So we are headed off to Walt Disney World in less than 10 hours. My plan is to write a trip report on our return. We started planning back in August of 2006 and below are our plans.
The Cast of Characters; All Disneyland Veterans
Goofster (Me, Trip Report Writer) 6th trip to WDW- Pushing 50
Sorceress (DW) 6th trip to WDW- Still only 28
TinkerBoo (DD #1) 8th trip to WDW-21
Indy-1 (BF of DD #1) 6th trip to WDW-24
Swimlover (DD #2) 5th trip to WDW-18
Eeyore (Family Friend) 1st trip to WDW-18
Master Flash (BIL) 2nd trip to WDW- Younger than Nugget
Nugget (SIL) 2nd trip to WDW-Older than master Flash
Boot Strap (DN) 2nd trip to WDW-5
Method of Travel; Delta Airlines-Red-Eye Non-Stop from Los Angeles for most of the party, Flash, Nugget and Boot Strap will be traveling the following day on United.
Side Note: We could not all travel on the same flight at the request of my MIL.
Transfer Transportation: Tiffany Towncar
Accommodations: Wilderness Lodge-Woods View-Cast Rates
The Plan
Side Note: This is only a Plan we are so over doing Walt Disney World commando style, our only priority is to have a good time and make sure that Eeyore gets to see and do as much as she can since this is her first trip.
Thursday, January 4th
Most of our party will arrive at 6:30 a.m. after taking a red-eye from Los Angeles.
The other half of our party will arrive at 3:55 p.m. from Los Angeles
We both will use Tiffany Town Car to get to the Wilderness Lodge.
We will probably hit DTD since our room will probably not be ready yet, returning to the Lodge to meet up with the other half of the party, then head to MGM in the evening for the Osborne Lights, followed by an ADR at 9:40 P.M. for the Whispering Canyon Café.
This could prove to be a very long day. I have no problem sleeping on a plane ride; however some of the others do, so all of these plans are very tentative.
Friday, January 5th
Magic Kingdom in the morning, followed up by Epcot in the evening.
TinkerBoo and Indy-1 are going to try to get to Typhoon Lagoon today before it closes for refurbishment.
Saturday, January 6th
MGM in the morning with a group ADR for Sci-Fi Dinner at 11:40 a.m., then head over to the Animal Kingdom in the early/late afternoon, if we are up to it we may head over to Downtown Disney/Pleasure Island after Animal Kingdom closes.
Sunday, January 7th
Epcot in the morning, followed up by the Magic Kingdom in the evening with a group ADR at Liberty Tree Tavern at 6:50 p.m.
Monday, January 8th
Down Day, nothing planned; everyone can do what ever they feel like doing, which may include doing absolutely nothing (yeah, like that is going to happen)
TinkerBoo and Indy-1 have an ADR at The California Grill at 7:40p.m
Tuesday, January 9th
Epcot in the morning were TinkerBoo and Indy-1 have a Segway tour scheduled and then we all have an ADR at 12:10p.m .for Le Cellier and then will waddle ourselves over to MGM in the evening
Wednesday, January 10th
A number of our group are going to go to that other theme park up the road a bit for the day, the reset of us will do what ever we feel like doing.
Thursday, January 11th
Animal Kingdom in the morning with a free afternoon; Nugget and Flash have an ADR at 7:20 p.m. over at Le Cellier, Goofster and Sorceress will be watching Boot Strap for the evening and we are planning on getting in a round of Fantasia Golf with him, I apologize in advance to the poor people who will be waiting for us to clear the green so they can play.
Friday, January 12th
Last full day at WDW
ADR-5: 25-Ohanas-Farewell Dinner
Epcot in the evening
Saturday, January 13th
Downtown Disney to get any last souvenirs that we need to pick up with a stop at the Earl of Sandwich for our last meal before heading back to the lodge to meet up with Tiffany Town Car around 3:00 p.m. Our departing flights are close enough that we are all going to be taking the same van from Tiffany back to the airport.
Sunday, January 14th
We just spent 10 days at Walt Disney World What are we going to do now?
Well we are going to Disneyland of course!
So there you have it, if you should happen to spot our group and feel the need to avoid us by hiding in the nearest First Aid Station or some other unpopular attraction, I fully understand.
