I will have to try again later after I clean up the foot high layer of clothing I have lying on my bed. (I did some shopping yesterday to celebrate, so its time to get rid of the old)
I'm furious!! Just replied to everyone and went to post it and it makes me sign in and of course it all disappears

Alright, time for Day One!!
Im so excited for this day! I have an image of what I think Disney will be like from reading a lot of reviews, but this is the day I get to find out for myself!
Our plans for Day one Include:
Flight arrival around 10am I think haha. I will need to check this.
Take Magic Express to Pop. What is the earliest we can check in? If we are too early will they hold our things until our room is ready??
Head over to MK Take an insane amount of pictures
Grab a snack at Main Street Bakery Im so excited to try cookie icecream sandwich!
Spend afternoon and evening at MK
Hope to ride some of the following:
Splash Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain
Buzz Lightyear
Space Mountain
Pirates of Carribean
Jungle Cruise
Haunted Mansion
Peter Pans Flight
Am I missing anything? Are there any rides you would recommend saving for our full day at MK?
Grab QS dinner at Cosmic Rays Is this a good choice any other recommendations instead?
Spectro at 8 Where should we try to sit, is there a location that would be good for Spectro and wishes??
Wishes at 9
Go back to Pop exhausted
And thats day one! I'm a newbie and I have no idea what I'm doing. Any advise/guidance would be GREATLY appreciated. If my plans look flawed dont hesitate to tell me, I need the help of experts
A fellow buckeye, when we flew down on Aug. 3 our flight left at 7:45, nonstop to Orlando we had landed before 10am. We were at ASMusic before 11am & our room was ready. I did on-line check in, so I'd recommend you do that and MAYBE you'll have some pixie dust all over your ressie & your room too will be ready 
I still get goose bumps every visit as we walk down Main St. 
What a great place to go celebrate 
Great start!
My only 2 cents (well you asked!) is that if you are arriving in Orlando at 10am coming from Ohio it means you'll be starting your day at least with an 8am flight. You will probably be hungry for an actual meal before dinner time. I would suggest even just splitting something at POP before going to the MK (you can still get your Bakery snack!) and that way you can check out POP for a bit too!
Can't wait for more!!
This will also work well because I dont have much of an appetite when it is hot.Your day 1 plans sound so great! That's awesome that you'll get there so early--you have almost a whole day in the parks!
They will definitely hold your bags until your room is ready. You can go ahead and check in, and then they'll call you to let you know when you can get into your room.
If you want a little break from the MK and want to get away from the crowds, you can take the monorail or the ferry or walk over to the Contemporary and eat at the Contempo Cafe. We did this last year and LOVED it! It's around a 5-7 minute walk, and their pepperoni flatbread was our favorite of the whole trip!
If you get there early enough, you should watch Spectro in front of the Liberty Bell. It may or may not have a rope up, but you can stand there where the sidewalk from the Liberty Bell meets the street. A lot of people don't know this is a place to stand. It's right next to the roped off reserved section there (or at least it was when we went).
And we loved seeing Wishes from the Hub (the circle in front of the Castle) because it was the perfect Castle/Fireworks picture. Since it's just the two of you, you should be able to find a good spot! Head over there right after Spectro.
You're going to LOVE Walt Disney World!!!
for doing so very well! Have a nice dinner!
Mmm...I love the rolls and cinnamon butter from Texas Roadhouse. I end up eating like 3 bites of my dinner b/c I eat so many rolls.
Congratulations!
I love Paul Rudd. Have you seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall? I know he doesn't have a huge role in that one but it's one of our favorites. Also, we like I Love You Man. What about Date Night? My DH hasn't seen it yet but I did and I really enjoyed it. I think I'm going to see The Other Guys this weekend. I love me some Will Ferrell too.
They make the best salad. Ive never got a salad for a meal, but I love ordering it for a side. Their ranch and croutons are delicious!! If I could make salads like them I'd eat em for every meal. 
(sshh dont tell Brian 
) I didnt love Forgetting Sarah Marshal. Likely because I dont care for Kristen Bell and cant stand Russel Brand). It's funny I never really love any of the movies Paul is in, but he seems to nail the part he has...make sense?? So I am able to at least some what enjoy it enough to keep it on. Like, I love him in Knocked Up, but didnt really like the movie. Same with I Love You Man. 
Steve Carell is just amazing and I like Tine Fey because I watch 30 Rock. So it is still a must see for us. I think it's on DVD now so it will be added to our Netflix. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome to the world of Real estate!!Enjoy your night out!!!
!!
. Brian probably wondered what was wrong with me because I normally have the gift of gab and rarely get to eat because Im to busy talking. He wanted to hear all about the test but I was to busy stuffing my face. I really think Pop is a great place for our first visit because I really doubt we will be in our room much, but I also just love how fun it looks.
