Prepare yourself for a stream of consciousness. I've been thinking about all kinds of things!
I made a reservation for Toothsome today for Wednesday evening, our first Universal Evening. Surprisingly I'm finding myself equally as excited about our time at UO as I am for our Disney time. I've been working my way through Touring Plans and making plans for each day. This is the first time I've used in for Universal. I keep wondering if somewhere out there there is a good plan for doing just WWOHP, both Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley and taking most of a day. I'm sure I could put it together myself, but...
Tomorrow begins our 3 week countdown. I think it's going to fly by, but then I hope the trip doesn't fly by.
I've got an ADR at Kona Cafe and I don't think I want to keep it. The menu is so limited due to covid and it seems like we will overpay, even by Disney standards, for what we'll get. Molly wants a sushi roll and it's $24. That's crazy.
I've got an ADR at Via Napoli that I want to keep, but another at Biergarten that I want to give up I think. We've eaten there before and when it was a buffet I think it would've been worthwhile, but Henry is so dadgum picky, that I don't think he'll eat much of what is offered on the prix fixe menu. The issue I'm having is that there are very few reservations available now. I can't find anything table service to replace those 2 meals.
We are planning on Cosmic Ray's or Pecos Bill's for our QS meal at MK. We could always do another QS meal and skip TS entirely that day. We really enjoy Columbia Harbor House, but it's not currently open.
I don't think we'd have any issue finding something good to eat to replace Biergarten in Epcot. We could snack the day away and be totally successful. That may honestly be our best bet since Cory has so many food requests in World Showcase.
We are eating at 50s Prime Time on our HS day. That's a family favorite, we've eaten there on every trip we've taken! We've also eaten at O'hana every trip, but that's not an option this time
We've also got an ADR for Homecomin in DS. We plan on keeping that so long as we stick with going back to WDW on Friday, the 23rd. I don't know if we are going to do that yet or not. If we get our ROTR group on our first go round then we may not...OR we could make Friday our first park day, even though I didn't plan for that. Maybe if the hours at MK are increased it would be worth it. Currently the MK hours for April 16th are only till 6pm. How likely is that to stay the case? Seems early for a Friday.
Has anyone stayed at Cabana Bay? Any words of wisdom?
Also we've never used any ride-sharing company before. I downloaded Lyft and Uber onto my phone and I looked up how much the rides we need would be. $19 to get from WDW to UO and $22 to get back to the airport. I almost think I should practice using Uber at home before we go. I sound like such a dork.
