While I am stuck in limbo waiting to see what opens for our May trip (LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!!!), I thought I would start the outline of our Aug/Sept trip. 8 nights! Everything we want to do! Not a budget trip, this is a Splurge trip. So no holds barred.
Fri, Aug 28th: Arrival Day- plane lands around 5pm, taking Magical Express, check into Beach Club, relax and unpack, no plans. Depending on time we will pop in the pool and have a QS or room service dinner at the resort.
Sat, Aug 29th: Epcot. Early breakfast in the room, then stroll to Future world for RD. Mom and Dad will likely rider swap Soarin', and take the kids on Nemo repeatedly. I'll need some Starbucks. Hubby may want to go on Mission Space, but I will NEVER go near that ride as that horrible man tricked me onto it in 2004 or 2005 and ruined HOURS of my epcot day with the pukies. We will probably let the kids run around the showcase on our walk back to the international gateway, maybe do the boat ride in Mexico. Then back to our resort for early lunch at Beaches & Cream, then a dip in the pool, then a family nap. Then depending on weather and how we feel, we will either go swimming or hit more rides back at Epcot. Dinner at Coral Reef around 5. No evening plans.
Sun, Aug 30th: HS. No rush to get there. Plan to get FP on TSMM, Frozen sing along, and something else to be determined. We are not thrill riders. Priority of the day is Characterpalooza, if it is happening. Highlight of our trip last year. I will add a post dedicated to my love of characterpalooza. Lunch at 50's prime time, Fantasmic dinner package at Mama Melrose's. If we decide we cant make it late enough for Fantasmic I'll just give our vouchers to an unsuspecting family.
Mon, Aug 31st: Epcot. pre-park Akershus! Whoo hoo! Excited to get my princess dressed up for this. Plenty of time for her to decide what costume she wants next. Then like a long pool day planned at Storm-along Bay. Back to Mexico for dinner at San Angel, of course we hit the boat ride again. Going to try and stay up late for Illuminations.
Tuesday, Sept 1: Typhoon Lagoon. Sleep in (which is 8am at the latest for us!). Check out of Beach Club and send our luggage on to the POly so it will be there in the afternoon. Today is a BIG splurge day. First, I booked us a Beachcomber Shack at TL. We will spend the day mostly in the kiddie areas. I plan on having an adult beverage or two. Then, we check into the Poly. Hope to head over there around 3pm. Fingers crossed room is ready, and we all have a late nap. Dinner option of 1900 PF vs a quick bite at the hotel, because this evening we are going on the Pirates and Pals Fireworks Voyage! ***(this fancy day is a consolation prize because I was so sad
MNSSHP starts so late this year. If, by some miracle, more dates get added, I will drop these plans for the party in a heartbeat.)
Wed, Sept 2: MK. rope drop. Considering adding prepark BOG breakfast once dates are extended. Standard MK fun in the am. BOG lunch scheduled. Will take afternoon break for pool and nap at the POly. Back for parade and Wishes Dessert Party that night.
Thurs, Sept 3: AK. 1/2 day at AK planned. Lunch at Tusker. Back to resort by 3-4 to hang at the pool the rest of the night.
Fri, Sept 4: MK: prepark CP, BOG dinner. No concrete plans. Still a thread of hope for a Halloween party, because I am an optimist.
Sat Sept 5: 8:00 Ohana, then MK for the morning. Our flight isn't until late so I don't expect our Magical Express ride to be much before 3pm. Oh, even typing about going home makes me sad!
Oh my!
I am SO HAPPY.
