First time in the world oct. 2014

[sweetpeaandevie]

So, I do not want to keep to changing our schedule every time a new version of the park hours comes out…..but I feel like there are a couple of “flaws” in our current plan. With that said, I have come up with a completely different schedule and I need input!!! If you see anything out of the way, please let me know. Mom, if you don’t like it…..we can rework…..again. Keep in mind that we like to eat….and we usually eat dinner late. Most of our dinner reservations will be at 8:00. (I work an hour from home so my kids are already used to eating dinner between 7 and 8.) We are using these meals as some time to come together as a family and relax a bit. I know a lot of people don’t like to cut into park time with a lot of TS meals, but we are pretty sure it will be just fine for us….

Wed
POR-arrive in the morning drive: we drive overnight….mom and Frank will probably already be in Orlando staying offsite Tues night) Men-sleep (hopefully in ready rooms…) women-shop, decorate, explore, jump up and down screaming because we are FINALLY in Disneyworld !!! Check out the pool. Head to FW in the afternoon. Look around, maybe ride a pony or play checkers. HDDR for dinner. Go back to resort and CRASH!!!!!

Okay, give it to me. Ya like it? I feel better about this one. Of course, once the Oct hours come out something will probably be wrong….but oh well. ADRs will be made (probably) I tried to keep from doing any early mornings after late nights because I have a couple of night owls in my family that are gonna want to sleep in.

[sweetpeaandevie]

duh, of course we could do f&w for lunch on our epcot day.....hehehe

the only reason I was trying to keep BOG away from our pirate day was because of eating late at LTT. I guess if we can eat late at BOG that would work better. I didn't see that it was poss. EMH and I would like to do that. Maybe we could switch and do MK in the morning and epcot in the afternoon/evening

and, yeah 10:00 for Tusker House sounds good

 

[spiritsim]

I have heard people say ABC Commissary is good or Backlot express also isn't Starring rolls there? Yea that would be my pick Starring Rolls!!!!

well the possible hrs were on the touring plan site because oct hrs are not out yet its there estimation.
And good idea do MK in morning because the showcase doesn't open until like 11 anyways......
and Bog at 8 on pirate day I would say lunch at 1pm then that will give us 7 hrs between .....

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

sounds good. now you can change it on your stuff and I will change my velcro board when i get home....

Haha! No worries! We all change our plans a million and one times! And it's especially hard on your first trip because you want to try everything and you dont know what your favorite will be yet!!!!!

Wed

Squuuuueeeeee!!! I am excited just thinking about this! Jumping up and down is probably EXACTLY what you'll be doing- I was!! This sounds like a great way to ease into the World!!! FYI- FW also does free campfire things at night with singing and roasting marshmallows, etc. I don't know if the timing will work out or if youll be to tired after HDDMR, but this is something were going to look into for our night over at FW!!!

Thursday
MK-(EMH) Breakfast in room. Dress like princesses. Ride some rides. Meet some char. Get our hair done at the barber shop. Lunch at BOG. Ride, meet, explore. Dinner at GF for Happily Ever After meal.

Pricess day is soooo fun! Good plans! Look up getting FP+ for BOG lunch, it gets crazy, we did it on our last trip but I had to do some weird stuff to figure it out, I noted it on my first PTR somewhere....

Fri
AK (EMH)-have a snack to tide us over till brunch. Ride some rides, explore the park. Brunch at Tusker House. Ride, explore, meet, shows….Go back to resort to change for dinner at Ohana. Watch fireworks from the beach (if allowed and available)

Love this day! I would think youll be able to find SOMEWHERE to watch the fw's from there...

Sat
MK-Breakfast at Crystal Palace (before r/d for pics). Ride, meet, shows, etc. Afternoon tea at 2:00 at the GF. Go back to resort and rest/swim. Return to MK for wishes dessert party.

Sun
DTD-sleep in. hang out. Take a boat to DTD. Lunch at wolfgang puck’s. Disney Quest (because it’s included in the tickets so we might as well check it out).shop, hang. Dinner at Fulton’s.

AWESOME day! This will be a good break from the parks for you and youll get to enjoy all those coupons!!! Youll also get a coupon for like $10 or $15 credit at Planet Hollywood in your booklet, so you can pop over there and use it in the gift shop! You will LOVE WPX! Such an awesome deal for a QS!

