Cruise Ideas and Now WDW too! My Ideas and Pictures

[Fivepin]

Guess what? We just added three more nights to our Thanksgiving Trip. I'm going to have lots of work to do to get ready but it will be worth it.

What dates did you add on? Did you add to land portion or cruise? I'm cruising B2B Nov17-20 and then 20-23rd.

We added to the land part. We are going to arrive Nov. 19 (Saturday) and spend 4 nights at POFQ with Park Hopper Pass and Dining. Then on Wednesday, Nov. 23 we will go on the Disney Dream coming home on Nov. 27.
We can't wait. I my DS will miss two days of school and my DH has to take off three days of work but I wanted to spend more time at Disney since it will just be the three of us this time.

How exciting. If we weren't flying I would love to add on some more time! I guess that means we have to come back....again!

When I booked the changes I forgot about changing the flight. I almost called back and cancelled the changes but I took a chance with the airline and called to see what it would cost to change our flight and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be so I changed the flight and told my DH to not allow me to talk him into any other changes.

We just sat down a few min ago and planed our new days with our ADR's. Now I just have to wait for the travel agent to call me tomorrow with my reservation number so I can book the ADR's.

Here is what we have decided:

Nov. 19th (Saturday) Once we arrive in Orlando and check-in to the POFQ we are going to head over to Epcot and spend the rest of the day at Future World with Dinner at the Garden Grill.

Nov. 20th (Sunday) We are going to have breakfast at Tusker House in AK and stay until 1 or 2. Then we are going to head back to the room and rest up for a little while. Returning to MK in the evening. We are going to have dinner at The Crystal Palace and enjoy the EMH (open till 1 am but not sure DS will make it till then).

Nov. 21st (Monday) We are going to have breakfast at the Hollywood & Vine and spend the day at Hollywood Studios with dinner at the Sci-Fi Cafe.

Nov. 22nd (Tuesday) We are going to have breakfast at the 1900 Park Fare located at the Grand Floridian and then spend the rest of the day doing WS at Epcot with dinner at the Teppan.

Then we hope to sleep late on Nov. 23rd (Wednesday) and take the DCL Transportation to board the Disney Dream for 5 nights of Disney Sea Magic.

What do you think?

What do you think?

It sounds wonderful!

You are going to have a great time. We would have liked to have ended our trip with the cruise, but we wanted to be on the cruise the first day for my DD's birthday. Next time we will do it in reverse and enjoy the relaxation to end the trip.

I need to work on the actual planning of the days a little bit. I was sitting her making my tip envelopes when I received the message. Each day brings a little closer to our Disney Magic!

Have you considered doing Wishes? Our DD will be 5 and I'm not sure it will be worth it yet.

When you say Wishes are you talking about the Fireworks Show at MK? If so yes, I do hope we get to see it. My DS has not seen the fireworks at MK or Epcot yet but I'm hoping that since this will be just the three of us it will be easier to do. My DH loves the Illuminations at Epcot and we missed it the last time we were there in April.

When I read your question it made me start to think that I might see about doing the Dessert Party with Wishes. I'm going to do some research on that.

Thanks,
Allison

Yes, I did mean the dessert party. Sorry that I wasn't more clear (you're a mom don't you read minds LOL)!

I think since your son is a little older he would enjoy it, I'm not sure how well a 5 yr old would do (not to mention what our next day would be like with a tired cranky girl.

Enjoy!!

 

[alayne]

Haha! I lost have my mind after I became a Mom.

I checked and no tickets for Wishes Dessert Party during our stay that work with our schedule. We will just have to find a spot on our own with our own dessert.

I am going to book the Pirate Makeover since he missed it on our last trip.

When I first started this thread we were going to do a Disney Cruise Only. Then after reseraching on the boards we found that it was a good idea to fly in the night before your cruise (especially since it was a holiday) so we added a one night stay at POFQ. Which lead to adding a day at Epcot.

Well, a day at Epcot was just not enough so we have added even more days which lead to even more changes and all new ideas.

IT IS FINAL!!! I have rebooked our trip and changed our flights for the last time.
Here is our new plans -
We are flying from Atlanta to Orlando on November 19th. I picked the earliest flight I could so we should be at the hotel by 11:00.
We have decided to stay at the Caribbean Beach Resort with the Pirate Room since my DS loves Pirates right now.
We will be at the CBR from Nov. 19th thru Nov. 23rd. We did a 4 day park hopper pass and the deluxe dinning.

On Nov. 23rd we will take DCL transporation from CBR to the Disney Dream. Then we will be on the Dream Nov. 23 - 27.

With these changes I am having to also change my gifts, crafts and packages for my DS.

As soon as I get all my creations in order and organized I will post new updated information and pictures.

My DH keeps telling me that even though we added more days I can't add more stuff because we are still flying. However, I have that part undercontrol. I talked with the hotel and I can ship a box to the resort with my goodies and then ship all the WDW purchases home before we get on the boat. That way we still only have the cruise stuff to take on the ship and off the ship as we orginally had planned.

Wish me luck. 4 months to get everything ready. I made all our ADR's yesterday, booked my DS for the Pirate Make Over and our family for the Pirate and Pals Fireworks Voyage. I have made a schedule and a list of items I need to make and request.

Thanks everyone for looking at my ideas and creatons. I hope to post more soon.

Where did you find the Pluto Sailor Plush and this pillowcase? My niece is a Pluto fan and it is hard finding some of these for her.

Thanks - Carol
