[longing2Batdisney]

Shannon! I am so excited to hear that you guys will be going that week, too! Many of us are working on adding days to our dates; so, I am sure a few more meets will pop up. I do know that the Friday night one for Illuminations in WS is the one that is set in stone!

Sorry I haven't been around much! I'm really trying to catch up and STAY caught up on all the threads. DISing is a full-time job sometimes.

Your plans look like so much fun - littered with DIS meets as always! And Boma breakfast....drooooool. No lunch at the Plaza this trip?

Oh, wait! I see it now! I was just looking for it on the last day.

 

[my2disneyboys]

Ok everyone... time to post final plans!! Only 7 more weeks to go!!! What did we end up with? Who is running the 5K?

Ok everyone... time to post final plans!! Only 7 more weeks to go!!! What did we end up with? Who is running the 5K?

I'll start, Nickie with what I think are our final plans (I hope we do NOT change anything else):

Thursday, September 22

We arrive at MCO at 10:30 p.m. and will pick up rental car and drive to LaQuinta for the night (free room with Mark's points)

Friday, September 23

We will check out of the LaQuinta and drive to Waffle House for breakfast; we'll hit one or two of the Disney Outlet stores and then go over to AKL to check into our one-bedroom villa in Kidani at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. If our villa is not ready (which I'm assuming it won't), we will eat lunch at Mara and then swim in the pool. We are meeting Stefy & Dave from London for a drink at the Tambu Lounge and then head to Downtown Disney and have dinner at Raglan Road; we'll do a little shopping and then meet Sophia & Joe for a drink at Fulton's (Stefy & Dave and Sophia & Joe are fellow DISer's).

Saturday, September 24

We have a 9:25 a.m. breakfast at Boma and then we will walk around the resort and try to take everything in, take lots of pictures, sit on the balcony of our villa and watch the animals and swim. We are having dinner at Downtown Disney at Earl of Sandwich (a first for us) then head back to AKL and go swimming with Miss Cayley and Miss Avery

Sunday, September 25

We will get up relatively early and check in at Old Key West in a Studio for our next four nights. We will then head over to the Magic Kingdom for the opening show and then slwly walk to the Crystal Palace where we are having breakfast with Miss Cayley, Miss Avery, Mary, Jeff and the grandparents. We'll do some attractions and then go back to Old Key West to unpack and swim for a little while. Then it is back to MK for EMH's.

Monday, September 26

We will go to Animal Kingdom for morning EMH's. We plan on having an early lunch after doing the attractions and shows; we are eating at Flame Tree Barbecue. After that, we will head over to Epcot and stay until closing.

Tuesday, September 27

Up early to be at Epcot for morning EMH's. Our oldest son, Andy, will be arriving at MCO around 11:30 and we hope will be at Epcot by 1 p.m. We'll do some attractions with Andy and then go back to Old Key West to get Andy unpacked and changed into our "costumes". We are then heading to dinner at Captain's Grille at the Yacht Club with Mary and her family and then heading to the MNSSHP for the evening with Miss Cayley and Miss Avery.

Wednesday, September 28

We will head to the Studios for rope drop and make the mad dash for Toy Story Mania like everyone else; we have an 11:20 lunch ADR at 50's Prime Time (we've not been here in over 10 years); back to Epcot where we have a dinner ADR at Rose & Crown. We will hang here all night (they have evening EMH's); Andy and his Dad will have drinks around WS I am sure.

Thursday, September 29

We will be up early to check out of Old Key West and load up the car with our luggage. From there, we have a 7:30 a.m. ADR at Kona (I refuse to cancel this one this year!) and then we will go to the Magic Kingdom and do all the rides that we can prior to our 1:45 ADR at the Plaza Restaurant (our traditional last meal). After lunch, we will drive to Marco Island where we will be from the 29th p.m. until we depart on Wednesday, October 5 for home

Your plans look fantastic. It's a nice mix of relaxing and heading for all the attractions. OKW really puts you in a "relax" mood - just somethin' about it!

Plans sound great Wendie.

Love the Swiss Family Robinson night idea.

Mark, Andy and I are watching Toy Story 2. Yes, I have to admit, we've never seen it or 3...but that will be rectified before the trip.

Wow - you guys have quite the party started here, don't you?

Looks like I will be overlapping with most of you for part of our trips. We will be there from Sept.30-Oct.10th. Hopefully we will bump into each other at some point! I'll bet Oct.1st is going to be a busy, busy day keeping track of all the Dissers!
