Hello, everybody!
I am a mother of 1 terrific daughter who is graduating from college in 7 days!
For her graduation gift, I am taking her to WDW!
About a month ago, I started reading the DVC point rentals thread and was able to secure 5 nights in May, but at 3 different resorts.
First, about us:
We have been to Disney twice before, always with other people and have never stayed onsite. My daughter is pretty intelligent (forgive my boasting) and even on our 1st trip when she was 7 she enjoyed Epcot the most. Problem was, the other people we were with put Epcot last on the list of our trip and we only spent one afternoon and evening there. The next time we went, the exact same thing happened!! She has always wanted to go back and be able to spend most of her time at Epcot.
So, while I was looking into the trip I asked her what were the main things she wanted to see and do. Immediately she said, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Downtown Disney.
So there are the resorts that were available to us and that we have reserved are:
May 18 - 20 at Saratoga Springs (studio)
May 20 - 22 at Boardwalk Villas (1 Bdrm)
May 22 at Animal Kingdom Kidani Village (1 Bdrm)
I think that looks like a good plan, do you?
We are also wanting to add on the Dining Plan. And here are our ADR's (so far):
Monday, May 19 at Narcoossee's at 7:55 pm
Tuesday, May 20 at Teppan Edo at 8:10 pm
Wednesday, May 21 at Le Cellier at 4:05 pm (only time we found available)
Thursday, May 22 at Sanaa at 7:55 pm
Not sure what we'll do for dinner the first night but will probably be at DTD. Thinking either Ragland Rd. or Wolfgang Express or whatever she has a "hankering" for.
We will be driving down from the upstate of SC and will have our car. Planning on driving to Narcoossee's for our ressie that night.
So, what do you guys think of our plan so far? Yes, we will be having to pack and unpack and move 3 times. I think we can streamline our stuff and do it fairly well.
Wondering if I should just pack in the car or have Disney transfer to each resort? Since I have my car, I don't see why I don't just do it? But what if I have a cooler? What then?
We are so excited about this trip and I am so very thankful for the DVC member that I am working with!! She is so sweet and from my neighboring state of NC!
We hit it off and understand each other well!
Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks!!
