Our HoopDeeDoo Debut (Advice Welcome!)

[Baklava]

I'm thinking on 1/9 we'll do lunch at DS and then either some more DS, then to Yacht club early for mini golf and the early Captain's grille or back to POR for pool time and then to the golf and then the late captain's grille.

 

[Baklava]

I. Um. Well...

I made a transportation touring plan. >blush<

I got all worked up about how to get from one place to another and so I made a plan and let the transportation board poke it with a stick.

So. The All New Boring You Hoo Dee Doo Debut. With buses. And color coding. I may need an intervention.

Day 11 - Departure

MDE departs at 8 am. Sad panda.

Transportation plans are important! They are in my spreadsheet. I think we can do most of our first 4 days with just the buses and then we have a car which makes things easier.

I am still trying to figure out the best time to pick up our rental car on Friday night. It looks like we can arrange pickup to get there from Animal Kingdom when we are done. So I may have attriel do that and take minion 1 with him to get the car while I take the other two minions back to our resort.

Adding Garden Grill at 8:05 on day 9. Positioning for Baymax meet and greet as much as anything.

 

[Baklava]

So, we're back! Do people generally start a brand new thread for the actual report or just add it to their PTR?

 

[tabrizia]

Either or. I'm going to start a new report even though I'm live reporting on my pre some of our adventures.
