Our 2nd Anniversary Disneymoon - Aug. 30 to Sept. 6! *We're home! 9/7*

[DisneymoonJess07]

GUESS WHAT!!

They posted the August hours! And better yet - EMH at MK on the 30th!! So my plan will 100 % work, I think - go to MK, leave for dinner at Chef Mickey's then come back, and then spend the next day at MK as well!

Anyone have any ideas for a good place to eat dinner on the second night of MK?

Later on, when I get home, I am going to plan out my days a little more carefully based on hours and stuff from July - we'll see how that goes, I suppose! Only a few more weeks until I can make ADRs!

ETA: Staci, don't Disney fonts make everything better!?

 

[stacikristine]

YAY!! I'm so glad they posted the hours and that EMH for MK is on your first night! That will be so great. We're going to The Wave in the Contemporary on our MK day. I don't know if you've thought about them. They're a very organic place--I don't know if they're kosher or not though. And yes--Disney fonts make everything better!

Does the name "The Wave" remind anyone else of that movie in high school of the teacher that gets everyone to be nazis? I think it was called that. Anyway, I will look into it! Even if they aren't kosher, most places at Disney can get kosher food for you, so I will look into that. I like the idea of doing monorail hotels so we can be nearby and it'd be easy to do!

I really like Kona at the polynesian. I'm sure they'll have kosher food there as well! The Grand Floridian Cafe is also decent if you want one of the monorail restaurants. Then there's always Tony's at the MK. Decent.

 

[DisneymoonJess07]

So, I think I have a plan for how I am going to do my hours planning.

It looks like Disney starts a new schedule on August 24, and all the information I have says that it continues on Aug 30 & 31. In that case, then, it should continue for the rest of that week. And that's all I really need to know!

This is how it's looking:
Sunday: MK - afternoon/evening; eat at Chef Mickey's, go back for EMH! Watch Wishes?
Monday: MK - spectro and if needed, Wishes?
Tuesday: DHS, with Fantasmic! (9AM to 9PM)
Wednesday: Epcot (and our anniversary!) (9AM to 9PM)
Thursday: AK (9AM to 7PM)
Friday: Epcot (9AM to 9PM)
Saturday: Day off, Cirque de Soliel (9PM)
Sunday: Breakfast, something? leave with ME at 12:00PM

 

[stacikristine]

It sounds like you have great plans!!! Our trips will be here before we know it

 

[DisneymoonJess07]

I can't wait! I get to do ADRs on June 1!

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

Your plans look great! Are you getting excited to finally be able to make ADRs? Our 90 day mark is a week before yours and I swear, it feels like it's taking F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!!!

 

[DisneymoonJess07]

It really does feel like it's taking a long time, but I'm also not totally ready to make the reservations yet, so it's okay! I think if I were 100% ready, it would be a lot harder to wait!

Tentative Schedule (Dare I say it?)
Saturday: Day Off, Cirque de Soliel (9PM)?

Cirque is great - taking the boat from POR to DTD should work. Shabbat ends at 8:26pm, so it may be tight. But great Sat night choice!

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

If you can do it I would def. recommend Cirque, my family and I went to see it last year and we were blown away.

 

[DisneymoonJess07]

Update on our itinerary - switched our second Epcot day with our AK day. So we're doing MK, MK, DHS, EP, EP, AK. Sweet. I am thinking of booking Cirque tonight. I just think that's the way to do it - makes a lot of sense!

Sunday: MK - afternoon/evening; eat at Chef Mickey's, go back for EMH! Watch Wishes?
Monday: MK - spectro and if needed, Wishes?
Tuesday: DHS, with Fantasmic! (9AM to 9PM)
Wednesday: Epcot (and our anniversary!) (9AM to 9PM)
Thursday: Epcot(9AM to 9PM)
Friday: AK (9AM to 7PM)
Saturday: Day off, Cirque de Soliel (9PM)
Sunday: Breakfast, Downtown Disney? leave with ME at 12:00PM

Agreed on Cirque. Go for it. I'm a big fan of this.

While I disagree that AK is a "half-day park," some feel that it is. If you make Friday a 1/2 to 2/3 day in AK, consider a couple of hours at a spa before evening sets in?

I've only spent a few hours there before and Raif's never been there, so I sort of imagine that we might want to spend the whole day. I like the fact that it closes early though so that we can be back in time for the evening at the hotel. The spa thing sounds nice though...have to talk to Raif about that one

I would spend the day, too. Just offering an enticing alternative.

For us AK is definitely a full-day park. Your plans look good! ADR's are just around the corner! How EXCITING!!

Ack! I need to figure out where we are eating!!

So excited to make those reservations and figure things out!!

Raif and I had a long discussion about Disney. Turns out he has not been as gung ho as I had hoped, and I'm not totally sure what to do about it. I think part of it is that he has so many negative memories from when he went with his parents, plus I don't think we have travelled enough together for him to be comfortable that it won't be like travelling with his parents (who take awful vacations, it sounds like). We are planning to talk more about it this afternoon, but we will see.

He says he thinks he will have fun, but he's just not excited to talk about it, which I guess I don't understand - we talk about it more so we can make sure that it's even more fun. So whatever... I worry that he won't be really excited until we actually arrive

Boys can be so stoopid. My DH isn't excited either. He only gets excited about 2 things: football &

My DH likes WDW and enjoys taking our kids there. He tolerates me talking about it, but it is not how he would prefer to spend time. I understand this and try not to talk too much about it. That's why I come on the Dis boards and share my love (and obsession) with people who understand. We're here for you!
