4 Days til Disney!!
I can't believe how close we are!! I've been trying to keep busy this week to keep my mind off it. This past weekend the weather finally turned around for the better. It's noticeably warmer and the sun feels so good.

I put away the North Face and broke out the spring jackets - this is a big deal to me.

It's put me in serious spring cleaning mode.

I've also been able to walk the boys to school everyday (I go 3x/day since Sammy has 1/2 day K) which I consider training for all the walking we'll do at Disney.
Since it's all I can think about I thought I'd write out a final, loose schedule for each day:
Tuesday, April 21 - Epcot
We are scheduled to arrive at MCO at 12:20. I'm guessing we'll get to YC around 2 or later. There's a decent chance that the room will be ready but we'll have suits in our carry-on for the pool anyway. We have fast passes for Spaceship Earth at 3:40 and the Seas at 4:40 which we may or may not use. I think this afternoon will go one of two ways: the boys will see the pool and we won't be able to drag them away or they will be lured to Epcot to spend their gift cards in the Japanese store. I'm fine either way. At 6:40 we have an ADR for Beaches & Cream where we will split a No Way Jose. Lastly we have a FP for Illuminations to close out the day.
Wednesday, April 22 - AK
We are going to try to get to the park as early as possible because they have EMH at 8am. I have FP for Kali River Rapids at 9:05, Safari at 10:40, and Dinosaur at 12:30. I'm hoping to grab some coffee and a bite to eat and hit the safari first thing before our first FP. We were hoping to have lunch at Flame Tree but it looks like it will still be closed so we'll probably do Yak and Yeti. Some things we want to accomplish on this day: Flights of Wonder, all animal trails/treks, FOTLK, and Finding Nemo. We'll do as much as we can but will have to leave the park fairly early because we have dinner reservations at bluezoo and plans for the boys to spend that time at Camp Dolphin.
Thursday, April 23 - MK
MK opens at 8 this day and we need to be at RD because I want to see the Welcome Show for the first time. Then we have FP for 7DMT at 9:25 and Peter Pan at 10:25. We will hop on the monorail to visit GF for the first time for lunch at GFC at 12:45. We will go back to MK for rides and the parade, dinner at CHH, and then a FP for MSEP, stay for Wishes, and head back to YC for the night.
Friday, April 24 - Epcot
This is a day that we don't have to make RD so we might take it slow this morning. We have FP Turtle Talk at 10:10 and Soarin' at 11:25 so technically we don't have to make it to Future World much before 11. This is the day I'd planned to sample the F&G booths for lunch but I've been reading some TRs and it doesn't look like we'll enjoy much at the food booths. It doesn't really matter since I know we can find something at one of the WS counter service restaurants. Here is where I'd like to make a change to my plans and hope I'll have more luck as we get closer. I can't remember why but I reserved Biergarten at 7:30. I'm hoping to move this up at least an hour but so far
MDE only has openings at 4:50 and 7:45. If we can't get earlier I'll just stick with 7:30 but I'd like to get back to the hotel and changed for the movie they play on the beach at 8:30. This evening it will be Big Hero 6 which we haven't seen and the boys are looking forward to it.
Saturday, April 25 - HS
We will head to HS for EMH at 8am. My first goal is to get the boys signed up for Jedi training. We have FP for TSMM at 10:25, Frozen Sing-Along at 12:10 and Star Tours at 1:10. We have an early dinner at 5:10 Mama Melrose's Fantasmic! package followed by Fantasmic! at 8:30. We also want to try the Animation Station and the Movie ride. I might try to hit ToT or RnRC by myself if the lines are short enough. We'll probably have a late breakfast or early lunch at Starring Rolls or Boardwalk Cafe. A good friend of mine lives in the Tampa area and she might be able to join us for the day. I'm not getting my hopes up but that would be really nice as I haven't seen her in a year or so.
Sunday, April 26 - MK
This day we have an 8:15 ADR at Crystal Palace for early park entry. Our FPs are Pirates of the Caribbean at 10:45, A&E at 12:30, and Buzz Lightyear at 2:00. We have an ADR for BOG at 1:10. This isn't going to leave us much time for our FP. We'll have to try to hit A&E as close to 12:30 as possible and hopefully we'll have time for Buzz before the window ends at 3:00. It's doable I think. Any thoughts? I don't think we'll stay very late and we'll probably head back to the resort for some dinner and packing.

The movie this night is Alexander and the Terrible, ... Day. The boys want to see it and this will make for a relaxing last night.
Monday, April 27 - Epcot
We will spend the morning in FW where we have FP for Spaceship Earth, Test Track and The Seas. We have lunch planned for 12:50 at San Angel Inn. We will spend our last minutes at WS and then head back to catch the ride back to MCO for our 7 something flight home.
So those are our plans in a nutshell. I want to meet as many characters as possible at all parks and ride as many rides as we can with short lines. I'm considering the Behind the Seeds tour and Pirates Quest game at MK if the boys are interested. Can't Wait!!!
