I'm bored at work so I thought I'd post our latest "schedule"!

Thursday Dec 4:
-Arrival for most? Early/late afternoon?
-DTD for shopping and a snack
-Take a Bus to AKL to eat a late dinner (Is this OK, Sara? Check out the menu. It is very good and not weird food. If I can eat there anyone can!)
-Hang out at pool bar and maybe meet up with Jen

Friday Dec 5:
-TRY to get to AK as early as possible
-Early lunch at Pizzafari? Flaming Tree?
-Leave around 3:30?
-4:00 Grand Floridian Cafe (I haven't found what time lunch ends and dinner begins. Both menus look good, but dinner is more $$. I think dinner usually starts at 5, but I'm not sure)
-MK for the PARTY!!! Our schedule worked really well this past December. 7:00 Twas the Night show, leave show and go to Frontierland to watch the parade, then go to castle to see fireworks. Then we'll have 3 hours to ride rides, meet charcaters and there is a show in front of the castle. Oh, and drink lots of hot chocolate!

Saturday Dec 6:
-Bfast at Kona
-Epcot
-Lunch/Dinner? in Japan

Sunday Dec 7:
-Character Bfast at Cape May at Beach Club (Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale) It has a 92% approval rating on allears OR Superfragilistic breakfast at Grand Floridian (Mary Poppins, Alice, Mad Hatter, Pooh and EEyore) Also has a 92% rating. O Hana's only has an 82% rating, and Kari said they didn't love it there. We're trying to do a resort bfast to accomodate everyone who may not be going to a park that day.
-??? Some people may be going to a park, some are going to explore Boardwalk.

**When can we eat at Beaches N Cream?? After Sunday breakfast?

Looks great Monica! At AKL they also have the fire pit we could sit around in the evening. We'll have to have ice-cream for lunch at Beaches & Cream on Sunday!

lol! So If we fly in together, Michelles coming for you? I'll wave to you from the ME
I like ME cause it's so easy, but sometimes it does take a while to get there. It pumps me up for the vacation cause they show a cute movie.

I can fit all of you if you want! Unless you have to go both ways on ME Kimmy - or really want to see that welcome video!

I would love for you to pick us up. Thanks Michelle, I will forgo the video to spend more time with my friends.

I'll see if I can arrange a Disney video for your ride!

Will you and Monica really be able to fly in on the same plane? I thought you lived quite a ways away from each other? Or are you going to just arrive around the same time?

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

I'm trying to arrange it for me to layover in Cinnci or to go through Cinnci. Delta hubs in Cinnci and they fly out of Cleveland too. A lot of the times they do stop in cinnci on the way down to MCO. I don't normally fly Delta, but I wouldn't mind if I can get it to work out.

[Poohtigeey]

Yes, you can use them just for one way of your journey. I was seriouly lol at the thought of me waving to you from the bus.

I did too! You might not want to be riding in the car driving around the airport w/ a tree straped to the roof!

Kimmy would have a layover in Cincy, and I'd get on. We'll see. Cincy is usually more expensive, but seems to be lower right now. I'm sure we can arrive around the same time too if we can't be on the same flight.

I get so excited thinking about this trip!!!

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

I'm sure we can arrive around the same time too if we can't be on the same flight.

That I will def be able to do! I have coordinated things like this lots of times.
I'm excited too!!!

 

[Poohtigeey]

Kimmy, you should be a travel agent! I'm sure Pakey would hire you!

Well, everyone I finally get to head out of this place soon. It's been the longest day. I actually read my own trip report!! Have a great night!

That is what I started going to school for. I know the systems and pretty much did get to use some of it.

Yesterday was a LONG day!

 

[Poohtigeey]

That's it? I hop on to see what I've missed since yesterday and there's nothing to read? Where is everyone?

Dave wrote on by birthday card, "Have a fun trip at Disney!" This is HUGE!! It means he approves and is OK w/ me going!

Well, I guess I'll go find something else to do!

Tell me about it! I guess it's just us!
I love what Dave wrote I'm happy for you, this is gonna be great

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Speaking of the birthday present, how was dinner?

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Love the little note from Dave!!

 

[Poohtigeey]

AND he remembered to get me a card from the kids!! I guess I showed my surprise and he said, "See, I'm not a total putz!"

Yummy dinner. I love Ruby Tuesdays cheese fries!

Well, I guess we can forgive Sara for not being on because she did have that pirate birthday party at her house. How much work could that be?

And Pakey said she would be out of town and computerless...

I guess we'll forgive them!

Kimmy, what do you tink of the schedule?

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Kimmy, what do you tink of the schedule?

I "tink" the schedule looks perfect. We do need to "shove" in Beaches and Cream though. That was a BIG Sara request. Maybe we can go there in the middle of EPCOT day?

 

[mom2mek]

Im here! I'm here! I survived the pirate party! I'll post about it on the "other thread". But it was a success. I have Disney math on the brain right now, so I kept adding up all the $ spent on the birthday, thinking wouldn't it be more fun to go to Disney next year for their birthdays? I'm sure I could sell that to Michael. He loves parties, but I bet he would give up 2 hours of fun for 3 or 4 days at Disney!


Schedule looks great Monica! I won't be getting in until 5:00 or so on Thursday night, so depending on the dinner ADR, I might not get to DTD for shopping.

Seriously, the thought of that is painful! But I'll get through it. I guess I could fly and get there earlier, but there is that little, tiny problem of,

COMPLETE IRRATIONAL WHITE-KNUCKLED TERROR!

I'll think about it.

Aren't their two parades at the party? If a lot of people see the 1st parade, is Fantasyland pretty empty for riding? I thought I remembered reading in your report Monica, about trying to get to Frontierland through mass crowds. Just a thought. We could ride rides during 1st parade and see the 2nd one instead. Then we could continue riding until midnight and then we can hide in one of Kimmy's hiding spots so we don't have to leave!



I definitely want to see the 7:00 "Twas..." show. The other times for that look hard to get back for.

Beaches N Cream isn't a must-do, but how far a walk is it from Epcot? Not too far, right? Could be lunch?

COMPLETE IRRATIONAL WHITE-KNUCKLED TERROR!

Yes, but we're worth it!!! We don't have to leave. Boma just seemed to be the preference. We can keep tossing around ideas until June when we can make ADRs. We need to figure out the exact date. Since we have a bigger group that will have to be done as soon as we can.

IMO, it doesn't matter because it's easy to find a spot in Frontierland either time. All rides are pretty empty for riding so that doesn't matter either. It seems like many people leave after the 9:00 fireworks so I would prefer to just ride rides then because that's when the park is empying out and a big part of the crowd is watching the 10:00 parade. Yes Main St is crowded. You just have to weed your way through to Frontierland. This schedule worked so well for me and Kimmy last year, but I know Kimmy usually watched the 10:00at prior parties.

We could do lunch there and Japan for an 8:00 dinner. Illuminations was at 9:30 in December last year. That's alot of food in one day!! We don't have to do Kona. It was just a thought.

Yep, what she said. It did work out very well. I do normally like the parade on Main Street, but it's not worth the crowds and it was nice and spacious in frontier land.

Plus the fake snow is GROSS, clumpy, soap suds. I have no desire to sit in it. AND it stings if you get it in your eyes! I have no idea why this stuff appeals to people unless they've never seen snow before.