Mon
EP-Akershus breakfast. Ride, meet, watch, dance….counter service lunch (suggestions anyone) return to the resort if needed. Dinner-Teppan Edo. Stay for Illuminations

Don't plan lunch! Eat at the F&W!!!!!!! But in case you need a back up I hear that Sunshine Seasons in the Land pavilion is awesome! DO NOT eat the QS in China! (Ack! )

Tuesday
BB-(Audrey’s request) swim, chill, slide, eat LOTS of ice cream. Go to resort to shower and dress for dinner at Artist Point.

Love this! I think our next trip after this one, when Maddie's a little older, I would like to dress up and have a meal at one of the Signature restaurants!

Wed
EP/MK-F&W. eat, drink, explore world showcase, drink….Go back to MK (because we can….) Dinner at BOG

Hahah! True! You can do whhhhaaaattttevaaaa!! But as your mama mentioned if one of these parks has evening EMH's it'd be fun to sleep late, visit one, then go to the EMH park last to stay late! The parks are so different at night!

Thursday
Sleep in. Breakfast at Capt Cooks (because I MUST try Tonga Toast). Mini golf. Go to the resort and nap (hopefully my kids will be tired enough from the last week to actually take a nap) MNSSHP

I dont think the construction at Capt Cooks is scheduled to take that long, so it should be ready to go by fall! They work pretty quick on reno's at Disney! This is my fave day bc hopefully this will be our DisMeet!!!!! MNSSHP is going to be so FUN!!! I cant wait!!

Fri
HS-sleep in (a little…) snack or breakfast in room. Ride, play, meet, etc…Brown Derby lunch. Continue fun…return to the resort if needed. Come back for Fantasmic. Counter service dinner (anybody?)

You're mom and I think the same, I was going to suggest Starring Rolls too, but it closes at like 4pm, so you'd have to make it in time. It's a lighter meal also, sandwiches and such, but you also get those AMAZING cupcakes!! Min & Bills looks good also! They have these cones made out of like cresent dough looking stuff that they stuff with different fillings like pizza!!

Sat
AK/MK-I really think we are gonna want to go back to AK, if not we can go wherever for the morning. Return to MK (because we have to get it in one more time before we go home) Late lunch LTT. Pirate’s league. Ride adventureland rides, etc.

Awesome!! BOG or LTT would be good if you dont end up getting to BOG earlier in the week. Yay for pirate day!

Sun
TL (departure day but since Greg likes to drive overnight we might as well do something else in the world this day, right?)

You SHOULD do something this day! Take advantage of every second you can!! You can rest later, lol!

Okay, give it to me. Ya like it? I feel better about this one. Of course, once the Oct hours come out something will probably be wrong….but oh well. ADRs will be made (probably) I tried to keep from doing any early mornings after late nights because I have a couple of night owls in my family that are gonna want to sleep in.

Always good to plan on sleeping in a day or 2! And we ate dinner late a couple nights and my kids did fine! The meals are SO big, youll find youre not that hungry a lot. I also took some goldfish and teddy grahams with us for the kids if they got munchy from time to time. Our dinner in the castle was like 8:30pm...and even then they did fine waiting. All regular schedules go out the window at DIsney anyway, and yours already eat later, so should be no biggie.

I have heard people say ABC Commissary is good or Backlot express also isn't Starring rolls there? Yea that would be my pick Starring Rolls!!!!

Starring Rolls! Yesssss! ABC & Backlot I've heard good about on both, but they are just ordinary theme park type foods, not real unique or anything, but thats not bad. Sometimes you just want a regular burger or something!

Thursday

Do you have an idea of which makeup you want? make sure you bring a HEAVY DUTY make up remover for this.

Sun
TL (departure day but since Greg likes to drive overnight we might as well do something else in the world this day, right?)

HS is my 2nd favorite... yet we always say goodbye with a ride from soarin..

Okay, give it to me. Ya like it? I feel better about this one. Of course, once the Oct hours come out something will probably be wrong….but oh well. ADRs will be made (probably) I tried to keep from doing any early mornings after late nights because I have a couple of night owls in my family that are gonna want to sleep in.

your giving a LOT to Mk.. not so much love for the other poor parks!

