Hey everyone.
I've chatted in a few threads about my trip to go back to Orlando but thought it was time i started my own thread.
Going in September of 2016 and this will be 6 years since i was last at WDW, when i worked at Epcot on the Cultural Representative Program July (2009-July 2010) Previous to that, only done 2 x 2 week trips in January of 2006 & 2007.
I've missed WDW, so much since i was there last. It was the best year of my life and since many of the amazing people i worked with have been back on vacation there, some yearly. My love of Disney has always stayed but saving to buy a house and a career has prevented me from going before next year.
I'm going with my boyfriend and we are going for 3 weeks. (Im the one with glasses in my photo) Considering i want to visit all of WDW, Universal, Seaworld and Bush Gardens, i think this was a sufficient amount of time.
Boyfriend doesn't know but Im intending to propose to him on the first day of our vacation. We'll also be celebrating my Birthday on the 3rd day of our trip.
Considering that this could be our only trip to WDW for another 5 years, it's got to be incredible without being too demanding on expectations because i know from first hand when guests expect the earth but in my excitement, i have already come up with a draft itinerary for the 3 weeks and wanted feedback on what people think.
Then i can do some day move arounds, swaps ect before booking Dining ect.
Tuesday 13th September
Arrive at Old Key West Resort 5pm
Dinner at Disney Springs
Wednesday 14th Magic Kingdom

Wishes Private Boat rental to propose to Boyfriend

Thursday 29th Hollywood Studios

Friday 30th Animal Kingdom
Saturday 1st Epcot
Sunday 2nd Free unallocated day
Monday 3rd Magic Kingdom
Tuesday 4th Fly Home
So, as a rough draft, what does everyone think? The free unallocated day can go anywhere once i find an activity to fill it with unless i split the Orlando eye ect to a separate day from the skydiving.
Looking forward to all your help and advice in advance
