I've been drag tailing around with this trip report and haven't had time to do a pre-trip report. So, I guess that I'll post my plans here. As I said, this trip is going to be a biggie! The gang will be John, Hunter, myself, Lacey, Jesse, Jesse's mother and father, two brothers, sister-in-law and a two year old little Princess. Jesse's family has never been to Walt Disney World (or any other real tourist destination) and I'm super excited to see how they like it. I'm also a bit nervous because, like I said, they haven't been anywhere touristy. Ya'll know me, I've been planning this trip since before we left the last trip (the one that I'm still writing about) and my 2015 WDW email folder is overloaded with dining confirmations and cancellations. There's still one ADR that I have made that I'm trying to change to a different time but we'll be fine if I have to leave it as it is. The itinerary looks like this:
May 22: John works until 3:30 and I work until Noon. Hunter is out of school so he can help load things into the car and straighten up the house while waiting for John to get off. Drive until around Midnight and find a hotel for the night.
May 23: Drive the rest of the way to Walt Disney World. I need to call the House of Blues ticket office and see what time they close for the eveing. We have brunch tickets that need to be picked up. If we get there in time to go to the box office at Downtown Disney, that's how we'll spend our evening.
May 24: Hunter's birthday!!!!!!! We will be attending the House of Blues Gospel Brunch on his birthday! This is a first for us and I really haven't seen many reviews but we are excited to be giving it a try and to listen to awesome gospel music. After the brunch, we are headed to the Magic Kingdom and then later that eveing, we have dinner at Ohana which was Hunter's choice for his birthday dinner.
May 25: Epcot day Lunch at Beaches & Cream which is a new restaurant for us. Dinner at Via Napoli.
May 26: Typhoon Lagoon day Lunch at either the water park or at the resort. Dinner at Olivia's. Possibly spend time at Disney Quest or Fantasia mini-golf. Anyone have a clue how to get from Olivia's to the Fantasia mini-golf?
May 27: This started out being a totally off day until dinner time. I can't have a true off day though so we are lazing around until after lunch when we go to Epcot for three fastpass choices. Dinner is at the Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney.
May 28: Hollywood Studios day with dinner at Sci-Fi.
May 29: Blizzard Beach day Lunch at Blizzard Beach, play a round of mini-golf at Winter Summerland and then dinner at T-Rex at Downtown Disney.
May 30: This is the day that the rest of the gang arrives. They think that they will start their drive on the evening of the 29th and arrive around lunch on the 30th. We have a breakfast reservation at Kona and will be back at the resort when they arrive. Jesse's older brother is the most excited about the trip and I want to see the expression on his face when they get out of their cars. We will all be going to dinner at Boma that evening.
Our plans are to mostly stick together every morning and then splinter off around lunch time. This is their vacation and our vacation and while we want to spend time together, we want to be considerate of one another's time too.
May 31: Epcot day We have two fastpasses together and one separate from the party with the two year old. For lunch, some are going to Akershus. Jesse and his older brother are going to eat counter service in Japan. Lacey is giong to stick with us. The party with the 2 year old may go back to the resort for a break but they aren't sure. The rest of us have dinner rservations at Coral Reef but are sitting at two different tables since we already had our ADR made prior to their deciding to go.
June 1: Hollywood Studios. Again, those with the 2 year old will separate from us for a while. We have Fastpasses for Tower of Terror. We are eating two counter service meals this day since none of the table service restaurants appealed to the rest. We will meet back up again to see Fantasmic.
June 2: This is our off day. Hunter is for sure going to Downtown Disney with some of them so that they can go to Disney Quest. Some may laze around the resort. Not really sure. We will all be gong to the 5:15 luau and then to the Magic Kingdom that evening.
June 3: Animal Kingdom day. Splitting up again and then meeting for lunch. Dinner is at Downtown Disney with all of us having reservations at different restaurants.
June 4: Magic Kingdom day. The plan is to stick together as long as we want. We have dinner reservations at Be Our Guest as does the party with the 2 year old. We will all go together while Lacey and the rest of the bunch go to the Polynesian for dinner at Ohana and Kona.
June 5: Originally, this was the day that everybody but John, Hunter and I would leave. But, for Lacey's birthday, we paid for them to stay one more day/night. While Jesse's family hits the road home, we head to the Magic Kingdom. Lunch is at Be Our Guest and dinner is at the Crystal Palace.
June 6: We leave our home away from home and tell our kiddos goodbye.
That sounds like so much fun, we will definitely have to do it next time we are in WDW. 
. I believe in order to get to Fantasia mini golf, you need to take a bus to the Swan and Dolphin and then walk from there. So that means a boat to DTD or bus to a theme park to catch a different bus to Swan and Dolphin. I could be wrong though as I've never done it. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come along.
