Oh, I should visit more often, question of the day how fun!

5/24 - HS after late afternoon arrival, gotta get DD8 on RnR to start off our trip!
5/25 - MK
5/26 - morning AK, afternoon one of the waterparks, evening DTD
5/27 - EPCOT
5/28 - HS at rope drop to get as much in before our evening flight

It's the quickest trip we've done, should be jam packed and fun!

I can't speak for anyone else who has a "longer" trip but my vacation is a mandatory two weeks and the two weekends on either side (for example this year it is May 12-27), that must be taken all together in one lump, and I don't get any sick/personal days to add to that. So since I can't break up my vacation we prefer to spend as much of the time as we can afford to actually on vacation. Because Disney is more expensive than any other place we've been so far, we had to cut it several days short to stay within our budget.

Lots of Epcot and MK because those are our favorites. And we'll be taking it slower than usual this year since my DH will be in an ECV. We allowed more days for a more relaxed pace. (Hopefully! lol)

We always start out with 5-7 days and then end up adding more as we gt closer. I don't know why we don't just book the whole thing to start. I guess it's just our thing.

We are spending three days at the beach before heading to WDW, so I'm hoping to be nice and relaxed when we get there.

5/24- Epcot
5/25- bon voyage

We've taken shorter trips. For us, it ends up costing us so much to fly that I try to get as much time as we can. If we're going to pay 1200 to 1500 to get there and back, I might as well sneak in some Universal days and as much Disney time as I can.
My husband gets very specific weeks off from his work/school schedule so we plan it out as far ahead of time as we can go and squeeze the maximum amount of time out of it

Question of the Day:

In what order will you be visiting the parks? ​

My family tends to decide what park to visit during breakfast, but we usually end up in the parks with our ADRs at dinner time. Otherwise, it's just on the fly.

~~~

5/13 - Arrival day. We get there in the afternoon, and go right to Magic Kingdom. We have an ADR for Crystal Palace that night. We'll meet up with my family, and just take it easy. We're going to be exhausted by the end of the night.

5/14 - No set plans, except that we have an ADR for the Liberty Tree Tavern!

5/15 - No set plans, except that we have an ADR at Tutto Italia!

5/16 - This is the day my boyfriend and I are going to be off on our own. YAY! We're planning to go to Epcot, and then we have an ADR at O'Hana. After that, Fantasia Gardens mini-golf!

5/17 - No set plans, except that we have an ADR for Biergarten!

5/18 - We might go to Star Wars weekend this day, because my BF is a huge fan (we'll go to atleast one Star Wars day before we leave). We have an ADR at the Royal Banquet Hall.

5/19 - No set plans, but we have an ADR at the Sci-Fi Diner.

5/20 - Get up at the crack of dawn, and go home.

Had to chime in as I see from your tickers you have another trip planned for later in the Summer. We too are doing a short trip in May followed by another visit in the Summer-August being our week long trip w/ the kids. So excited to do a no-kid trip lol. We've done them before-SO totally worth it!

 

[katibosch]

We are 30 days out today and got our Mickey Mail packet! Somehow seeing that makes it feel more real. This coming month is probably going to be very difficult at work especially, so having this trip to look forward to has been wonderful!
