Mine starts in November! We actually begin our vacation the day before with an overnight stay at an airport hotel!!

We are on the dining plan. There will be just the two of us, nearing 60 in age but not in heart!

Monday 27th November
10.30ish flight from Manchester, England, arriving around 2.30pm at MCO! Earlier than previous trips so hope to have a more relaxing evening. Check in at POFQ!! Perhaps DTD in evening to eat CS or stay onsite and eat at food court.

Tuesday 28th November
Up bright and early(will have been awake hours anyway, we Brits usually are!). Simple onsite breakfast and off to MK. Stay as long as John(husband)can bear, perhaps early CS lunch at Colombia Harbour House, back to room for rest. Late afternoon go to Epcot. ADR 5pm Le Chefs de France. Candlelight Processional and Illuminations(extra Christmas ones) Woohoo.

Wednesday 29th November
Simple onsite breakfast and then DS. CS lunch either there or back at resort. Afternoon rest, then perhaps AK for EMH(not to rush around, just soak up atmosphere etc) or just relaxing at resort, or perhaps DTD. CS meal at either Tusker House in AK or at POFQ.

Thursday 30th November
Lie in(haha - never can). Leisurly walk up to POR and breakfast at Boatrights. ? Shopping today, got to start sometime! ADR 4.50 at Crystal Palace prior to MVMCP!!!! Late night I hope. Holiday Wishes, snow, cookies and hot chocolate!

Friday 1st December
Simple resort breakfast. By that I mean Beignets, cinnamon rolls, toast, fruit type of thing...not all of them at once though! AK for the morning. ?CS at Tusker House. Relax afternoon. ADR 7pm Yachtsman Steakhouse followed by Epcot EMH, though think it may be more of a waddle around the World Showcase! Illuminations again!

Saturday 2nd December
Epcot this morning. Will want to get there early, so may save breakfast till there. CS lunch Sunshine Seasons. Rest in afternoon. Go to DS to see Osbourne Lights, lit at 6pm I think. Walk to Boardwalk. ADR 8pm Spoodles. Amble around Boardwalk.

Sunday 3rd December
Lie in(bet I still can't!). Perhaps breakfast out, then some shopping. ADR 6.10 Grand Floridian Cafe. Probably back to relax at POFQ, but if feeling like it, MK EMH!

Monday 4th December
Whichever park we feel like, CS lunch there. Relax/DTD etc. ADR California Grill 7.20 for Wishes(9.30)

Tuesday 5th December
Moving day to Homewood Suites Universal probably. Rest of vacation time shopping and enjoying Universal. Probably meeting a couple of folk from forums and eating outside Disney. May pop back to Disney as will have another day on the ticket and water parks too!!

Monday 11th December.
Travel home day!!
Pack up and after breakfast spend last few hours in Universal. Pop back to hotel for wash and brush up and change of clothing and off to MCO for flight home!!


I think I will be returning home about a stone heavier!

This is very open to change as we go, and also I am likely to change some of my ADR's!

Really looking forward to the trip.

 

[Madi100]

This trip is just DH and myself, and we don't have any plans at all. I'm sooo excited to go right now, but I'm really looking forward to having a plan. Knowing that I'm going to Disney, I NEED to have a plan. But, as much as I LOVE to plan, I hate doing the Itenerary. If someone else would just decide for me which days to do what park, I could plan the rest.

We are going Dec 1-8. We are planning on doing MVMCP (I think), CP at Epcot, and the Fantasmic dinner package. Now, I just have to decide WHEN!
