Welcome to my very FIRST pre-trip report!! Although...since the trip is only 64 days from now
, it is more similar to a posting of our itinerary and plans that we have already made for the trip! The only thing left to do is to make our fast pass reservations in FOUR days (I can't believe how fast it has come up!!) and score a Be Our Guest Fast Pass for lunch! After we make fast pass reservations, it will be difficult to change many of our plans so...with that in mind, I am REALLY hoping and looking for any feedback, suggestions, or comments that you have about our plans
