Plans for the day before MNSSHP

[Pixeldust Fairy]

What does everyone plan on doing before MNSSHP?
Just kinda fun to see what everyone's plans are before the party.

We can't decide if we are going to park it... or DTD.

 

[kitkat4622]

my plan is to hang around the pool until about 2pm, hitting the park for the evening around 3pm

We plan to stay out late the night before, HS late EMH, then sleep in and hit DTD if we have time to kill before heading to MK to get in at 4. We leave the next day, think ME time will be noon. Nice way to finish out our week

Take it easy. Hang out at the hotel. Let the kids watch tv. (We don't have cable tv at home, so they think cable tv is extra special). Go for a swim in the pool. Maybe do some laundry or a grocery store run if needed. And relax!

We are planning on going to Animal Kingdom until about 2:00 or 3:00. This will be our first day in the parks and in our opinion Animal Kingdom is a half-day park so it works out nicely.

We plan on eating a late breakfast at Boma and then hitting the pool until 4 pm

We're going to DTD to shop and look around the new Co-Op.
We can use Disney transportation and go in the morning before the onset of the crazy so we'll try to avoid the parking tragedy.
We'll have a nice lunch there and then head back home to rest and relax a little before hitting MK at 4

Our plan is a later breakfast at Ohana than hang at the resort and do some swimming. Hopefully a long nap for DS then head over after he gets up around 4ish

We were thinking of Doing MK in the morning till about noon, then resting up at the hotel till dinner. I wonder how accessible 7DMT is going to be during the party?

Tuesday we are going to DHS in the AM since we have an ADR at Hollywood and Vine for lunch,then heading to hotel after lunch for downtime until time to head to the party.

On Friday, we have a half day at Epcot with the princess breakfast late and then again heading to hotel for downtime around lunch. That day we are bringing my niece and maybe nephew with us so we will head over to be in the parks for them by 4

 

[DelftBlue]

I'm going to Downtown Disney, then catching a taxi to get my hair done for the party nearby. Hopefully head over to the party by 5 p.m.

We have friends traveling with us who've never been to WDW but don't have park tix that day (while DH and I do). So the plan is for ALL of us to hit Captain Cook
s for breakfast to try the tonga toast, then to hit rope drop at MK to see the welcome show (our friends will watch the show from outside the turnstiles)...then DH and I will hit MK until about 2pm before we head back to AKV to change into our party clothes.

Meanwhile, our friends will tour the monorail resorts in the morning befroe heading back to our villa to swim and chill until 2pm.

Then we plan to dress up and hit the park at 4pm!

Rope drop at DHS, and lunch there at noon or at POP at 1pm. Quick change into our costumes, and then head to the MK bus stop by 3pm.

It's our last day at the parks, so we plan to visit MK from 8am-12pm for our toddlers (who aren't going to the party, they crash by 7-8pm). We'll have lunch at our hotel and choose to swim or nap for a few hours. The older kids and I will head back to MK by 4:30pm to have dinner and go on a few rides before the party starts.

Last time we got back to the hotel at 1:00am, and DH woke us by 5:00am. He wanted to leave by 6:00am and we drove 15 hours home. At least he did most of the driving...

 

[AKies47]

Typhoon Lagoon for me!

 

[Carternc82]

We're flying in on Halloween morning prior to the party - getting in at 9a. We're planning DTD for shopping and lunch, then nap before heading over to the party at 4!

 

[Nevelyna]

On the day of our first party, we're doing MK all day with a breakfast at Crystal Palace, then heading back to the hotel to change right after the 3pm parade.

On the 31st, we're resort-hopping to check out penny press machines and pin trading and having High Tea at Grand Floridian before changing into costumes and getting to MK (hopefully) around 4pm.

 

[CutlerP]

We're flying in that day, arriving at MCO around 1030am.

Hoping to activate our Armed Forced vouchers, hang around the pool or Boardwalk and *hopefully* check into our BWI room before heading over to the party (hoping to be at the gates around 4).

What do you all think, if I can't get into the room before leaving for MK, will our bags, which we will most likely stow at the resort... make their way to our room? Or maybe we should just plan on not leaving for MK before we get the room squared away.

I've got a FP+ for Space Mtn for 330 - 430, was hoping to squeeze in a first ride!!

 

[smitch425]

Oops! Forgot we were doing two parties this year.

Our second party day will be an all day MK day. DD is doing BBB (just hair and makeup) at 8am, and we will stay until midnight. Long day, but should be fun! We are focusing mainly on rides for our second party.

The night before the party we'll be at HS late, so we'll sleep in on party day. Then hang at the resort and swim unless everyone rather go to DTD for awhile or decides they want to go to a park for a few hours (which will be fine with me, I never turn down park time!) Whatever we do, we'll head to MK for 4:00 as we have a CP reservation for 4:15.