Please prepare for the heat and humidity. Don't want to be a downer but it can be brutal hot in Sept, Oct. We went down for a hockey tournament Columbus Day weekend three or four years ago and it was brutal hot mid-late day. If it is take advantage of extra morning hours then to the pool (I don't know if you can pool hop but that can be fun too) then shower and back to the parks for Extra evening hours. I will say a prayer that it is 75 day and 65 night for you two. Have a blast!!! and Happy Planning it's part of the fun!!
That just happened to me, too!!!!!!!!
Ugh! I hate when that happens. DH and I went through our clothes this past weekend. We ended up donating 7 bags full of clothes.
Each time I pull them out I come up with some excuse to keep them. Like Maybe someday
. Or What if
. Welcome aboard the DISboards
If not, they will hold your luggage.
Arriving late at MK I think for sure you will be able to enjoy:
Buzz
Pirates
Jungle Cruise
Haunted Mansion
Probably: BTRRM with minimal wait
With FP: Splash, Space Mtn & Peter Pan
Check the times guide on Main st (ask a cast member where) to find out the waits & if FP's are available.
If you have an another day at MK, ENJOY & take in the sites and tour in a leisurely fashion. You can always get there at park opening & hit your must sees your next day at MK.
It is so wonderful to enter the MK for the first time
We really liked the Harbour House in Liberty Square for a counter service offering items different than burgers & ribs. But we didn't make it to Cosmic Rays. It does get good reviews.
Being on Main st. is the best place to see the fireworks behind the castle. If you don't care about seeing the fireworks backdropped behind the castle, you can see them just about anywhere in the park, really. A less crowded place to see the night parade is over in frontierland. But if you are willing to stake out a place early, you'll be able to see them from Main st. Check out the theme parks forum & you'll find threads discussing parade & fireworks vantage points, including dessert parties & water cruises
Yes, you are going to return to POP worn out with your flight in that early
I'm a little on the crazy side when it comes to touring the super headliner attractions & if you're interested on how I do it, check out my link to my TR below.
Looking forward to more of your pre-trip sharing. And Happy Anniversary in advance! 2 years, you're still a newlywed
I think it will be a great place to spend our anniversary. Now I jsut wish we would have made it for like 10 days.Thanks again I really appreciate how helpful and nice everyone has been to me!
Thanks so much! I dont think I told you, but you are part of the reason I went for it. While reading your old TR I really got so excited for you and wished I could do the same. Before I knew it I was following in your footsteps. You inspired me..thanks so much
. 
so Im going to have to find and dig out the tub they are all stored in. Most of these items were bought on clearance or with 40-50% coupon.( Im a clearance junkie...esp. Target) While all other 20 something year olds are out partying on a Friday Im at home clipping coupons and playing battleship
and thats the way I love it. Everyone refers to Brian and I as an old married couple. 
It ended up being $33 because I used a 40% off coupon. Im so glad he talked me into it. I love it!
Im anxious to see what I actually end up packing
Nice job!!
Isn't it great when your DH shows his excitement, too? My hubby is excited too but he is definitely the type of person that doesn't really show his excitement for our trips until they are in just a few days and then a switch flips and he's like suuuuuper excited. I go through spurts. We are doing the photopass this year just b/c I already have a lot of pictures of the fireworks and such and hardly any pictures of DH and I together in WDW. I figure if we come back and I don't think we took enough pictures or I don't like a lot of them, I will just get a refund and maybe purchase a few I like. For our honeymoon, we purchased I think 2 different pictures and 2 copies of each and it was something like $40!
WOW, the cake is beautiful!!!!!
Love all the scrap book stuff! I have had such good intentions of scrapbooking our trips, but I just can never find the time! They turn out so cute and organized and fun, I love them, just wish I had the energy and time for it!! Can't wait to see yours!
So funny about the bags! Bri and I would get along, love it!!
Love the mini hipster, perfect for the trip for sure!!
Wow, the cake pic's are really neat
Did you use food coloring on white cakes to get all the different colors? What a great idea. They look so fun
That cake is great! I love the different color layers.
Scrapbooking sounds like fun! I'm sure it will turn out great; you've got a lot of stickers there. & I love the 3D Mickey scrapbook.
You are very talented! I love the colors of the cake. Good job.
Ooo, scrapbooking things. I love it! I love scrapbooking. However, in all of the years that I have been scrapbooking, I have only 2 completed albumbs.
Looking forward to seeing Day 2 Plans.
Do ride photos go on the photopass as well?? Ya, I was scared of the individual pricing. Can I see all the pics before I decide if I want a to buy the cd?? If there are lotsI love it may be a good idea to purchase it.
mmmm Boma. I've always wanted to eat there. the food always looks so good.
Festival of the Lion King is great & so is the safari!
