I am so excited to see more pics from the Boardwalk! Ive never stayed in the Epcot area resorts and I REALLY want to. Yacht Club is top of my list, but Im really intrigued by the Boardwalk! Ive only been in that area once to rent a surrey bike.....it ended up POURING that day but it was still hilarious and so much fun! lol

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Yeah for getting the 1 bedroom at Boardwalk with boardwalk views to boot! Really can't beat the location or setting of that resort!

Sounds like a great plan to hit up Herodotus in World showcase and then try the new place at the boardwalk - not too much moving around on arrival day is nice

Definitely think it make sense to save the FP+ for DHS afternoon and then you can hit up favorites like the people mover at MK.

BTW - there is a new kids show on Disney Junior set in the future and I love that they work for the "Tomorrowland Transit Authority"

 

[MissMaryQC]

Loving the day two plans Kathy!

I can't wait to see your pics of the one bedroom!

I agree on the afternoon FP+ there are always less people in the mornings so I figure afternoons are when you'll need the passes.

I hope you're feeling better soon, if not already.

Kathy, I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures of the Boardwalk Villas. I can see Carolyn and myself planning a trip there in the next few years. We walked around the resort for over an hour on our last trip to Disney and asked ourselves, "how come we have never spent some time here?" I don't even mind the clown pool.

Like you, we also love CP for an early morning ADR. Sure, walking down an almost empty Main Street and seeing the Castle without a crowd is nice, but I actually enjoy the breakfast offerings there ( I am addicted to the breakfast lasagna). And yes I will admit I have never grown up and love Pooh and his friends. Next to Goofy, Tigger is my favorite character.

When it comes to DHS, I share your love for ToT; Carolyn tolerates the ride and goes on with me only because it is one of my favorites. Now unlike you, I absolutely love the RnRc, fortunately Carolyn loves it as well. As for Sci- Fi, I have never eaten there. The theme is interesting, but after losing my weight it's been almost 4 years since I have had anything fried including french fries. We may still have to go for the experience and find something else besides the burger and fries.

Hi there! i was only 2 pages behind! YAY ME!
All i have to say is you better bring us TONS AND TONS of pictures!!! I am so excited for you and your trip!!! WE NEED TO SEE IT ALL!

 

[ddstratton]

Sounds like plans for an absolutely lovely day!

 

[emmysmommy]

I wouldn't miss this one either! Joining in and so thrilled that you squeezed in another Dis trip!

 

[Nermel9]

Ahh so jealous you will be at the Boardwalk, it's my dream resort and I just can't seem to stay there!! I attempted to rent points for May but everything was already booked for my dates! Someday!

I keep forgetting there is that new restaurant at the Boardwalk, I'll have to check that out!

Yum, Crystal Palace, best way to start out a day in MK if you ask me! I don't have an ADR there for my trip, but I keep thinking about adding one, can't stay away from that puffed french toast!

Great plans so far!

 

[Pluto0809]

Boardwalk view! Nice!

I really want to try the new restaurant on the Boardwalk, it sounds yummy. Can't wait to read your review.

Nothing like starting the morning off at MK!

I haven't been reading all of the replies so someone might have already mentioned this but the Great Movie ride is now a category one so you can't get both it and TSM. I really dislike the tiers at Epcot and HS!

Oh, and if you remember, ask for Tony at Sci Fi. He's been a waiter there since the place opened and he is awesome!

 

[missangelalexis]

Joining in! So funny that our trip overlaps, too bad our park plans don't though!

Early morning flights are a doozy but it just means you have a good chunk of your first day to get to a park! Spending it in Epcot sounds great

Your MK morning/HS afternoon sound fun! Starting the first full day of the trip at Crystal Palace, perfect!

 

[sunnysideup3]

I love Sci-Fi. My husband said he's "over it", but I would totally go back in a heart beat. The reubens are good. So are the shakes!

Tower of Terror... I love that ride

 

[schmass]

Good idea to save your FP+ for your afternoon at DHS!

Seeing your picture of Sci-Fi makes me think I could have kept our reservation there. We have never been, and I changed it because I didn't want one of us to have to sit alone, but it looks like there would have been plenty of room for Rory to sit in the middle of Michael and I. Oh well, there is always next time!

