Day 00 Saturday: the plan is to check-in, get some light eats and then head to DTD. We haven't been there in a few years. I'm looking forward to hitting some stores that have Disney things that are more unique than what we'd normally fins online. My youngest was bummed about not getting into T-Rex, but numerous folks have told me that we'll enjoy Raglan Road. We're then planning to head over to MK late evening since we're staying at BLT. We'll see how we're all holding up at that point since it will be a long day.
Day 01 Sunday: Animal Kingdom. Now here's the thing, I LOVE animals, but for some reason, I have had bad Park days at AK. I am going in with a positive attitude and hoping to have a blast. We’ll do the Wilderness Explorer stuff for the girls and I’ll get Flame Tree BBQ for lunch. Can’t go wrong with those plans! Then that evening we are doing Ohana. After that it’s SNF and I am still trying to determine where I am watching the Steelers-Ravens game. I am thinking of trying to find a spot at the bar at the Top of the World Lounge at BLT.
Day 02 Monday: EPCOT. This should be a fun day. Not like every day at WDW isn’t but it’s the F&W Festival! So I should be able to gross a few thousand calories on this day! I’m a little bummed that Maelstrom will be closed before we get there, but at least I had ridden a few times before. I always thought that it was underrated. In addition to the food, I’m pretty pumped for the craft beers that are going to have. I expect them to have some good ones there. It’ll be a blast, but certainly not cheap! The girls will enjoy the Kidcot Fun Stops and filling up their passports as well. They are finally at the age where they are starting to really enjoy the World Showcase. My youngest is very excited about dining at Coral Reef. We did it last year but she’s very optimistic that we will get to sit by the aquarium. Who am I to dampen her enthusiasm!
EDIT: 10\29\2014 - Coral Reef is off our ADR and we are now doing La Hacienda San Angel. Youngest DD signed off on it after I pointed out the Mexican boat ride and cheese quesadillas!
Day 03 Tuesday: MK. I am excited for this day for many reasons. Mainly 7DMT and BOG! Our FP+ for 7DMT is at night. I think it will be really cool to ride that at night. I love MK at night. It’s always cool to see the different lights on the attractions and of course Wishes. We did BOG last year and we were seated in the West Wing. Our girls loved that. More important than the ambiance was the FOOD! Everything that we had was absolutely amazing! I’m confident that it’ll be delicious again.
Day 04 Wednesday: The thing I am looking forward to on this day is Hoop Dee Doo Revue. We've never done it before, so there's a lot of anticipation. I like all of the food options that are going to be served and I am particularly interested in the free alcohol! We will have 10 of us at this dinner and the family that is joining is a super fun bunch that will enjoy the HDR shenanigans as much as me! After dinner, I think we are going to roast some marshmallows with Chip n Dale at the Campfire Sing-a-long at Fort Wilderness.
I suspect that we'll do a 1/2 day at DHS on this day. DW and I both love that park and our girls enjoy the heck out of RnR, ToT, TSM and Star Tours. Plus I think DHS has some really cool, underrated things like the Writer's Stop and the Magic of Disney Animation. We try to stop by this every trip. It's especially neat to see our DDs drawings from one year to the next.
So we haven't made an ADR but I think we may try and squeeze one in for lunch since our flight isn;t until around 6PM ET.