AK is always a "half" day because it closes at 5 and it's only a 1 time deal for us. Epcot has SO MUCH to offer we are going to try to spend more time there plus it's the first park we hit!!!
MK and HS are our favorites. Epcot is the kids favorite! it all boil down to what YOU think your going to like...

Love all your plans!

 

[Denovagirl]

what does (before r/d for pics) mean???

Rope drop! Took me a sec too!

 

[spiritsim]

r/d rope drop we did decide to to MK in the morning and
epcot in the afternoon on wen the 1st and then do Bog on our pirate day.....sat the 4th and sun we are doing typhoon lagoon ........we are going to switch to the water fun and more park hopper tickets.....so that's why both water parks and Disney quest got added in Audrey my 8 year old granddaughter begged to do that. Oh and Mo we are doing Teppan Edo at epcot because its the only thing my husband asked for....so we gotta do it.

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

okay, I edited the plan for the couple of changes that we made. Thank y'all for your input!!!! Yeah, we are just assuming that we will love MK! If we change our minds we will just adjust when we get there!

We are just gonna do the pirate make up. I think Evalyn would probably prefer mermaid, but we aren't gonna tell her there is a difference. Good makeup remover, huh. thanks for the tip!!!

Soooo, the coverbands.......I really like the thought of being able to change these to match our outfits. Of course, I was excited about decorating ours.....good thing I have time to figure out what I want to do

 

[Denovagirl]

Soooo, the coverbands.......I really like the thought of being able to change these to match our outfits. Of course, I was excited about decorating ours.....good thing I have time to figure out what I want to do

You see my dilemma! I think I am just going to paint ours, oh well if they dont match every single outfit I guess. Sigh...

 

[spiritsim]

And keep on Changing!!! and changing and changing..
I only have 2 days set in stone right now...





IN DISNEY!!!! make sure you DO REST!!! otherwise your going to make yourself sick and in lots of PAIN!

we plan on taking breaks like everyday

Do they still do the paint for the hair? I heard a rumor they don't anymore?!?
Otherwise looks awesome


Not sure if not maybe we will do it ourselves
Good Idea. AK always closes so early (5pm) you can do whatever afterwards!!! another great plan.



what does (before r/d for pics) mean???
Should have stayed on the monorail resort for how much your going back to MK!!!

Not in our buget or we would have

Ohhh the boat to DTD is amazing!!! Great down day.



I would play this by ear. where you are in the showcase you might just want to stop and eat there. or as your walking around you might see something you have to have!!

Teppan Edo is the only place my DH asked for

ohhhhhhh i want lots of ice cream! i want to stay at AOA one day...


I will stick with slushies....lactose intolerent
at least you can take the Monorail from Epcot over to the Poly to jump over to MK..



IF it is there!!! Try Kona??? yes you MUST try tonga toast!!! are you having dinner at the resort before MNSSHP?
my two cents is try to have dinner before the party? try Tony's? or Chef Mickeys?

Isn't Kona TS?

STARING ROLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Do you have an idea of which makeup you want? make sure you bring a HEAVY DUTY make up remover for this.

I think they are doing the pirate emperess

HS is my 2nd favorite... yet we always say goodbye with a ride from soarin..


your giving a LOT to Mk.. not so much love for the other poor parks!

actually we are doing epcot like 3 times and AK twice plus both water parks
AK is always a "half" day because it closes at 5 and it's only a 1 time deal for us. Epcot has SO MUCH to offer we are going to try to spend more time there plus it's the first park we hit!!!
MK and HS are our favorites. Epcot is the kids favorite! it all boil down to what YOU think your going to like...

Love all your plans!

MK is my favorite because it's more like Disneyland I love all the fantasyland rides.....not big on coasters, but Raina and Greg are

 

[Luvchefmic]

I am all caught up with you again...sorry it has been SO long I like your change of plans, way back when you had PL on the day of MNSSHP didn't you ? This sounds much better Did you put in a request for early room ready ? I know there is no guarantee of course, but its worth a shot to call them and ask them to put that in your reservations If not, the guys can always take a nap poolside and you girls can do the " We're finally here" dance all over the world wherever you end up
