Leaving June 1st- Haven't planned a goldurned thing!

[grumpyandbashful]

Leaving June 1st for AKL . Just me, DH, and DD 16, all WDW mega-vets, getting away for a one-week trip while the 2 DS's are on a trip to Europe (the poor dears). Between oldest DS's HS graduation, planning their trip, my parents having health problems, etc., I gave up on planning this trip other than sketching out a main park for each day and planning a Wishes cruise (thanks to another kind DISer). Also plan to catch Arlo Guthrie at Epcot. Well, that's it! This is from a former park Nazi who drove her family crazy with my planning.
Any last minute suggestions?

WDW and AKL, here we come!

My last minute sugestions:

Dont plan at all, by that i mean, dont plan what to see and do before you leave to WDW. Atleast thats how i do it. The reason for that is, when i arrive at WDW they will give me loads of brochures to the parks and so on. I like not to plan my park days in advance, but just go with the flow. That way i will be plesantly surpriced if there is some new rides, that i havent heard about before i left to go to WDW.

One more thing:
I dont expect anything special of the resorts im going to stay at, simply because i have never stayed at them before (in my case: Wilderness Lodge and Beach Club). The only thing i expect of those 2 resorts is; that its nice to look at,stay at and has a Disney feel to it.

Have a great stay at WDW !!

Are there any restaurants that you really want to eat at, or character meals? If so, I would do a couple priority sittings. If not, I say just go and have a good time. It sounds as if you've been busy enough the way it is! Hope this helps.

You may want to make some PS dining arrangements.

grumphyandbashful,
we are in the same boat - DH (who does not do WDW) has had a nasty viral infection for 3 weeks; I have stress fracture which doc says will be fine by our departure (28th), ailing parents, aliling pet and DS's Middle School graduation plus b'day - this is the first time in 9 years I have not had all my ps's. got the room, got the limo and am going to try and make a few dinner ps's - thank goodness we eat late and are flexible - I am just grateful to go and know it will work out

You might even just put the number to call to make a PS in your cell phone then whatever park you are in or place you are in you can call and see what's available while you are there.

Mamaquack - you and I are about in the same boat, but at least I don't have the stress fracture to worry about, just stress !
Might make a couple of PS's, but we don't make many, anyway.
Looking forward to walking into that gorgeous AKL lobby and forgetting the real word for awhile .

grumpyandbashful,
you know ds(almost 14) says the same thing to me about YC - one of his and my favorite things about WDW is walking in to that YC lobby and doing the sigh' - I'm gonna focus on that and keep ice on the foot - I'm about 90% now, sick cat came home today from hospital, hubby is off meds tomoro and doing way better so things are looking up - here's to all of us having a good visit with The Mouse!
