First off, I'm new here. Before anyone says "Too much food!", we're on the premium deluxe dining plan. 3 table service a day with signatures only costing one credit. We also get Cirque du'Soleil tickets as well as access to park tours. We are going Thanksgiving week.
This is our first disney resort stay. A little background on us.
My name is Roger. I'm a complete disney fanatic. I'm 28 l old and am very excited about this trip. I've been to Disney three times - Once with my parents at the age of two, and only visited Magic Kingdom. Again when I was 16, I went on a show choir trip in high school, and again, we only went to Magic Kingdom. I finally got back to Disney when I was 25. This was my first trip with my wife. We stayed with some family, and went to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. We spend a lot of time at Sea World as well, but this is a disney exclusive trip.
My DW is Letetia. She's 29. She has been to all four disney parks, and has made another trip or two more than I have, including one last year when I had to stay behind for a big show choir rehearsal (I'm a teacher. Sad part about this is, my rehearsal ended up being cancelled due to copious amounts of snow).
On with our trip plan:
We're driving down and arriving on Sunday. We're staying at POP. I was ontop of our 180+10 reservation day and got everything that we wanted
Sunday, November 24 - Arrival/AK/MK or Epcot
Arrive at AK in time for park opening
Lunch at Yak and Yeti
Hop to MK or Epcot after the Jingle Jammin' Jungle Parade
Dinner at Narcoossee's
Arrival Day. We're driving overnight and I don't sleep well in cars. I'l drive from when we leave home at 4 PM until we get to probably SC or into SC (Coming from WV), and then will TRY to sleep the rest of the way. DW sleeps amazingly in vehicles and she'll be out the whole time I'm driving. Narcoossee's ADR isn't until 9:05 so we'll be tired puppies after dinner!
Monday, November 25 - Keys to the Kingdom Day! MK
Breakfast at Crystal Palace pre park opening, before KttK
Included lunch at Columbia Harbor House
Dinner at Be Our Guest
Super excited to have gotten Be Our Guest, and it's at 6:20 so we should have plenty of time to get to a spot for the Main Street Electrical Parade and Wishes. Do they run two parades a night? Also, would you suggest Wishes Dessert Party?
Tuesday, November 26 - HS
Breakfast at Hollywood and Vine
Lunch at 50's Prime Time Cafe
Dinner at Kona after Fantasmic
Not much to say here. We're hoping to see Fantasmic AND the Osbourne Lights before our 9:30 at Kona.
Wednesday, November 27 - UnDISCOVEred Future World Day! - Epcot/DTD
Breakfast at Chef Mickey's
Undiscovered Future World Tour @ Epcot
Lunch at Big River Grille - This is still up in the air, no ADR here so we may dine elsewhere at Epcot. Suggestions?
La Nouba
Dinner at Fulton's Crab House
Looking forward to La Nouba. We will be seeing the 6 PM showing so ideally, we'll be able to stay at Epcot until 4:30. Excited about Fulton's because we're seafood eaters, and I plan on enjoying the King Crab! Worth it to double up and use two dining credits for two entrees? Again, I'd love a suggestion on Big River Grille, worth it or change it up? We'll be heading to lunch after our tour. We've got some interest in Nine Dragons Biergarten, Teppan Edo, and Rose and Crown, but we're just not sure.
Thursday, November 28 - Thanksgiving Day! - Epcot/DTD/DisneyQuest?
Breakfast at Kona
Lunch at Tokyo Dining
Dinner at T-Rex
We can pretty much head to DTD whenever we feel like it on this day. I know ride lines will be bad so we'll probably look to spend a lot of the day at World Showcase before heading to DTD. DisneyQuest is included in our package. Is it worth our time? I believe we also have mini golf and Splitsville access. Also, bento box lunch and dinosaur themed dinner on Thanksgiving.
Friday, November 29 - Last Day (Leaving early Saturday Morning)
- MK/Epcot
Breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table
Lunch at The Plaza (A favorite of ours from the last trip)
Dinner at Le Cellier
We plan to see Candlelight Processional, and Holiday Illuminations on this night. We also will have at the most, two dining credits each leftover after dinner. Can we double up and order two entrees each at Le Cellier? (Ribeye AND Filet?)
When it's all said and done, I'll probably provide a dining and trip report!
