Our First Stay at the Poly - April 2012 PTR!!

oh WOW!!! You leave in UNDER 2 weeks!!!!

Are you just about ready???

Excited? Absolutely!

Ready? Hmmm, still a work in progress.

We're pretty much set I think. I've been tinkering around with our touring plans again, especially since our first MK day is only 2 days after the reported change in Rapunzel's meet and greet location (and most likely time) takes place. So instead heading straight for Rapunzel at rope drop, I think we're going to head straight for Storybook Circus to hit Dumbo and Barnstormer. We'll do the Rapunzel meet and greet on our 2nd MK day.

Also made changes to our DHS day and decided that we will head straight for TSM at rope drop to ride standby. If the kids like it, will grab FPs when we get off the ride. Then we'll head for Star Tours. Also trying to see how to fit in Dug and Russel on our AK day.

Bought some t-shirts today at the Disney Store for the kids. Couple of days ago bought some water gear/toys for the kids as well.

I'm hoping that when we visit SeaWorld on the 14th that the new Turtle Trek exhibit will have a soft opening. It might be wishful thinking, but it's about two weeks from the official opening date.

ya, i can see how it would be questionable. i'm glad that I don't have to fit Fantasyland into my plans. We just go from Space to Buzz, then over to Splash. Then while over there we fit in pirates, Haunted mansion and then spend the rest of the day using up fast passes and quieter things like Monsters inc, people mover, etc... so no FL madness for us at all and no characters so it's the same ol same ol for us.

Same with DHS - hit all the headliners in the am and use up Fp's and do quieter things.

Be sure to report on the Turtle thing if you catch a soft opening. It's something I'm looking forward to especially b/c dd loves sea turtles so much.

If you've never been on it before, it's a great ride. I think the kkids will like it
Mine it!!!!

Tomorrow's the big day! We fly out of BWI at 6:40am. We're checking into a hotel at the airport tonight!

I'm going to start a live report here

Hope to post frequent updates - I think this is where hauling my iPad will come in handy!
