Alright, so I've posted about this before, but my NY Giants play the Bucs on November 8th - which means my sister and I will be going to the game. We're going to Disney for Christmas as a family once again this year, but we can't be two hours away and NOT stop by Disney!
I know that it's the Wine & Dine marathon weekend and that it's Jersey week - but after experiencing Christmas, I don't think the crowds will bother us much!
Right now we're deciding between two nights or one and whether we'll do the meal plan or not. It all depends on the price of the airline ticket. We already know we'll be spending around $150-200 for the game tickets (can any Bucs fans comment on the price of tickets?!). If the flight is fairly inexpensive, we'll spring for a second night in Disney. If not, no sweat - we'll be back a month later.
So here's the basic idea we've been kicking around:
- Fly down to Tampa on Thursday, November 5th.
Friday, November 6th
- Wake up early Friday, November 6th and drive from Tampa to Disney. Either grab a bite to eat on the way to Disney or grab something at the resort when we arrive.
- Check in and leave car at resort (either Pop! or POFQ)
- Head to EPCOT for F&W Festival. If we have the meal plan, we'd use our two snacks on higher priced items and pay OOP for all other snacks. The F&W festival should fill us up for lunch and dinner (and dessert!)
Saturday, November 7th
- Head toward Magic Kingdom. Hop on the monorail to Poly and eat breakfast at Kona (we've been dying to try that Tonga Toast!)
- Spend the day at Magic Kingdom. If we have the DDP, use two QS for lunch and dinner. Otherwise, we'd pay OOP.
- If we plan on spending two nights at Disney, we'd spend all day at the park, well into nighttime. If not, we'll probably leave the park around 7 or 8 and drive back to Tampa.
Thoughts?
