Joining the game, too. Totally late, but better late than never! I love the table you made on your intro post. How did you make that?!![]()
We booked our flights!
We booked our flights!
We got awesome flights out of a close small airport at great times. We will be getting into MCO at 9:40am and will be leaving MCO at 7:00pm. I feel that with these flight times we will be getting the most out of our first and last days! I'm so excited! It definitely feels more real now.

I did that same exact thing a few days go when we decided to do harry potter. It's insane... but I promise you you'll do it at least once more
Congrats on double digits!
Hi! I really like your new plans!!! Don't feel bad about changing it, we all do it!
I'm actually a travel agent & I STILL change my plans around a bazillion times before our trip!!! I actually changed my ADR's around the other night & I'm sure the plans still aren't "definite" as of yet! I honestly have an easier time planning other people's trips than my own!!!
I love your ADR choices!!! It's a very, very hard decision for me to choose between Coral Reef & Garden Grill -- they are both amazing restaurants!!! I am a huge seafood lover, so I normally would pick Coral Reef! On the other hand, my DH prefers Garden Grill -- so it's just a matter of your own preferences. I will say if you choose Coral Reef & love seafood, get the Mahi Mahi -- it is delicious!!! We've eaten at CR the past two trips and I am a little sad we won't be eating there this year!
We ate at Hollywood & Vine last year for breakfast. I really enjoyed the breakfast buffet there & our son (who was 2 at the time) enjoyed the character interaction. I'm not a huge breakfast person (I don't eat eggs, bacon, etc) and I really loved the food here! I also should mention that I'm not a huge fan of any Disney breakfast, so this is saying a lot!!! You currently have a lunch ressie for H&V -- so my breakfast review doesn't help you a lot but I just wanted to share our experience because it was a good one!
I have never tried the dinner at Cape May Cafe because while I am a huge seafood fan, my DH is not. I have, however, heard nothing but great things about the evening buffet! This is only my opinion, but I think I would choose Cape May for the 13th because its easier for us (with our toddler son) to eat scheduled breakfasts or dinners on vacation & just grab something mid-day at a quick service restaurant. All families are different & all children are different so it would just depend on your schedule/nap time/break from parks/etc. With our son, its just a lot easier to not schedule many (if any) lunches in case we need to leave the park mid-day. If we have a dinner scheduled, we can always make it back to the park if we've taken a break at our resort or we have time to go to an ADR at another resort after naptime! Lunches are just harder for us to schedule -- but as I said, it just depends on your child's schedule & you know that better than me
Don't forget at Tusker House to ask the CM to take a picture of you with Donald Duck on your own camera. They come around during your meal & ask if you want to purchase the one that the Disney photographer took & it will cost you around $30. If you ask them to take one on your camera, you won't have to worry about this extra charge!
I just read the last 2 pages, so I'm going back to catch up! I can't wait to hear more about your plans!!!
We have 91 days to go!!!!!

I haven't posted here in a long time, but let me tell you that your schedule is wonderful!
And the shirts for the boys are too cute!
Signing up.
Congratulations on booking your flights.Much better than driving... I don't mind a road trip but when it comes to WDW I just want to be there already.
Those red t-shirts are very cute. I would bring them in your carry on and change the boys once you get there. You never know what can happen...
And your ADR's look pretty good. I think you made wonderful choices.
Congrats on less than a hundred days to go.
Q
Subscribing...I love the planning almost as much as going so I'm following along with your pre-trip.
We tried Cape May clambake for the first time last year-we went with my cousin's family and they are big seafood lovers. My son and I don't like seafood so I figured it wasn't for us. It was greatit was my 2nd favorite meal of our trip ( Le Cellier was my favorite )
Mac n cheese was awesome here-real homemade. Desserts and salads were really good. So glad I gave it a try!! The breakfast here is alot of fun too!!
Congrats on getting the perfect LeCellier ADR!![]()
I had to come and share my excitement. I had a 1:20p ADR for Le Cellier on the 8th, but felt that it was so late for lunch, especially when we have lunch at home around 11:30 or 12:00. Well, I have been trying and trying to get an earlier ADR and I finally did today!!! We got an 11:30 ADR for Le Cellier!!!!![]()
