I'm so glad you posted this thread Steve. I keep telling myself to re-do my itinerary, but I never find the time....now I'm motivated!

However, mine isn't that different from your's.....in fact the only difference is that I wasn't going to do the Thrill Ride Tour. Looks like I better be ready for ToT though!

I'll re-do mine today and post it a little later.

[BelleMom]

Oh boy! Sandra, you must be getting soooo excited. You will be leaving one month from now. I love your tour of the resorts day. I always do that too. Last year, I toured WL, the Poly, GF and ended up with a massage at the Spa. Life can be sweet!

 

[disneycub]

Livia:

FYI, they have a "mini-spa" at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, where you can get a massage, facials, body wraps, etc. That was on my list for last time (a gentleman's facial) but somehow I never got around to it.

Tia:

I remember the first time I rode the Tower of Terror. I was soooooo nervous. But after the first time, you couldn't get me out of line....

 

[luvdsny]

Steve, I kind of think that if I could just get on the dang ride, I'd be okay. But I can't seem to get that far...LOL

I think I want to try Splash Mountain first! If I survive that little drop then I'll be okay to try ToT. Yeah Right!

I LOVE BTMRR. But it took me a long time to build up my nerve for that one too!

But RnR is completely and totally out of the question!!! (note: no smilies)

 

[disneycub]

 

[luvdsny]

I added in RED some changes I am considering.

I doubt I could forgo the Opening Reception, but I'm having a hard time fitting in MK's parades and Fireworks.

We'll see....

 

[Sandra B.]

Tia,

Last year the MVMCP fireworks were much better than the Fantasy in the Sky and the Christmas parade (MVMCP) was great!!! So, make sure you see those!!!!

 

[BelleMom]

Tia:

You can fit that Share a Dream Parade on your thursday schedule! About fireworks: you are going to MVMCP on the 2nd. For all I read about it, they say that they have the most exquisite firework display during the party, a kind of expanded Fantasy in the Sky. So you will certainly be seeing Tinkebell fly!

 

[disneycub]

Yep, the MVMCP fireworks are wonderful. 360 degrees all around the park. 'Cept Tinkerbell doesn't fly. Rudolph does.

 

[Sandra B.]

Last year at MVMCP, Rudolph was flying down!

 

[BelleMom]

Who is Rudolph? How does he flies?

Is he a CM?

 

[NancyIL]

Too bad Spectromagic is only on the 28th and 1st during DIS-Con...both days when we have convention activities. I'm glad I saw it when I was there in July.

I have an itinerary of sorts that I printed for my DH's benefit. I'll be at MGM on 11/26, AK/Epcot on 11/27, and the MK with my family on the 28th until the afternoon parade has ended. I'll register for DIS-Con in the late afternoon, attend the reception, possibly the Illuminations meet, and Jellyrolls.

My DH, kids and FIL will probably go to IOA on the 29th while I go to the character breakfast, visit the parks, and attend the Fantasmic dessert party. If I'm not exhausted, I may go to the Adventurer's Club meet - but that might have to wait until a solo trip.

The 30th will be spent with my family again - including dinner and the Candlelight Processional program Friday night. I may try to catch up with the DATW folks at the very end of the evening - and I'd like to attend the Karaoke, too.

I'm not sure what I'll do on Saturday morning and afternoon, but will have dinner somewhere at Epcot and view Illuminations with everyone.

My family will leave on Dec. 2nd, and I'll have one solo day before returning home. I'm REALLY looking forward to dinner at LTT that night, followed by MVMCP.

Gerri, there is a direct link to WDW's site on this thread Click Here.

I'm sorry I was in too big a hurry to grab the direct link.

And thanks you guys! I knew you would help me make up my mind.

I'll update the schedule ASAP. But I can't quite give up on Spectromagic yet.

:::shaking head::: What was I thinking???



Livia, Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer. I guess he could be a CM too.

 

[FairyGodfriend]

OMG, you are all so organized, I love it! Unfortunately, I am way behind on the planning. But, I'm going to pull it together somehow, thanks to all your hard work (hehehehe). So many meets and activities, I'd hate to miss any of them. Thanks for posting!

Livia...is that a picture of you with your family? Very nice

 

[BelleMom]

Tia: got to look up in the dictionary for reindeer. So it is an animal? The kind of animal that Santa Claus uses to deliver its goods? That is why there is so many people using some kind of horns during Christmas at WDW? Never understood that.

FairyFG: Thank you! Yes, this is me and my family. One day we will be all together there, at the Poly beach for real.
