Thanks! ADRs have been popping up regularly for Crystal Palace - I just needed to wait for the right time. I think we’ll really appreciate that early hour of park touring as the extended hours indicate it may be a very busy day!
There’s no similar luck for Topolino’s - not a single breakfast ADR has appeared. Although I’d love to shift our breakfast just a bit earlier, what we have now will work and is a heck of a lot better than my original 11:40am.
I have a notebook for each trip. I make my packing list using the information from previous trips and add or subtract as needed. I also cross things off as I pack them and them highlight the last few items that must be packed at the last minute.
It’s so nice to have a system! It helps stop the second-guessing and fear of forgetting something.
Highlighting is a great idea! Inevitably I always create a post-it note (or two) for the “don’t forget” last-minute items.
It may be short but it's still a thrill.
I’m really looking forward to it!
Every Princess needs to eat in the castle.
It’s the perfect choice for this trip. Even though I’m not super enthused about the food, I am pretty excited to see the inside of the castle!
That darn 3:00 parade is not ideal for nap time.
If L sleeps in the stroller, perhaps we’ll catch the parade from the front of Main Street and then hightail it out of the park for a brief break before our dinner ADR. If it doesn’t work out then we’ll have to catch the parade next time!
Thanks! There’s no perfect answer. It would be much easier to have Disney move our luggage, but then we’re at the mercy of the transfer service for when our luggage arrives at the Beach Club. (From everything I’ve read, all resort transfer luggage is moved to a central location before being shifted to the new resort. Your luggage should arrive at the new resort somewhere between 1-4pm. The 1pm would be fine, but the 4pm would be less ideal! They also will no longer move refrigerated items with luggage transfer, but that’s less of a concern.
I’m sure we’ll make it work no matter how it shakes out!
This is the perfect family ride to start with.
We’ll ride MMRR regardless, but it would be the perfect first ride at the Studios. I hope something else breaks down first thing in the morning instead.
Toy Story Land is so cute and fun looking.
Toy Story Land looks amazing! I’ve read it’s hotter than Hades, but hopefully we can knock out the attractions earlier in the day. I think M (and L, because of all the color) will both enjoy this land.
You do need that extra sleep.
We will! Disney is exhausting!
I hope you make it. MK is the best park for riding rides alone.
I do, too! I figure I have a 50/50 shot. I look forward to the day when my whole family can enjoy a late night in the parks, but in the meantime I’d love some personal time to meander and take in the atmosphere. (And to ride a few extra attractions!)
