It's time for a quick trip down to the World for our new obsession- pin trading! We've recently started trading pins on our trips and jumped at the opportunity to attend Mickey's Pin-tiquities at Epcot. The trip is fast approaching, and I still need to make a few arrangements. We travel down to DW from Tennessee so much that I usually feel comfortable making a few last minute plans.

The When and How
We're planning to fly out of Knoxville on Thursday, June 25 to arrive in Orlando that evening. The plan is to dump the luggage at the room and head over to Epcot for Extra Magic Hours (until midnight!). We usually drive down but figured this would be easiest since it's just the two of us this trip. My stepson is vacationing with his mom this week so we can't take him.
BUT, flying means we'll get back home on Sunday, June 28 in the early afternoon. That drive home always stinks - mostly because we don't want to leave - and we're tired.
The Room
We're staying at All-Star Sports, which is becoming like home since we've stayed there a few times! I waited too long to make reservations at Pop Century and don't want to pay a ton for a moderate resort. Sean and I will spend the majority of the time in the parks anyways. Where we stay is never a huge deal. That may change if a little one comes along however.
The Food
I haven't made any reservations yet, but we're considering eating at the Rose and Crown on Friday, June 26 for dinner. It would be a first for us, and I've heard that the view is great for IllumiNations. We're pretty flexible, so I'm not too worried about it. Give Sean a good beer and something semi-unhealthy to eat and he's fine. The same goes for me and the sweets in France.
Itinerary
I'm still working through the itinerary, but I do know that the majority of our time will be spent in Epcot at the Pin-tiquities event. I do hope to get to the other parks when we have a chance. We both have an AP so we can hop around as we please. I mostly want to get on all of the rides that we can in each of the parks. We have streamlined our plan of attack on the parks in the past and don't take too long to linger. We've seen it, done it, and enjoyed almost everything. I do have to get a little shopping in though.
