 7 pm and 8:30 pm.
It will be up to Mom, John and Jocelyn to determine if we go and see the show. If we can make the 7 pm one I think we might. I really dont think they will want to stick around to see the 8:30 pm show. This is mainly because John & Jocelyn are leaving early the next morning to head to Universal. They are probably going to want to head back to the resort a little early to pack.

Just kidding, I understand that it's not for everyone and you have to be mindful of the people you are with! 
Well I will get one ride on TOT the first day and maybe if the lines not long, I can talk them into a second ride. 
Hi Ed! Glad you joined in. I sure hope we don't get the kind of rain you are getting right now! So far the forecast looks pretty good through Wednesday. It's supposed to be a little cooler on the wedding day but no rain. 
Thanks for joining in! Oh man, I love sangria!
