My plan on the 12th (of October... I'm planning ahead): I arrive at Del Sol probably around 3:30/4. Then I'm going to get my hair done at a local salon (thanks for the Yelp suggestions - I've found a place).
When do the ticket booths close? I have a ticket thanks to AirMiles, however I don't want to waste time the next morning, so I want to get my photo done that evening and maybe wander around for a bit before heading back to the hotel... at close
.
On the 13th I'm going to hit MM and then when I catch my breath, go and flip my 5DPH to an AP because discounts! My friend from San Diego will meet me at some point before lunch. When I upgrade, I do that at the ticket booths? Do I get my photo done there again, or at the gate? And will it be a new photo or do they use the one they've already taken?
Now, here's where the timings hit - the earliest I can get the PTN On The Go at Aladdin's is 12:00 and that's for the 8:45 (?) parade correct? Can I ask them for the late parade even if I get our meal at noon?
It's also the evening I want my fancy-schmancy dinner at Napa Rose. Will a 6pm dinner at the Chef's Table for 2 allow enough time to wander down to the seating area for PTN by 7:45 or so? Or should we move the dinner up to 5:00 or 5:30?
Friday, with luck, will be a MHP night, but my friend will be gone by then, so unless someone else comes to keep me company, I'll be solo the rest of the weekend.
Saturday I was going to treat myself to a WOC Dessert party. When does the second show start? I think I'd like to catch that one so I can ride RSR at night beforehand.
Sunday I have NOTHING planned so I'm going to wander around and check things out as I feel like - hit some character meet & greets probably. And Monday my flight leaves around 2:55 from SNA, so I might even have enough time to squeak in a couple hours in the park before taking the shuttle back to the airport.
What timings or events would you tweak?
I know Del Sol isn't an amazing place, but it's close and affordable seeing as how I'm paying for the majority of the stay by myself. I called and they were kind enough to give me the AP rate as long as I show my AP before the end of my stay and they're going to only charge me parking for the time my friend is with me, so I won't have to pay for parking the whole time.
You guys have great ideas, so thanks for taking the time in reading and answering.
