Hi all! Another here going in December. We are staying at Pop 7-14th.
We are celebrating my sons 8th bday on the 11th at Studios. We let him choose the park - even though he has never been there.
This is my son's first trip there. My 5th and my dh's 2nd. We went back in Dec 1998 before the kiddos. That was the last time we were there. That was also my first time staying at a resort. I lived south of WDW for a while so we made daily trips to MK way back when.
So, as for planning...If it wasn't for the DIS boards I wouldn't know what to do. When before I just called and booked the hotel and bought tickets when we got there. Had no idea what to expect until finding the DIS boards just a few months ago. Thank god for DIS.
My itinerary is as follows:
Arrive to late to do anything on Dec 7th. No early flights - too late in booking I suppose.
Dec 8 - Pick up fridge from fellow DISer! Yeah! Then hed off to DTD for the day. Check out EARL and eat at Planet Hollywood. I'm doing PH more for the boys as they have never seen anything like this before.
Dec 9 - It's MK! Not sure if we are going to do the
MVMCP yet. Eating at Pecos Bill. Nothing too fancy for us.
Dec 10 - EPCOT! YES my favorite! I'm eating just desserts all day! jk - maybe not. Eating at San Angel cuz that was all that was open. Really wanted Le Cellier cuz I heard it was wonderful. Apparently so! Bummer.
Dec 11 - STUDIOS for my sons bday. Really want to check out the parade. Anxious for my Aidan to see the Power Rangers!!! Eating at 50's Prime Time and at Pizza Planet for dinner. Sons choice.
Dec 12 - REST DAY! But we are going to Kona for breakfast. Made resie yesterday for that one. Glad there was one available. Was very afraid. Then we are going to Kona for dinner. lol Lots of Kona in one day. Should be fun.
Dec 13 - AK for our last day. This is our Character dining day with Donald for breakfast. I'm excited about this. Then T-Rex for lunch. We are going to take it easy that night and have pizza from the hotel.
Dec 14 - We leave the resort early to catch our flight at 8:30 to Detroit.
It's going to be a fun fast week and I'm thrilled and sad at the same time. It's going to fly by like a blurr! I must take millions of pictures! Of course we will partnered up with some other DISers for the photopass. I will be anxious to get home to see those!
To smell that Florida air again. I can't wait!
