[jessn0622]

Just got back from Disney and we had an amazing time! We only had one day in Disney and we wanted to see it all! With everyone's tips and advice I was very impressed with our day in Disney! Thank you everyone on this board!

I am posting our schedule of the day so that anyone else who only has one day can see what we did! We were celebrating my daughters 5th birthday and I am 8 months pregnant so we didn't do a ton of the big rides, but my husband was able to enjoy most of them. My daughter is also very into the Disney princesses so we had to revolve our trip around seeing them.

7:30- Got to park
7:45- Got into park (very short wait) Went to City Hall to get birthday button for daughter. Anyone celebrating a birthday DO THIS! All the CMs say Happy Birthday on your way throughout the park
8:00- Got into the actually park, went left instead of right like recommended. Went and got FP for Indiana Jones (just for hubby) and FP for Splash Mountain for daughter and hubby.
8:15- Went on Jungle Cruise
8:30- Went on Tarzan Jungle Treehouse
9:00- Hubby went on Priates (Said it was a little jerky but our five year old could have went on it).
9:15- Went on Pirates of the Caribbean
9:30- Daughter and Hubby went on Splash Mountain
10:00- Walked over to Castle, shopped a little bit
10:15- Rode Carousel
10:30- Bibbiddi Boppidi Boutique Princess Makeover for daughter for birthday
10:45- Hubby went and got in line for Rupunzel ( Was already 75 minute wait, which was the longest wait of the day)
I went and got fast pass for Star Tours which had a 110 minute wait and also ran out of fast passes at 11:00 am. Got FP for Space Mountain
11:00- Joined Hubby in line, daughter and hubby rode Dumbo
12:00- Met Rupunzel
12:30- Castle walk through
1:00- Got in line to meet Tinkerbell, Hubby went on Matterhorn
1:45- Meet Tink
2:00- Walked to California Adventures, Got FP for Screamin California
2:30-Rode Ferris Wheet
3:00-Hubby Rode Screamin California
3:30- Lunch at Ariel's Grotto Met all five princesses, worth every penny!
4:30- Road Grizzle River Run
5:30- I went an staked out spot for parade, hubby and daughter walked around
6:30- Parade
7:00- Buzz lightyear
7:30- I went and got a spot for Fantasmic, while hubby went and walked around and got snacks, bathroom break
9:00- Fantastmic was amazing
9:30- Walked over to Fireworks
10:00- Rode Star Tours
10:30- Rode Space Orbitor twice
11:30- Rode teacups
12:45- Rode train around park to say goodbye!!

We never had to wait over 45 minutes for anything except to meet Rupunzel, I never had to wait in line for a bathroom and the the parade and Fantasmic were excellent!

I would have loved to have spent another day in Disney, but if you can't, you can do alot in one day!

Wow, that is impressive! How did your daughter fare? My 5 year old loves princesses, too, but i wasn't sure she would be up for the long Rapunzel wait. I also have a 2 year old so we will probably skip WOC and Fantasmic because of their normal bedtimes. Did your 5 year old stay awake until midnight?

That is so awesome! Sounds like you were able to do so much in just one day and give your daughter a birthday she will always remember! Good for you!!

Wow! That is one full day!!!! I'm glad you had such a great time. You must have been exhausted by the end

Me and my hubby took turns waiting with her, otherwise I am not sure she would make it! She actually cried when she met Rapunzel, I think it was just too overwhelming since it was the first princess she met of the day! She took a small nap when we were holding our spot for Fantasmic, but she did stay awake until midnight! She was sad she couldn't ride more rides!

The trip took quite a bit out of me! Being eight months pregnant, it was a tad exhausting! My feet still hurt!

 

[jessn0622]

I almost forgot that we went on Finding Nemo too! Can't believe we did all that!

 

[ssuriano]

Sounds like an awesome trip!

Very very impressive and glad your daughter had such a great birthday. You can tell your "to-be" bubs in years to come that he/she has already been to Disney and ridden lots of rides and judging no doubt by how much they kicked,
which ones they liked best!

 

[rentayenta]

Well done!

 

[Caseystigger]

How fun!

LOL! It was kinda our joke through the trip, because the baby was so active. It was like he was saying "What am I missing? It sounds like fun, get me out of here!"
