I think your list of must-dos looks great! Is your dinner at California Grill late? If not, it might make more sense to take the bus to MK, then the monorail back to Epcot and walk through Epcot to get to BC. When you take the monorail TO Epcot, you get to do the loop around the park, which is my favorite part.
Thanks! I think our CA grill ADR is 7:30? I was planning to walk through Epcot, take the monorail over, and then take the bus back to BC later that night, but I'm not sure Brandon is going to go for that. I love taking the monorail to Epcot from MK and looping around, maybe we will save that for another MK morning!
Jen, don't stress out about it. You'd be surprised how much you can do in a couple days. When we went in October to visit Emma we basically did every major attraction at each park in 2 full days. And there's always another trip to do what you can't get done! (ETA: OK, just saw your newest post...glad you are feeling better about your plans now.
)
As for the Flower and Garden Festival, there is so much to see-we went to Epcot 3 times and I still don't think we saw everything!
I think they might've changed the rope drop at DHS. Meaning that there is no actual rope anymore to keep everyone in that massive hoard. When we were there last Monday, we got there for park opening and they just let people start walking right away, making for a much less congested walk. And there were only a couple people in each FP line, so hopefully it'll work out like that for you guys.
Thanks for the advice, I'm so relaxed about this trip now, I'm just looking forward to being in Disney and getting a break from life for a few days!
I'm hoping they keep the DHS rope drop that way while we are there, because I really don't want to do the stampede with everyone! If we can just leisurely walk over to the FP machines, that will be awesome! And if we can hop in the standby line after, that would be even better!
Great list! The monorail especially- for some reason, on my way to work this morning I could not stop thinking about the monorail spiel and how excited everyone is on the monorail in the morning. Then I started going nuts that it's still 20 days away!!
I can't wait to go on the monorail and hear the monorail guy's voice!!
We're at 14 days now, and it seems like it's going to take forever to get here! I'm so ready to go!!!
That's a pretty manageable list! It definitely helps when you know there will be another trip shortly after this one! If you don't get to everything then "there's always next time!" Taking time to use the pool is probably the best decision we ever made! it's so relaxing and it really helps you to feel like you're actually ON vacation!
Thanks! I can't wait to hang out by Stormalong Bay with a pina colava in my hand, I think this will be the first trip that we will actually get in some real pool time! Usually, if we use the pool at all it's get in, swim, get out! I just want to lounge for a while!
I love your must dos! I'm glad you were able to prioritize so you could relax about your trip a little! 
I really want to ride the monorail from Epcot to MK on our trip too!!! You'll have to let me know how it is, if you do it!
19 DAYS?! HOLY COW!!!
Thanks! I'm glad too, because when I really thought about it, I realized there was no reason to be stressed at all, I'm going to be in DISNEY WORLD! I'm going to be happy no matter what!
I can't wait to use the monorail from Epcot to MK a few times, I just have to make sure it's running, I keep seeing that resort loop is going to be down in the middle of the day, but I don't know if that affects the Epcot loop?
14 DAYS!!! I'm so excited!!!
Yay! I'm glad you're feeling better. Your list looks really great. I always really want to do pool time and then I remember that neither of us have suits, I don't feel like
buying one, and I hate swimming.
Sooo... no pools for us.
I may try and lounge gracefully poolside one of these times.
I've never been on TSM either and we were watching all those Disney park specials on Netflix and now I'm like triply certain I will FAIL HORRIBLY whenever I actually ride the real thing (hopefully soon!).
Someone on the Theme Parks board just posted about more monorail maintenance, so no idea what's going on there.
Thanks! Haha, ugh, the one thing about pool time that I'm not looking forward to is wearing a bathing suit...luckily I have an adorable cover up to wear when I'm not in the water, and when I take it off, I'm going to just run in the pool really fast before anyone can see me!
TSM is so much fun, but I'm not very good at it! I don't see how people score in the 200,000's...or even 300,000's!
I looked over there for updates about the monorail, but no one seems to know! I think it's just the resort monorail, but who knows? And now I can't remember if the Epcot monorail goes straight to MK or if it stops at the TTC! Ughhhh!!!
I can't wait for that pool!!! 
so I get cramped in those tiny seats! 
Usually I sit near the window, but I'm thinking this time I might sit in the aisle seat and let the stranger have the window so if I want to get up, I don't have to climb over anyone! Brandon doesn't mind sitting in the middle, luckily!
I just want an anniversary button, that's all, I'm not expecting anything from it...just my button!
