Ok, so I'm super-new at posting on the boards here, but I'm hoping to make new friends and learn a whole lot, so I'm just going to jump in... here goes!
First, a prologue of sorts: This trip started out as a small adventure for myself and three of my best friends - we'd planned to go for a few days and we would join up with two other friends (who just need to get engaged already!) who had already planned a Florida vacation. Then a very dear friend of mine went through a divorce, so I said - "Join us and bring the kids to Disney!" Then, this past spring, I was in a production of All Shook Up (with the original other three), and got along so well with the stage manager that we invited her along.
The Company:
The Original Four
Eric (Me!)
Dale
Amanda
Jillian
Two other friends
Meghann
Rick
Dear Friends
Dorothy
Antonia
Gabriel
Stage Manager
Kim
The Setting:
Disney's Coronado Springs
August 19th-26th, 2011
*Only the Original Four (OF) are staying all 8 days, the rest are staying four/five days.*
Scenes:
Day One:
Arrive at MCO at 8:53 (we hope!), Drop our stuff off and head to Animal Kingdom. We have a reservation for the Spirit of Aloha show at 8:00.
Day Two:
A day at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Lunch reservation at 50's Prime Time Cafe. Hope to catch Fantasmic!
Day Three:
We have an ADR for Breakfast at 1900 Park Fare; and then it's off to the Magic Kingdom.
Day Four:
Most of the gang is planning to hang around the resort, but Dorothy, Antonia, Gabe and I are heading back to the Magic Kingdom, the others are off to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We have a reservation for Lunch at the Liberty Tree Tavern.
Dinner at the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue.
Day Five:
A day at Epcot - we need to do the Kim Possible mission! We have an ADR for dinner at the Nine Dragons restaurant (not my first choice, but it was hard to get ten people to agree on something), as our last group outing.
Day Six:
We say good-bye to Kim, Meghann, Rick, Dorothy, Antonia and Gabe.
The OF will have dinner at the Grand Floridian Cafe, and then head to La Nouba.
Day Seven:
Our last day at the Magic Kingdom. Dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table.
Day Eight:
Breakfast at BOMA at Animal Kingdom Lodge, and then probably some last minute shopping. Our plane leaves MCO at 7:10, so we'll probably have to catch DME around 4.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only day I'm a little nervous about is our first day. Do you think we'll be able to make it on-time for Spirit of Aloha?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm determined to to create a trip report, as a trip with a group of actors, artists, people in the theatre & kids, is *bound* to create some worthwhile adventures and stories.