 

[CaseFace5]

Just when I thought I was getting used to this new DIS..I come on and realize that I wasn't really subscribed to your PTR and I haven't gotten any "alerts" on it so I had no clue you'd updated! Grr..

Anyhow, YAY for staying at the Boardwalk again! This is an area that I really want to check out on our trip. I have never been there and I think it would be a nice break to the day to go check it out!

Awesome on getting a before park opening CP. That might be the thing I am most looking forward to!

My plans for DHS sound like yours, except switch out ToT for RnRC.

 

[BebopAngel88]

The Sci-Fi just looks like a fun experience overall!

 

[glaserjm]

Boardwalk view 1 bedroom...score! How nice of your friend and what a cool experience for you. We always say that we need to stay somewhere other than OKW, and Boardwalk and Beach Club are at the top of the list (proximity to the World Showcase and Grand Marnier slushies are key!)

Looks like a good first day planned. I've always liked CP for a character breakfast and just for its general atmosphere with all the glass and openness. We haven't done SciFi yet, but I think it's next on our HS table service list.

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Seeing as though MK is my favourite, starting any day there is a great plan. I love the idea of early entry, but I also love the welcome show so much. That's a tough one for me.

Haha, I love that you used that particular photo for "The Studios". May as well highlight the awesome Boardwalk one more time.

Starring Rolls!! Red Velvet Cupcake. I'm kinda salivating here.

 

[ksl5f123]

Sounds like you have a pretty yummy day planned - Crystal palace breakfast, Starring Rolls cupcakes, and burgers from Sci Fi. I could go for a cupcake right now.

Day 2 -- Monday, May 4

Today we will start here:



We have my favorite ADR...early entry into the Magic Kingdom here:


Nope, unfortunately those cute kids won't be joining us (unless Tim wants me to take them off his hands for a week )

We can't make our FP+ selections until March 4 so I don't have those for you. But I know for sure we will be do some of these (again none of the people you see in these photos besides me will be on this trip...these are just the easiest pictures to find right now). I'm not sure that we will even pick FP+ here since we are going to a different park in teh afternoon and we will be back to the MK the next evening.







Sometime mid-afternoon, we will head here:



No, not the Boardwalk, but the Studios.

The first thing we will probably do is hit the Starring Rolls place as Nicki LOVES the cupcakes here.

Here is where I think we will pick our FP+ for. I know Nicki and I want to do Tower of Terror and Toy Story Mania; Nicki nor I do Rock & Roll and not sure Todd will want to go alone. I'm thinking the third FP+ will probably be the Great Movie Ride since none of us are big Star Tours fans.





We have a dining reservation here:



We really enjoy Sci Fi as long as we stick with the basics -- burgers, reubens and awesome onion rings (no more pasta for me).

We will close the night out at the Studios.

Up next, a new dining experience and bowling

I'm waffling on CP for our trip. I really want the early ADR for the photo-ops, but I'm afraid it will be too much on our little guys (and us!) as both our MK days will be late days.

 

[princessbelle2015]

Your plans for day sound great.

 

[afwdwfan]

We have my favorite ADR...early entry into the Magic Kingdom here:

I'm not the least bit surprised. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Nope, unfortunately those cute kids won't be joining us (unless Tim wants me to take them off his hands for a week )

Hey Tim!!!! Kathy is offering free child care!!! You'd better jump at the opportunity before she changes her mind!

No, not the Boardwalk, but the Studios.

Thanks for clarifying that confusing picture.

The first thing we will probably do is hit the Starring Rolls place as Nicki LOVES the cupcakes here.

Those cupcakes are awesome!!!!

Here is where I think we will pick our FP+ for. I know Nicki and I want to do Tower of Terror and Toy Story Mania; Nicki nor I do Rock & Roll and not sure Todd will want to go alone. I'm thinking the third FP+ will probably be the Great Movie Ride since none of us are big Star Tours fans.

Good plan. Really makes a lot of sense. No point getting FP+ at MK when you'll be there in the morning. They'll be much more valuable here.
