Briana (Niece, 9 who has NEVER been to Disney, wait never been out of MA on vacation! LOL)
These reports may not be as fun as others, but I will tell you--this plan just worked
I enjoyed every SINGLE second of my trip...EVERY SECOND. I wouldn't change a thing. Hope you all enjoy
I am sure I will miss details that MADE my vacation what it was, but this is the gist even though fairly long.
We awoke @ 6 am to start cleaning up the room and called bell services to pick up our luggage @ 6:45. We had decorated the room for V-Day after the kids went to bed and left "Disney surprises" for them to find after they awoke. It was awesome to see their faces as they found Mickey and Minnie heart stuffies, candy and cards.
We headed down to check out and hail a cab @ 7 and headed to POR. We quickly checked in. We went to find our room--# 3445. Which was close to the leisure pool and West bus Depot. Pretty good location, just very far from the food court and main building.
Left for MK for opening after a quick bite to eat @ the food court we headed to our bus stop. We waited a few minutes then the bus came, there were 4 stops after ours.
Finally making it to the MK (after opening EEEEK!) we ran to Space MTN and grabbed a FP then off to Buzz...There was a wait time of 5 minutes--NOT, we ran thru the que and jumped on---4 times in a row!
Off to Space with a wait time of---5 minutes! HAHA Jumped on and ran back through for our FP. Off to Toon town as it had just opened. did our Mickey Meet & Greet and then through Minnie's house. Skipped Barnstormer even though the kids asked, but they weren't too bummed, as we ran back and hit Pooh, Snow White, and Mickey Philharmagic. Wait time for Peter Pan was up to 30 minutes at this point so we decided to catch it later in the week. Next up It's a Small World (CAN *I* say ICK?!? I hate this ride but Mom wanted to do it). Jumped off and headed to The Haunted Mansion. Trae HATED it and cried when the ghost caught a ride with us--he would have been fine but started off spooked by the CM who greeted us walking in. Hit Country Bears then LUNCH @ Peco's Bills...which was a fave last trip--not so much this time. The changed the kids hot dog meal (it is now hot dogs IN beans) and my son wasn't very happy. Total Bill $35, total Paid $0 on DP
Next up, Big Thunder! One of my faves. We rode it with just a 10 minute wait time and grabbed fast passes to use a bit later. It was only in the 50's so we skipped Splash *and vowed to get back but never did this trip!!*
Decided to hit Pirates (which for some reason I thought was closed) and ooops I forgot NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY and got yelled at! :::blushing::.
slowly made it out to adventureland and got Mickey IC bars and walked Swiss Treehouse. At this point we decided to go back and check if our luggage was there (it was getting chilly and we needed winter coats that night)...The luggage was @ POR but hadn't made it to our room (*change from AKL to POR*)and they apologized and sent it down. quick change and back to MK for our dinner ADR's @ LTT. I LOVED this meal! It was a lot of fun, and the food was good! Total bill: $140...Total paid: $0! Dining Plan rocks.
We decided to mosey around until Wishes and we got to film a bit (the V-DAY hearts added in was awesome!) then headed back to POR for bed.
Next up---6 am wake up for our day in Epcot!!!
