I just can't wait anymore! I'm SO excited about our upcoming trip. Its been a long couple of months and I am in extreme need of a get-away.
A little background. I have a WONDERFUL friend who lives in Indiana with her family. They got us hooked on WDW with their trip stories and because of them, DD and I went our on 1st DISNEY Vacation in Feb 2004. Now I've always loved Disney since I grew up in FL, but haven't been in forever, and have NEVER stayed on property until 2/04. Well last Christmas we were with friends in Bradenton and went over for a 2 day visit to WDW and got annual passes
Once you have Annual Passes you have to use them. SO we spent a week there in June.
So about a year ago Holly and her family started planning their next trip. Last Spring I decided that A) I missed Holly and B) we needed another visit to make our APs worth it. SO I planned our trip to go with them!
I've always been an avid planner of our trips and been very rigid on our schedule. Well, this trip is at slow season AND Holly's trip, so I'm very excited to just sit back and enjoy the ride this time.
Here's our plan!
Friday Oct. 8 - DD and I leave NC and drive down to Orlando to stay offsite for 1 night
Saturday Oct. 9 - DD and I have ADRs in Norway. We'll enjoy Epcot then go check-in at POP. Holly and fam will be flying in and get to VWL around 3:00
We'll meet up at Epcot later for dinner & some relaxation
Sunday Oct. 10 - AK! Breakfast at Donalds, enjoy AK. Spiff up, go to Le Cellier for dinner / Illuminations
Monday Oct. 11 - MK all day then a WISHES Cruise (HOLLY ROCKS)
Tuesday Oct. 12 - MK then MGM for dinner, Fantasmic & Osborn lights
Wednesday Oct. 13 - SNIFF DD and I leave and Holly & Fam enjoy the rest of their vacation
I'm so laid back and relaxed about this vacation I just cannot WAIT!!!
11 DAYS!!!!! WOOHOO
