My plans for Sunday

[ginodeyoung]

Before this year, as an AP holder I would avoid the crowded summer months and concentrate my visits from September to May. But I've found a way to face the summer head-on.

With a friend, I'll hit Starbucks at DTD around 7am, head to the DL gate and be in the park for rope drop. We'll quickly take in 4-6 rides, people-watch, wander through a couple shops, throw coins in the wishing well, return to DTD, have an early lunch and be back to my car by 11am ready for the rest of the day to begin.

I've tried this a few times this year and it's been fun, taking the park in little bite-sized portions. I've also found time to add in exploration at the GC and DLH.

Sounds like a plan.

Wow, I wish I lived closer so I could do DLR in short doses like that! Sounds GREAT!

We have friends who live close to DLR that basically do the same thing year round. When their daughter was younger, they would leave when it was time for a nap. They also made sure to leave the house to be at the ages before opening. I know this because we did it with them once.

We're driving down tomorrow and staying with the same friends. We'll be hitting the park together on Sunday. We'll see if the game plan is the same, or if well stay longer, since our kids don't need to nap anymore.

All I can say is that their daughter is one lucky gal! She has gotten to go to DL waaaay more times in her 5 years than I have in my 40+ years!

I hope your visit today was great, 94bruin!

We arrived on Main Street just as the park opened, we got a Space FP, then rode Alice which looks great! Then it was Matterhorn, Dumbo, Casey Jr, BTMRR, Buzz, used the Space FP and hit Star Tours on the way out around 10am! It was a great morning!

It looked like today would be busy and hot, but I guess that's to be expected.
