I'm slowly wishing 7 weeks of my life away until 27th April!
So the boyfriend knows about New York.... I may have accidentally slipped up whilst telling a friend about it thinking he was at the bar....! Whoops. He actually knew ages ago and has been keeping it secret that he knew for a month, bless him!! So he thinks he's off to just New York, so I'm hoping the Florida element will be a big surprise at least
He finds out Sunday on his birthday, and I've already got everything printed & in a folder ready to give to him! Including NY info, flights, Disney, tickets, SSR info, travel etc! Just have to wrap and get through a busy weekend now!
So I have got a bit of a plan in my head but I'm not sure if I've missed anything? As its our first time and were only there 8 nights, I know we won't see everything but I'm hoping we can get a lot done
Can anyone advise if we've missed anything off?! I say 'we' I mean 'I' haha!
We've only got 2 ADR's booked as I want to let him pick the rest as its his birthday. Hence the lack of ADR's!
Arrive Orlando May 1st at approx 2pm. We'll have cleared customs in NY already so this will hopefully be smooth sailing! I expect we should arrive to SSR via ME at 4ish?! Our first afternoon will be settling in, unpacking, exploring the resort to get our bearings! Then we have Sanaa reservations at 8pm! However as Animal kingdom won't be open at that time, I think I might change Sanaa to Saturday 4th May instead when it's open until 8! Instead on our first night I might suggest Epcot or DTD.
Thursday 2nd May - early start with reservations at Chef Mickeys! I had booked 7.15 but as the park isn't open until 9am I've changed it to 8am instead! MK day well at least the morning, grab some lunch there then maybe head back to SSR to relax mid afternoon. Evening plans, maybe back to MK for wishes!
Friday 3rd May - Hollywood studios day and then Epcot evening for extra hours! Hopefully we'll get an ADR in Epcot. There are still a lot of places available!
Saturday 4th May - Relax in the morning & Animal kingdom afternoon! In hoping to book the Wild Africa Trek for late afternoon as a extra surprise! Then hopefully dinner at Sanaa if I can swap!
Sunday 5th May - blizzard beach or typhoon lagoon! We'll only want to do one of the water parks so we'll just decide on the day! Dinner at DTD!
Monday 6th May - Seaworld & HS for extra hours evening!
Tuesday 7th May - Florida mall for some shopping & then see what time we have left, maybe MK evening!
Wednesday 8th May - last day so catch up on anything we missed!
Thursday 9th may - our flight is at 1.45pm so I suppose we'd need to be ready to catch ME by 11ish? So early start & packing!
Is there anything else I haven't covered that I should see/arrange to do?!
Is it best to get my Seaworld tickets online before I go or wait until we get there?
I've done all my budgeting so I hope $3000 is enough for us. In fact I know it will be I just can't help but over prepare!!
I've got to get a new suitcase so we both have 'large' ones, and I plan to take 7 days worth of clothes & do a wash whilst we're in Florida early one morning whilst BF sleeps. That way we can buy stuff out there & not worry about getting it all home!
I plan to bring just 3 pairs of shoes! Smart flats, flip flops & my pumps! This is a big deal for me & my shoe collection! NY I'm
Expecting UK ish weather but a bit warmer so we'll bring light jackets or a jumper and I'm hoping Florida will be hot hot hot so it'll be shorts & t-shirts!
