Wednesday, September 4th: Magic Kingdom
This is the day my sister, my parents, my BF, and I will be on our own at MK. This day has changed slightly from my previous posts because I was able to split our BoG reservations into 2. I originally had one reservation for the 5 of us but then I realized that we couldn’t pre-order without charging all the meals to one room. Because of the dining plan, I didn’t want to deal with this headache. I scored 2 reservations at the same exact time (1:10 pm) so we will be able to preorder and skip the line!
Even though MK opens at 7 am, we will probably end up sleeping in. The latest I want to get there is around 10 am for our 10:15 Pirates FP. I’m building in a Dole Whip stop after this ride before making our way over to our 11:15 FP for Big Thunder.
I want to hit Hall of Presidents before our 12:15 pm FP for Haunted Mansion. As mentioned, we have a Be Our Guest reservation at 1:10 pm. Then, we will just mosey around and shop or ride anything with a short wait.
Afterwards, I want to head to the hotel for the pool, a nap, and an outfit change. I’m sure you’re thinking how many naps do these people take? My BF is not enamored with the idea of being up and at the parks all day every day, so I had to build in plenty of pool and rest time. He’s a corporate attorney with a pretty demanding schedule, so he will actually be using some of this time to get work done.
My BF and I have a 7:40 pm ADR at Cali Grill while the rest of my family has a reservation at The Wave (they chose this over Sebastian's). I’m still debating whether to get there via MK or take an Uber. I want to dress nicely so we will have to see what the timing is between our hotel break and coming back to the MK area. Happily Ever After is at 9:15 pm so I’m hoping we will still be eating during the fireworks but it’s cool we can use CG’s viewing area even if we are finished eating.
Afterwards, I would LOVE to get on the monorail to Poly and hit Trader Sam’s. I’m really hoping it isn’t jam packed though, especially right after the fireworks. If it is, I need a good back up plan. Worst case scenario is we can go back to MK for the last few hours (I believe it closes at midnight).
It's going to be a tight squeeze but he's fortunate enough to travel for work so he might be able to swing it!
I didn't even need to try the Hot Topic one on, this one was that great.
